Indication:
Cellulite
Fat reduction
Mechanism of action
Cellulite
A combination of photonic and kinetic energy. Green light therapy combined with the kinetic energy of an impact massager component, followed by use of compression garments.
Fat reduction
Photobiomodulation, green light energy that disrupts the the fat cell membranes, developing pores allowing the fatty contents to escape from the fat cell.
How it works
Cellulite
The green light therapy stimulates lipolysis by penetrating into the subcutaneous fat cell layer, creating openings in the fat cell membrane, and the fat is immediately released from the fat cell resulting in immediate reduction in the fat cell size. The massager component is used to loosen and break down the fibrous bands.
Fat reduction
The green light therapy stimulates lipolysis by penetrating into the subcutaneous fat cell layer, creating openings in the fat cell membrane, and the fat is immediately released from the fat cell resulting in immediate reduction in the fat cell size.
FDA Cleared
