Lipolaser: cold light, not heat
Our device, a Laserbel LipoLaser designed in Switzerland, carries 288 laser diodes that emit in two wavelength ranges (635 to 650 nm and 940 to 970 nm). It is known as a “cold” laser: it does not heat, cut or burn — the skin feels only a slight warmth, if it feels anything at all.
The principle claimed for this technology: the light makes the membrane of fat cells temporarily more permeable, so that they release part of their content. That content must then be used up by the body — hence the golden rule below.
What happens during a lipolaser session?
Once the area has been measured, you lie down; the diode pads are placed directly on the skin and held in place by soft straps. For 30 minutes per area, you feel almost nothing: many clients read, listen to a podcast or doze off.
No downtime, no redness: you can leave straight away — ideally in trainers, ready to move on to your activity. It is often combined, during the same visit, with the Destructa anti-cellulite treatment.
Results: a course, measurements and consistency
Results are read with a tape measure, from one week to the next, over a course of several closely spaced sessions (often two a week). They depend heavily on your consistency, your activity and your diet: no two people ever respond in the same way.
We would rather tell you frankly: it is a gentle aid, not a magic wand. If the fat to be treated is thicker, cryolipolysis or Ultra Cryo are often more suitable — the assessment decides.
The aesthetic assessment comes first
Every protocol is decided after a free aesthetic assessment: we examine the area, take into account your skin, your aesthetic history and your goal, then give you a quote before any session.
You leave with a clear answer: what is suitable for you, in how many sessions, and at what price. Nothing starts without your agreement.
The golden rule: thirty minutes of activity after the session
Lipolaser does not do the work on its own. The fats released have to be used as energy: we ask you to do 30 minutes of cardio activity (brisk walking, cycling, swimming) in the hours following each session. Without this activity, the result is noticeably weaker — it is the condition we set from the assessment onwards.
This is also why lipolaser has its rightful place in structured programmes such as the Flat Abs package or the Saddlebags package, where each session has its own role.
Who is it for? Situations checked at the assessment
Lipolaser is suited to small, stubborn fat deposits — love handles, lower stomach, hips, inner knees — in people close to their ideal weight and ready to get moving. It is not a treatment for excess weight.
The assessment rules out in particular pregnancy and breastfeeding, a photosensitising treatment, current or recent cancer, or a skin lesion on the area. This list is not exhaustive: the device's instructions and your state of health take precedence.
This is an aesthetic comfort treatment: it does not constitute a medical procedure, a diagnosis or a therapeutic treatment.
Expected results
Waist or thigh measurement reduced over a course of sessions, combined with physical activity.
This is a guide based on averages observed at the institute: results vary depending on skin, age, hormonal profile and how closely the protocol is followed.
Frequently asked questions
Does lipolaser hurt?
No. The diodes do not heat up: most clients feel nothing, sometimes a slight warmth. It is one of the most comfortable body contouring treatments.
Why do I need to exercise afterwards?
Because the fats released have to be used up as energy. Thirty minutes of cardio activity in the hours that follow is part of the protocol: without it, the effect is much smaller.
How many sessions should I plan?
Think in terms of a course of several sessions, often two a week. The exact number is decided at the assessment, depending on the area, the thickness to be treated and your goal.
How is it different from cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis permanently destroys some of the fat cells using cold; lipolaser temporarily empties their content, which then has to be burned off through exercise. Cryolipolysis suits thicker deposits; lipolaser suits finishing touches and active people.
Can several areas be treated on the same day?
Yes, each area requires 30 minutes of application. We organise the session so that the areas follow on without waiting, while keeping the total duration reasonable.
Is it a solution for excess weight?
No. Lipolaser refines specific areas in people close to their ideal weight. In the case of excess weight, medical and nutritional support comes first.
