Frequently Asked Questions

Our red light technology is perfectly safe. It is FDA-cleared and classified by the FDA in Risk Group 1, the safest category of medical devices. In over 40 years of red light research, there have never been any negative side effects demonstrated. In fact, the more it is studied, the more benefits are discovered.

While you listen to music or read a book, the LED panel is aimed at each stubborn fat area for eight minutes and is rotated according to your treatment plan. Based on your specific goals, sessions customarily range from 32 minutes to 1 hour.

Based on clinical studies, optimal results are achieved when sessions are structured  1-2 times a week over a 3-6 week period. When used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle,  the average overall inch loss is 8 to 14” by the 7th treatment.

Clinical studies have shown that it is seven times more effective than the other miracle weight-loss light therapies featured recently on Dr. Oz, such as laser therapies (Zerona) or other red light therapies (such as i-Lipo), and it is a fraction of the cost. No diet or exercise program can even begin to compare with our UltraSlim^® technology.

You will notice the results immediately. If you don’t lose at least 2” of fat in less than an hour during your first treatment, you get your money back if you choose. No other weight loss procedure or surgery can make this guarantee. Approximately 75% of clients lose over 3” (a full dress size) on their very first treatment, and some people have even lost as much as 6-8” on their first treatment!

For best results, treatments should be done 1-2 times per week to allow your liver sufficient time to process out the released fat. If more than 4” is lost during any one treatment, allow a  week before your next treatment for optimal results.

The liberated emulsified fat is picked up by the lymphatic system and processed by the liver as part of the body’s normal course of detoxification. The transitory pore in the fat cell will close in about 48-72 hours, and the liberated contents will be excreted over the next few days.

No. The treatments should not be used by pregnant women or individuals with active cancer. When treatments empty the fat cells, the liver causes fatty acids and triglycerides to be voided from the body. Accordingly, individuals with compromised liver function should not receive treatments.

Yes. Patients with a higher metabolic rate are better able to excrete the fat cell contents and enjoy better results. However, the technology works for patients of all ages and skin types.

No, in fact, it is very relaxing. Many people report that chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and joint problems actually improve after being exposed to red light.

No. The treatment actually tightens your skin by creating lots of new collagen and elastin in the skin cells. It will even help you reduce sagging skin and stretch marks from previous weight loss.

It can reduce fine lines, age spots, and wrinkles. It also tightens skin,  builds collagen and elasticity, increases blood circulation, enhances the metabolism, reduces  the appearance of cellulite, detoxifies and revives the body, and does not harm fat cells.
