FAQ's
How does red light technology work for fat reduction?
Our patented technology is based on modulating visible red light and infrared light to trick the mitochondria in the nucleus of the fat cell into creating a transitory pore in the cell membrane, allowing the fatty acids and triglycerides to escape into the interstitial space.
Where does the fat go?
The liberated fat cell contents are drained by the lymphatic system and processed by the liver as part of the body's natural detoxification. The pore in the fat cell will close in about 48-72 hours, with the liberated contents expelling in the patient's stool and urine over the next few days. Our technology basically stimulates lipolysis every few days.
How does red light technology work for skin rejuvenation?
The modulated red light boosts intradermal collagen and elastin thus promoting anti-aging benefits. Experience improved skin complexion, tone, and texture, with reduced signs of fine lines, wrinkles, and cellulite.
