What happens when you do the i.Lipo treatment at Marie France

YAY! I’ve signed on with Marie France for another year and I couldn’t be happier. As you know, Marie France has helped me lose all the baby weight and go down to my pre-pregnancy size. And while it took several months to do it (nope, it wasn’t an overnight thing), I am glad it took that long because I didn’t succumb to crash dieting or too much exercise. I did it the healthy way, which is why the pounds stayed off.

I don’t have much to lose at the moment, but I do need some toning in my tummy and leg area. I am glad that Marie France has all the machines I need in this department (they aren’t just for weight loss, but also for toning and skin tightening). One machine has become an instant favorite, because it is super effective and feels like a warm massage (seriously you relax while your fats melt away). It is called the i.Lipo Body-Shaping Laser, and it is the newest innovation in fat reduction and body contouring.

Okay, so more about this super machine: it is the first of its kind in the Philippines but it is also US FDA-approved for circumference reduction via laser lipolysis. Yes, i.Lipo has been clinically-proven to give visible, measurable results after just one session (seriously, it works). You can actually lose as much as 4 cm in your problem area on your first treatment, with results improving further after every session. Some cases have even been found to be comparable to results gained from liposuction, but without the cuts, bruises, pain and risks!

So this is how it works: i.Lipo uses low-level laser energy to target and breakdown fat cells in specific areas, like the tummy, arms, and thighs. This results in instant inch-loss and body-shaping safely and painlessly, and all while you are lying down (actress Jessica Alba has tried it and was impressed by it, and it has been featured in top magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, OK! Magazine, Shape Magazine and New You).

I know you are super excited to try it, but like me in the beginning, also hesitant to give it a go. So I’ve asked Marie France to give me more information about it. Read up and know what sets i.Lipo apart from all the other machines.

What is i.Lipo?

i.Lipo is the latest breakthrough in laser lipolysis, offering fat elimination and body contouring via low-level laser energy. It is a US FDA-approved treatment that targets and breaks down fat cells in specific areas like the tummy, arms, and thighs. With i.Lipo, inch-loss and body shaping are achieved safely and painlessly.

How does i.Lipo work?

i.Lipo stimulates the body’s natural response to fat-burning by utilizing low levels of visible red laser light to target and eliminate unwanted fat. With treatment pads placed on the problem area, i.Lipo emits laser energy to prompt fat cells to break down the stored triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. These are then transported to tissues for use when the body needs its energy reserves, thereby promoting metabolism. Once metabolized, these are eliminated through the body’s natural processes.

Who are the candidates for i.Lipo?

i.Lipo is best for those who are struggling with stubborn excess fat on particular areas, like the arms, tummy, and thighs. It is recommended for those who want a more defined figure, as it helps to contour the body to its ideal shape. And since it is non-invasive, it is also perfect for those who do not want to undergo risky surgical fat reduction procedures.

How long does a session take?

It varies depending on the size of the treatment area. But in general, it usually takes only 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Is it safe?

Very safe. i.Lipo is non-ablative and only focuses on the target area. It does not affect nor damage surrounding skin, blood vessels and peripheral nerves. Moreover, it can be performed on all skin types.

Is it painful?

Not at all. Clients have described the treatment to feel like a massage. But a slight warm sensation may be felt from the treatment pads, depending on the skin’s sensitivity.

Is there downtime?

There is no downtime. Normal activities can be resumed right after the treatment.

What results can be expected from i.Lipo?

Painless fat reduction and body shaping. You can achieve 2 to 4cm fat loss in your problem area in just a single session. An ultrasound imagery has likewise shown up to 30% reduction in fat layer depth after one treatment. And you can expect results to keep improving with more treatments. It has also been clinically-proven to yield results comparable to liposuction in some cases.
