down.
i-Lipo is a
non-surgical procedure that utilizes low-level laser technology to break up fat
cells and remove stubborn fat pockets. The treatment works best on the waist,
thighs, hips, upper arms, and neck. The laser causes fat cells to break open,
release their contents, and shrink in size. The contents of the fat cells are
eliminated through the lymphatic system. The procedure lasts for an hour and is
suitable for all skin types. The treatment does not require any anesthetic.
Patients need a total of 8 sessions. Exercising right after the session can
improve circulation and metabolism. Noticeable results will show up six months
after the treatment.
Zerona is a
body contouring treatment that uses laser technology to remove excess fat. The

fatty fluids that are excreted through the lymphatic system. The procedure is
painless and will take 40 minutes to treat both the front and back of the body.
Doctors recommend having a total of 6 sessions within two weeks. Results will
gradually become more noticeable after a few weeks.

remove stubborn fat pockets on the abdomen, back, thighs, and under the chin
while tightening any lax skin. It uses diode-laser technology to penetrate the

cells that are excreted through the lymphatic system. There may be some
swelling and redness that will subside over time. Patients need to drink more fluids
as it helps to remove the remaining fat cells. It is recommended to have at
least two sessions, two months apart. The results will gradually appear over
