How Body Light Lipo Works

Our Body Light lipo machines use lipid peroxidation technology, which uses a 100% LED system to penetrate 10-12 mm into your layer of fat. During this safe, 15-minute treatment, light stimulation opens pores in the fat cells which release their fatty acids into the space between cell membranes. This opening allows the triglycerides to escape, and the fat cells to empty and shrink. These fatty acids are then transported to the circulatory system and metabolized by muscle movement during exercise.
