The pads emit heat via laser energy into the treatment area, which reaches the fat cells and damages their membranes. The targeted fat cells die off, and your body then absorbs the dead cells and gets rid of them naturally as waste.

The laser lipo process only takes about a half-hour, depending on the size of the area you’re having treated. You may notice some slight discomfort afterward, but you should be able to return to your normal activities the same day.
