LIPOTRON uses a patented radio frequency technology for safe, pain-free treatments that are a non-surgical (non-invasive) alternative for skin tightening and fat reduction including: face, neck, body, hands, abdomen, contouring, cellulite removal, fat reduction and melting deep visceral fat associated in over weight and obese conditions.

How is it different?

Unlike liposuction procedures which require patients to undergo surgery, the LIPOTRON Radio Frequency fat reduction and skin tightening device introduces a new era in the field of cosmetic medicine in treatments for fat and cellulite. The LIPOTRON device uses a bi-polar radio frequency technology for the treatment of cellulite, visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. This device is the only alternative treatment to liposuction surgery with permanent results — unlike body wraps or endermology, which simply change the structure of the cellulite, but do not eliminate it—the LIPOTRON device actually destroys the fat cell, which is then excreted through the body’s lymphatic drainage system.

How does it work?

Radio frequency currents recognize fatty tissue because of their high water content. It makes it easy to selectively heat and release melted cells. Using Bi-polar frequency of the RF current, the heat is delivered to deep subcutaneous fatty tissues without damaging surface skin. The deep heating effect also tightens skin by stimulating collagen production. The deep heating effect also reduces the orange peel, dimpled look of cellulite. It is an effective treatment in reducing stretch marks and firming of the sagging skin. Radio frequency has been reported to dissolve fat up to 8 inches deep, around internal organs (called visceral fat). Visceral fat is particularly unhealthy since it increases the risk of heart disease.

How many treatments does it take?

A full course of treatment consists of 10 sessions, one week apart. It takes about 3 sessions to start seeing results: loss of inches, smoothing of cellulite, and tightening of skin.

Each treatment session is approximately 40 minutes and feels like a hot-stone massage. Many people report a tingling or warm sensation, or no sensation at all.

The following may be experienced after the treatment: redness for several hours post treatment; dryness; itching; skin irritation; remote risk of a burn to the skin; and possible increase in menstrual flow.

To minimize skin irritation during or after treatment, a special silicone conductor gel is used. We also ask patients to apply a special moisturized at home. Skin and underlying fat reach a temperature of 41 degrees C, during the treatment. Melted fat is removed from the body by natural means a few hours after treatment and treated areas may feel like “jelly” for a day or two.

Who is the ideal candidate?

This treatment has been shown to be effective for all body and skin types over the age of 18. It is ideal for patients who desire spot reductions for areas that do not respond to diet or exercise. The best results will be seen by men and women who want to get rid of stubborn areas of body fat despite exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. As it is with any fat reduction or body contouring procedure, results are drastically improved if the treatment is done in conjunction with an overall diet and exercise program. It is strongly recommended that each patient is evaluated based on body type and lifestyle so that reasonable expectations may be set.

Why is it important that I perform vibrational therapy or cardio exercise immediately post treatment?

A portion of the fat that has been released from the fat cells during the treatment is converted to a readily available source of energy for your body. Using vibrational therapy which gives cardio exercise immediately after the treatment will encourage your body to use or burn that available energy. For this reason it is recommended that a vibration therapy device is used for 10 minutes immediately after the treatment session. These machines provide a low impact, intense cardio workout in a minimum amount of time with very little effort. If a vibration therapy device is not available any sort of cardio workout (even walking) is encouraged to help maximize results.
