So have you heard the news? I’m going to be getting i-lipo treatments. I’m really excited and I figured that women all over have some of the same issues so I decided to make my i-lipo treatments public and chronicle my journey so women everywhere could be inspired, determined and transcended into life changes. I’m going to tell you about the open house I attended that started my journey, the people in the office where I’m getting the pain free, no side effect treatments and chronicle every step including how I approached the issue with my husband & even made use of a COUPON for 1 free treatment. Stay tuned…. This is going to be the best, real life, honest review and chronicle of my own personal journey that you’ve ever read! ☺
UPDATE: I’ve already had 8 people ask me where I did this (I live on the Eastern Shore and we generally tend to lack services but I did find this one):
Dr. Patrick Callahan – he offers an open house monthly and gives a free treatment at the open house (next one is 7/11 6pm)
410-810-5450 is the phone number and its in Chestertown at the hospital (but the procedure is non surgical)
I’m going to explain why I choose Dr. Callahan and the research I did BEFORE hand so I knew what I was getting into….., the costs involved, what the treatment was like along with the entire process!
What is i-lipo? (from the i-lipo site – because I knew many of you would have questions on this new procedure that was featured on the day time hit show Doctors which is where I 1st found out about it)
The award winning i-Lipo laser from Chromogenex offers your patients a safe and effective means to achieve immediate and measurable inch loss. i-Lipo uses low level laser technology (LLLT) to stimulate the body’s natural process for releasing its stored energy from adipose tissue, shrinking those fat cells and delivering the body shaping results your patients demand.
The human body stores excess calories from your diet in adipose tissue. When needed, those fat cells will break down their stored triglycerides into free fatty acids, glycerol and water, providing the body with energy during times of scarcity. That same metabolic process that is induced hormonally by the brain can also be triggered by low level laser energy delivered by i-Lipo.
i-Lipo is a revolutionary, non-invasive body shaping and cellulite reduction technology offering convenient, safe and pain free body contouring in as little as 20 minutes, without surgery and without downtime. This non-destructive approach to fat reduction can be used year-round on all skin types. i-Lipo treatments are passive and non-technique dependent, which means a constant manipulation of the device is not required. After the i-Lipo treatment pads are properly positioned, the technician is free to attend other office matters.
Clinical studies have confirmed the efficacy of the LLLT and the i-Lipo diode laser to deliver body shaping results. Two treatments per week for four weeks are recommended. All parts of the body can be treated where fat is stored, including the waistline, thighs, arms, leg and even under the chin. Patients typically report a 10% inch loss reduction following a treatment regimen.
i-Lipo is the first direct skin contact laser device designed for fat reduction and body contouring to receive FDA approval for circumferential reduction. Based on results from a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study of 34 volunteers, the FDA found that over 70% of participants experienced significant inch loss, thus validating the use of i-Lipo to target specifically chosen anatomical areas for fat reduction. The results represented more than double the percentage difference for meeting significant results as defined by the FDA.
