When you don’t see the weight loss results you want from diet and exercise, it can be frustrating. You can try other options to shed the unwanted pounds, though—without surgery. UltraSlim® light therapy can help you trim excess fat and inches from your body quickly and safely and reach your goals more quickly. Here’s what you should know about this process to see if it’s right for you. 

FAQ About UltraSlim Light Therapy

How does UltraSlim work?

To help you lose weight, cells need to be triggered to release fat in the form of energy. UltraSlim treatments do this by using a patented light that travels through your body’s tissue to stimulate the fat cells into energy release mode. Basically, the light tricks the cells into thinking they are starving, so they release the stored fat as energy, which is then flushed out with the rest of your bodily waste. 

Is UltraSlim painful?

Unlike surgical weight loss options, UltraSlim is not painful, and there is no recovery time. A typical visit takes about an hour and involves the technician holding the light several inches above the target areas for several minutes at a time. The light is warm, but many people find that the experience is quite pleasant and relaxing. 

How much weight can you lose?

UltraSlim light therapy doesn’t measure results in pounds lost but rather measures how many inches you lose from areas such as your belly, thighs, waist, hips, and arms. During your initial consultation, the technician will discuss your goals and how many inches you want to lose and develop a treatment plan that will help you reach those goals. On average, though, you can potentially lose up to 3 inches during the first treatment. Depending on how much you want to transform your body, you may need as many as six or more treatments to melt all of the fat. 

Is UltraSlim permanent?

Unlike some other weight loss alternatives, such as body wraps, UltraSlim results are permanent. It’s also safer than procedures like liposuction, which can have significant side effects, including the development of bumps and bulges around where the fat cells were killed during the procedure. UltraSlim doesn’t kill fat cells and only triggers natural processes to help you lose weight.
