HOUSTON – Rhonda Morrison is a mother of three teenagers and said, "the pounds coming off just doesn't happen the way it used to and with all the effort I put into working out and with all the effort that I put in just eating right and thinking about my weight, I want to see results."
On this day, she got what she wished for! Just now offered in the states, London and other major cities in the U.K. have been swearing by the Strawberry Laser for years.
"You can see it immediately, and actually yes I did my abdomen and it's a very comfortable treatment," owner of Lumiere Fitness Spa, Chelsea Landow, said.
Lumiere Fitness Spa is one of the only locations we could find to offer the procedure in Houston.
"I've tried these different machines over the years being in this business. Some are very uncomfortable and very expensive, this one is not. You see results right away and you continue to lose for up to 3 days," Landow said.
As a non-invasive treatment, any technician or aesthetician can use the machine.
Here's how she said it works:
"The fat cell is penetrated immediately within six minutes of the beginning of your treatment. So, you have 10 minutes on each area and you then, it's leaked into the lymphatic system," Landow said.
While it's true the lymph nodes are responsible for moving fluids and waste, the theory on whether lasers can force fat to move through the lymphatic system is not proven. Although, the safety of this product has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Landow said the key to real results is working out and drinking water to flush your system, and based on the session with our model, it worked!
"I lost 6.5 inches in twenty minutes," Morrison said. "Just hearing that number makes me feel way more confident."
Lumiere said this makes the procedure great if you need immediate results like: weddings, fitness competitions, etc.
The FDA study only approves use for eight times in one area.
Lumiere said they have people come in eight times for their stomach and then move to other problem areas too like thighs and arms.
