i-Lipo and Lipo-Light
Pre/Post Treatment Instructions:
- Avoid eating two
hours before and after treatment sessions
- Avoid heavy
meals on the treatment days
- Drink plenty of
water to facilitate lymphatic drainage
- Limit carbonated
drinks, coffee, and tea during treatment period
- Avoid fasting or
the body will go into “starvation mode” and become more resistant to the
release of stored fat
- Within the two
hours following a treatment, the client MUST perform 30-45 minutes of cardio-vascular
work-out in order to create the energy demand that will facilitate metabolism
of the fatty acids and glycerol freed from the fat cells
- Consider
contraindications or other medical issues that may impact the results of this
“one off” treatment. Some medical disorders that may reduce first treatment
response include thyroid, immune, lymphatic related conditions, pre-menopause,
menopause, diabetes, and infection (including viral)
- Wear clothing
that will facilitate the laser pad placement in the treatment areas
Possible
Side Effects:
- Diarrhea: when fat is successfully
broken down, it must exit the body as stool. You may or may not notice an increase
in bowel movements. Typically, diarrhea is mild and lasts no longer than 36
hours.
- Increased urination: loss of water from your
tissues is normal following i-Lipo and is a good sign that you are removing fat
from your body. Fat enters the blood from the lymphatic system, increasing the
“thickness” of the blood (oncotic pressure), and pulling water from tissues to
carry the fat to the bowel for removal.
- Flu-like symptoms: this is rare, but can occur due to toxins in the
fat being removed via the lymphatic system, causing congestion. Congested lymph
pathways can lead to aches, pains, water retention, soreness, and flu-like
symptoms. To combat this, lymph node stimulators and a whole-body vibration
plate session are used during the treatment to increase lymphatic drainage.
- Increased Hunger: this is the body’s
attempt at returning to normal by re-accumulating fat. Do not increase food
consumption! Follow a low carb, high protein, high fiber diet to combat hunger
pains.
