How does IR (Infrared) Red Light Lipo Therapy work?
IR Red Light Lipo Therapy stimulate fat cells to emulsify (liquefy) the fat within the cell. When energy is required by the body, the brain sends signals to the adipose cells to break down the stored fat, a process called lypolysis. During this process, free fatty acids are released into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body.
The heat and light emitted from the belly wraps and contouring pads stimulates the release of energy. Then the liquefied fat moves from inside the cell through a temporary pore formed in the cell membrane to outside the cell where it is in the interstitial space until absorbed by the lymphatic system.

What does the set up of a session look like?
To begin, we utilize one infrared (IR) red light belly wrap that features 200 lights on the back of your torso. Then, another IR red light belly wrap, equipped with an additional 200 lights, is placed over your belly.- For the specific body area being treated, it is advisable to use between 10 and 14 red light bricks at any given time for effective contouring.
Are the treatments painful?
Not at all! There is no pain involved. The treatments are very relaxing and soothing.
Are there any side effects?
Is it Effective?
Absolutely! Numerous clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of Lipo-Light in reducing body fat and waist girth. This innovative technology allows you to target specific problem areas, like the abdomen, hips, back, arms or thighs, and work towards your body goals in a targeted way.
Additional Benefits
But it's more than just about weight loss. Lipo-Light can also contribute towards skin tightening, cellulite reduction, and overall body contouring, giving you a more toned and sculpted look.
How many treatments are given?
Treatments are based on your Body Composition but typically 2-3, thirty-minute treatments a week are given and as we progress the amount of time may decrease or even increase. Over the course of 90-days, you can achieve dramatic reshaping of the body and reduction in cellulite. Based on clinical data, after about 8 sessions, you can lose 1 to 2 dress sizes, about 3500 calories of fat.
When should treatments be stopped?
The standard program is 24 sessions, twice a week for 12 weeks, thus completing a 6-8 inch loss or more over a 12 week period. Treatments should not end once you reach your goal, rather monthly maintenance of one-two sessions, every other week is recommended after to maintain results.
How much rest time between each treatment?
We recommend a 24hr break between treatments to allow the blood fatty acid levels to stabilize after each treatment.
Are results noticeable right away?
It may take one or several sessions to notice results based on your sessions, water intake and consistency in sessions. Patience is key, it took your body time to get this way and your body will need time to get rid of fat. In general, a body fat percentage of 25% or below will respond in 4-6 visits. A higher body fat percentage will require more visits. Two to three treatments a week over four weeks is strongly suggested to see adequate results.
How do inches work?
Millions of fat cells become smaller so inches are reduced off the waist, hips and thighs but inches are harder to notice. This is why we will take pictures after every 6 sessions so you can see the results!
Does this damage fat cells?
The fat cells are not injured in any way by this process.
How does contouring work?
The combined therapy of heat, light, water and vibration completes the process of burning this released energy, resulting in immediate and visible slimming and toning – but only in the areas you want.
Do I need to exercise post treatment?
Yes. It is highly recommended that post treatment exercises are done to speed up the lymphatic system. At Thrivlee you will use the Whole Body Vibration Plate (30Hz) post treatment for 10 minutes in exchange for a workout in the gym to burn off the calories and stimulate the lymphatic system.
Once the fat cells are broken down the contents of the fat cells need a way to exit the body. If they do not exit the body within a few hours, they get reabsorbed by other fat cells.
What are the advantages of LED over invasive processes like liposuction or laser?
The major advantages include no pain, no downtime, instant results-compared to 16 weeks of recovery time for liposuction, no risk of infection, no anesthesia, no scarring, no post-operative numbness or nerve damage, price advantages, no damage to the body including fat cells as opposed to total removal of cells, blood vessels, etc. It is the safest way to sculpt the body.
How does Lipo-Laser compare to the other fat burning lasers being used?
The LED system has a far higher absorption rate as opposed to laser treatment therapy due to the refraction and strength of the beam.
Typically, LED absorbs around 70% compared to laser at around 30%. This gives a much higher chance of better results in inch loss and fat reduction.
How many calories per session are burned?
Clients can expect to lose between 200 to 400 calories on their target area per treatment (equivalent to 30 to 45 mins of fat burning exercise). This circumferential fat loss is highly achievable.
Non-responders are primarily limited to those who experience thyroid dysfunction, anti-inflammatory disorders and/or persons who have other medical conditions that continually work against the laser technology
Will the fat return?
Once the fat has left the body, it can only return through your mouth. As with liposuction, gaining weight by poor eating habits, and exercise habits will replace the fat that was removed. So be aware of what you eating. Eat in moderation, don't get full, eat for nourishment.
Focusing on new eating habits will eliminate the need to diet.
