• Inches Lost: 10.16 inches avg.
P-value: <0.01%
Adverse Reactions: 0
How it works
Dual Coherent laser wavelengths of 680nm and 980nm supercharge the metabolism and stimulate the fat cells to open and release intra-cellular fat, water, and toxins. The stored fat energy is then utilized by the body through the natural metabolic process of ATP synthesis. The by-product carbon dioxide (CO2) is exhausted through respiration. The remaining water and toxins are then excreted out of the body via urine and sweat. The detoxification process will allow the body to operate at an optimum level to improve overall health and wellness.
invisa-RED™ treatments also increase collagen and elastin production within the epidermal and dermal layers to effectively tighten skin while the patient loses weight.
How many treatments do I need?
Patients will start their program by focusing on losing their first 20 pounds of body fat which is usually around twenty-four treatments. If the patient needs to lose more than 20 pounds of fat they will continue treatments until their goal is reached. Two to three short treatments per week is recommended for the duration of your treatment schedule. Treatment session needs vary from client to client. A consultation with a clinician will give you a better idea of how many treatment sessions you will need to achieve your desired results.
Will there be any downtime?
No. The treatments are non-surgical, non-evasive and pleasant. Treatments are very relaxing, and studies show the effectiveness of our technology in weight reduction without any of the side effects of invasive procedures or adverse reactions.
Maintenance
Once patients obtain their weight loss goals, they may benefit from any of the aesthetics services that invisa-RED™ provides. These services are skin tightening, stretch-mark fading, spot specific body contouring and cellulite elimination.
invisa-RED™ iR ELITE for BODY CONTOURING
invisa-RED™ iR ELITE is the latest innovation in body slimming technology used to remove fat from areas that are unresponsive to diet and exercise and reshape regions of your body very rapidly. Our innovative technology is a safe, non-invasive, and painless alternative to traditional fat reduction procedures. Each session can remove up to an inch of unwanted fat from any undesired problem areas. Treatments are ideal for both men and women, eliminating the fatty areas that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. Most clients will see results after their first treatment.
How it works
Subcutaneous fat (fat cells between the skin and the muscle) is what your body utilizes when it needs energy. When the body metabolizes fat from the subcutaneous fat it will utilize the fat cells that are closest to the muscle first. These fat cells are located the farthest from the skin. Most people rarely utilize the fat from the cells closest to the skin. These cells are larger due to the amount of stored fat inside that is never metabolized in the body. Concentrated laser energy safely and painlessly activates the fat cells closest to the skin to open and stimulate the body’s metabolism to utilize the stored fat as energy. The fat that is not utilized for energy is then eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system naturally.
How many treatments do I need?
Treatments will vary depending on several factors including, size of the area, skin-tone and site location. Multiple treatments are recommended three times per week for optimal results. Treatment times can range between 15-20 minutes per session. Treatment sessions will vary from client to client.
Is there any pain or downtime after treatments?
No. Treatments are non-surgical, non-invasive, and pleasant. Clients will listen to music, use Facebook, text, or take a nap during treatments.
Areas that can be treated
Any area of the body that is non-responsive to diet and exercise can be reduced and contoured effectively. The most common areas are the waist, back, arms, legs, hips, thighs, buttocks, chin and neck.
Maintenance
Once you have reached your desired goal, we recommend a maintenance schedule of one to two treatments monthly. Clients are welcome to schedule touch up treatments as needed after their maintenance schedule is complete.
invisa-RED™ iR ELITE for CELLULITE REDUCTION
Cellulite is an extremely common condition that affects 90% of women and 20% of men both fit and obese. While unsightly, cellulite presents no major health risks but is one of the most difficult conditions to get rid of due to the variety of factors that can cause it.
There are many misconceptions regarding how cellulite occurs and it is a widely debated topic within the medical and aesthetic communities. However, a large majority of experts do agree on several factors that have assisted us in developing a highly effective, long lasting solution to rid your clients of unattractive cellulite.
Causes of cellulite
• Unhealthy lymphatic system function, poor circulation, and blood flow within the problem area will increase the likelihood to develop cellulite.
• Hormone levels and imbalances involving estrogen, insulin, noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, and prolactin are part of the cellulite production process.
• Poor collagen production
• Genetic predispositions of certain genes are required for cellulite development. Genes may predispose an individual to characteristics associated with cellulite, such as gender, race, slow metabolism, distribution of fat just underneath the skin, and circulatory insufficiency.
