Yes. The 2-3 day break allows your body to completely metabolize the maximum amount of released fat cell contents.

Our aim is to see clients as quickly as possible. If you book now you should be able to start your course within 2-3 days, depending on the time of day you require your appointments. After work and weekends are our busiest time. Remember, you must complete and return the intake/consult forms before your first session can be scheduled.

The main difference between the two modalities is the "Mechanism of Action". The LipoLaser uses Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) in the form of a 658nm Diode Laser to cause transitory pores in the adipose (fat) cells, while the Ultrasonic Lipo Cavitation device uses Ultrasound to achieve the same outcome. Both modalities, according to studies, do not destroy the tissue but simply disrupt the cell causing the internal contents to leak: free fatty acids, water & glycerine. Yes this treatment is great for both Abdominal and Love handle area. Some patients see a better reaction with the LipoLaser, others see a better result with the ultrasonic device so it is really how your body reacts to the treatments that best determine what device to continue treatments on.

Please arrive at least 5 minutes prior to your appointment. Because of Shima-Lipo’s popularity Clients arriving 15 minutes late may not be accommodated. We have a 24 hour cancellation policy and a $25.00 no show fee. We do understand , however, that things happen. Please call, text, or email us as soon as you can if you need to reschedule a session.

No, you need to select one body area for each 8 treatment sessions. Stomach, thighs, arms, bingo wings, back, chins, muffin tops, above knees and boobs (male beasts)! After a 2 week break you may schedule another 8 sessions for another area of your body.

No we are nothing like SonoBello. SonoBello uses invasive surgical lipo with an incision, pain and bruising, our technologies are non-invasive, non-surgical with no pain or bruising.

Great question and here is the best answer we can provide based on the information above. First off, fat cells stop duplicating after puberty so there is no "growth" of the cells returning to the body ever with both the lipolaser and traditional lipo. From Puberty onward your Adipose (fat cells) will have the same count. It is only the shrinking and expanding of those cells that occurs throughout ones lifetime. Traditional Liposuction will remove the cells from the problem area. This is done through surgery and yes there will be a reduction in the count of adipose cells in the area treated permanently. The Lipolaser does not destroy the cell, nor does it remove the cell, it simply causes the elements within the cell to purge (glycerine, free fatty acids and water.) thus causing the cell to shrink. We typically see inch loss in the area, however, a healthy lifestyle and diet are also needed to keep it off. Regardless of the choice you go with (lipolaser or traditional lipo / abdominalplasty) both will help attain results in your problem area.

Q--I have excessive fat around my cheek and jaw area. Is there any specific and safe treatment that your team offers to reduce this?A--The lipolaser will assist in this fat loss, however, you may need a surgical solution depending on the severity of the fat. Also, carrying heavy weight in the neck area can increase your chances of stroke significantly and we would encourage you to get on a healthy low glycemic diet plan and detox immediately to jump start the process.

We would need to know what current medications you are on and more about your condition in order to better answer this. The short answer is YES, with two exceptions. If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, Lipo Laser procedures should not be used. Additionally, if you have a pacemaker, this treatment may not be for you. There are no known detrimental risks but potential unknown risks may exist. Lipo sculpture may not be as effective on patients with diabetes or thyroid disorders where the metabolic system is potentially impaired.

No the LipoLaser does not work on Loose Skin. I would suggest a RF (Radio Frequency) treatment. The Lipo Laser is only proven to shrink fat cells and remove fat not to tighten the skin.

Yes, One treatment should yield a result.

If fluid retention is being triggered, the fluid retention will continue. The laser may help temporarily, however, the retention may come back.

As soon as your are done nursing we can schedule you on the laser. We cannot place you on the laser while nursing as it is a contraindication.
