Lipo is a familiar term that most of us can relate to with various ideas and images coming to mind. It means that fat is removed from the body using some type of device, surgical or otherwise. A term that may be less familiar is non-invasive laser lipo. This refers to non-surgical methods of achieving “lipo” or fat removal from the body. It is all about body-contouring; getting rid of the extra fat deposits that are an embarrasement. We hardly even consider these rolls and blobs as parts of our bodies. Rather, we regard them with disdain and want them gone. We want to be lean with hot bodies regardless of our age.

Regarding one’s body with disdain is not a healthy practice psychologically speaking. There is non-invasive help to slim-down and tone these problem areas. A few different devices have come to the market and they all use a type of cold laser emission to achieve effects that are similar to surgical liposuction. No suction, pain, doctors, anesthetics, or healing time are involved. You simply go to a salon that has one of these cold laser lipo machines and sit down for treatment.

This treatment typically involves the placement of three to four pads to the area that is to be treated. If you are trying to lose belly fat, the pads are placed on the abdomen. If you want to clear cellulite from your thighs, the pads are placed there. The idea is fairly simple. Each of these treatment pads contains special diodes that emit a cold laser frequency that induces adipose tissue (fat cells) to release stored fat. The effects are immediately noticeable, not dramatic, but enough to be extremely encouraging. The liberated fats from the cells that store them are released into the interstitial fluid between the cells. At this point, the body is able to metabolize and eliminate the fat released by the cold laser lipo.

Four brands dominate the market. For salon entrepreneurs, these devices are capable of bringing in significant revenue and additional business. For clients seeking spot-reduction of particular areas of fat, these cold laser lipo systems are nothing short of a blessing. The brands that stand out are LumiSlim, Strawberry Lipo, Zerona, and I-Lipo. These are brand names for devices that operate in the same manner mentioned above. Pads emitting a specific cold laser lipo frequency are placed on areas to be treated and the machine takes care of the rest. There is one specific cold laser frequency that will achieve results, so each of these machines essentially does the same thing.

The major differences are in cost and construction. So far, the only cold laser lipo machine produced to medical grade standards is the LumiSlim Pro Laser Lipo system by Crystal Medical. The other three brands are standard commercial grade. This simply means that there is a higher standard for the LumiSlim in terms of its construction and operation. It also retails at 3,999, making it affordable to salon businesses everywhere with considerably low overhead. LumiSlim is backed by a 5 year guarantee, providing additional assurance that this machine is trustworthy.

The other brands are reported as being exceptionally effective as well, but the pricing is rather high in a competitive market. The Strawberry Lipo, a popular model at the moment, retails at 20,000, making it more of a steep jump for beauty salon owners with less to invest. Zerona is an American body contouring system that has also proven effective but it sells at a whopping $79,000! I-Lipo is more fairly priced at roughly 11,000, which is still high when compared to LumiSlim.

The bottom line is that the prime technology of medical grade non invasive cold laser lipo with LumiSlim is a better investment for the beauty salon or spa owner seeking to create continued revenue. For the clients coming in to receive LumiSlim treatments, it means a more affordable cost for treatment. There is simply too much incentive to try LumiSlim first and discover for yourself what it can do both for your business and your clientele.
