Q. 07. What actually happens to the fat?
A. 07. The fat cells are undamaged; but due to the reaction of the laser light on the cell it will empty the contents. The contents consist of Water, Glycerol and free fatty acids. Following a treatment, the Glycerol is rapidly absorbed by the body. The water carries the free fatty acids, through the lymphatic system, through the kidneys and is then passed out of the body in your urine.
Q. 08. Do I need to exercise during the course of the treatments?
A. 08. Yes. Exercise needs to be performed within 12 hours of each inch loss treatment. Performing exercise after each treatment aids the inch loss process by:
