FAQs
What can I expect during a Sculpt and Glow Spa Red Light Therapy procedure?
During the procedure, you will be placed lying down on a treatment table. Special pads will be positioned in strategic places on your body as you simply enjoy a relaxing 20 minute session. Most people describe it as being wrapped up in a warm blanket.
How does Red Light Therapy work?
The unique light emitted from a Red Light Therapy system causes the fat cell membranes to temporarily alter the permeability of the cell wall. This brief change allows some of the fat contents to seep out to where it can the be processed by the body.
What happens to the fat?
After being released, the fat is broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol and the contents are taken to the liver by the lymphatic system. Here the contents are either used or quickly eliminated by the body.
What areas of the body can be treated with Red Light Therapy?
The treatment can be effectively used on essentially every part of the body where localized fat deposits exist that are resistant to diet and exercise. This includes the waist, hips, legs, thighs and upper arms.
What risks or side effects are involved?
There are no known risks or side effects involved in using Red Light Therapy. It is considered a safe alternative to invasive procedures such as traditional liposuction. Red Light Therapy is 100% non-invasive and does not cause any bruising or scarring. Red Light Therapy includes Red Light and Near-Infrared Light only, it does NOT include UV light (which in excess is linked with skin cancer).
Do I have to follow a diet?
No, you do not have to follow a specific diet. However, you can expect the best results if you reduce your caloric intake and somewhat increase water consumption. Meanwhile, reducing alcohol and soda consumption will also help.
Do I have to exercise?