• Lifestyle Factors that assist in developing cellulite may be more prevalent in smokers, those who do not exercise, and those who sit or stand in one position for long periods of time.
• Clothing like underwear with tight elastic across the buttocks (limiting blood flow) may contribute to the formation of cellulite.
What is cellulite
Cellulite consists of enlarged adipose tissue or fat cells and is a type of connective tissue that is classified as a connective tissue disorder. Due to low collagen production, the connective tissue allows the fat cells to rise towards the skin. Because of this, cellulite (fat cells) bulge and push upwards towards the dermis giving the “orange peel” or “dimpling” effect at the dermis level in different grades. We place these into four grades or types:
0 – Smooth (no visible dimpling in the skin sitting or standing)
1 – Mild Visibility (slight dimpling when sitting, but not visible standing)
2 – Moderate Visibility (Dimpling is visible, even if slightly, but not lying down)
3 – Severe Visibility (heavy dimpling or pitting in the skin, sitting or lying down)
There are several treatment levels depending on the grading.
Treatments help increase with fresh blood, water, nutrients, and oxygen saturation in and around the area as well as helping to stimulate collagen and elastin production to tighten the connective tissue deficiency of the cellulite.
This also helps to stimulate the lymphatic system to remove unwanted toxins and in removing the contents of the cells and creating more collagen production to the tissue and skin.
Treating Cellulite from multiple points provides faster and longer lasting results. Our technology provides clients the results they have been searching for.
invisa-RED™ iR ELITE provides multiple solutions:
• Stimulation of collagen production creating tighter skin and connective tissue reducing the appearance of cellulite.
• Size Reduction of fat cells
• Stimulation of the lymphatic system to remove fat and toxins
• Increased ATP synthase to boost metabolism
• Increased blood flow (vasodilation), water, and micro nutrients to the area
Cellulite Treatments
Safely smooth and eliminate cellulite as effectively as liposuction with no needles, no pain, and no downtime. invisa-RED™ treatments target the bumpy appearance of cellulite by restoring enlarged fat cells to a smaller size, resulting in smooth, tighter skin.
How it works
Cellulite is caused from weakened connective tissue and enlarged fat cells that are unresponsive to diet and exercise causing a dimpling effect. The pulsing laser light increases collagen production to strengthen the connective tissue and activates the enlarged fat cells to open, allowing the contents to leave the cell and be utilized in the body’s natural metabolism. The fat that is not utilized will then be eliminated through the lymphatic system. The result is a smooth cellulite free area of the body.
How many treatments do I need?
Although visible results can be seen in as little one treatment, clients will see optimal results after multiple short treatments which are recommended three times per week for the duration of your treatment schedule. Not only will you notice a reduction in cellulite, but also see a reduction in the circumference of the treatment area, as well as an improvement in the skin’s texture.
Treatment session needs vary from client to client. A consultation with a clinician will give you a better idea of how many treatment sessions you will need to achieve your desired results.
Will there be any downtime?
No. The treatments are non-surgical, non-evasive and pleasant. Treatments are very relaxing, and studies show the effectiveness of our technology in cellulite reduction without any of the side effects of invasive procedures.
Areas that can be treated
Any area of the body can be treated. The most common areas are the back of legs, hips, thighs, buttocks, and waist.
Maintenance
Once clients have reached their desired goals, we recommend a maintenance schedule of one to two treatments monthly.
invisa-RED™ iR ELITE for SKIN TIGHTENING
invisa-RED™ iR ELITE skin tightening patients can effectively tighten moderately lax, crepey, and sagging skin all over the body, helping them improve their appearance and potentially postpone the need for surgery.
How it works
invisa-RED™ uses targeted laser energy of 680nm and 980nm to heat deeper layers of skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. As we age, production of collagen and elastin slows down, resulting in areas of lax, sagging skin. Treatments are effective for multiple areas of the body, such as the neck, abdomen, buttock, arms, and thighs. The number of treatments needed varies depending on the individual patient’s needs.
Will I feel any pain during treatments?
No. The treatments are quick, non-surgical, non-invasive and pleasant.
How many treatments do I need?
Treatment times are very short, around twenty minutes, and the stimulation of collagen growth will last for several weeks to months after treatments. Multiple treatments are necessary and are recommended three times per week for the duration of your recommended treatment schedule. Treatment sessions will vary. During your private consultation, a clinician can give you a better idea of how many treatments you will need to achieve your desired results.
Maintenance
Once you have completed your treatment schedule, we recommend you come in for touch up treatments one to two times per month.
