The ERCHONIA® Laser Scanner is specially designed for use during Liposuction and non-invasive body contouring (Body By Laser™). The laser is applied externally and has proven through double blind clinical trials to emulsify adipose tissue.

Body By Laser™ is a new body-sculpting procedure designed to remove fat and contour the body without invasive surgery.
Body By Laser™ unlike other procedures allows the patient to continue their daily activities without interruptions from surgery, pain, or wounds.
Body By Laser™ works by utilizing the Erchonia® LipoLASER™ (FDA market cleared for laser assisted liposuction) to emulsify adipose tissue which then releases into the interstitial space. The excess fat is passed through the body during its normal course of detoxification.

The Body By Laser™ procedure was proven through a double blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo controlled study in which patients averaged a loss of 3.5 inches, and some lost up to as much as 9 inches compared to the placebo group that lost only a half an inch.

About the Procedure: During the procedure patients most often do not feel anything, the laser that is being administered is a low level laser that does not produce heat, it is completely noninvasive, and has never shown any recorded side effects.

Low Level Lasers have been in use for over 40 years for treatment of many different conditions such as chronic pain, wound healing, and many other orthopedic conditions.

About the Protocol: Treatment takes 40 minutes and needs to be administered three times a week for two weeks for best results. The laser will be applied over the targeted area i.e.…waist, hips, and thighs for 20 minutes and then the patient will turn over and do the same treatment on the opposite side. This should be a minimum, for maximum results consult your physician about doing more than one two week session.

What to Expect: After completion of the two week protocol clinical trials resulted in an average of 3.5 inches lost; and some patient's losing up to as much as 9 inches. As with any procedure results will vary and may be more dramatic from one patient to the next. This is not a quick weight loss program—we are targeting the adipose tissue and are not taking off excess water weight. We are removing the excess fat to successfully shape the body for a more desirable outcome.

Think of the last time your waist was 2-3 inches smaller, your hips had that natural curve, and your thighs were thinner. With the Body By Laser™ treatment you now have an alternative to a shapelier figure without having to endure the fear, and sometimes painful process of a surgical procedure.

This stunning series of photographs below impressively demonstrates low-level-lasers ability to emulsify adipose tissue. The pictures reveal the collapse of the rigid adipose cell and the secretion of triglycerides and fatty acids. These remarkable imagines immediately reveal why laser-assisted liposuction can serve as a great benefit for the physician and the patient.

  

Frequently Asked Questions about the Body By Laser™ Laser Treatments

What is the Body By Laser™ laser and what will it do?
The Body By Laser™ produces a low-level or cold laser light that has no thermal effect on the body's tissue. Excess fat is removed naturally by the body without the negative side effects and downtime associated with more invasive procedures such as liposuction. The patient is given nutrients according to testing and evaluation of the NUTRI-WEST NUTRITION e.g. Total Trim, Niacin B6, Core Level Lymph, to name a few.

How does the Body By Laser™ laser work ?
The low level light therapy emitted by the Body By Laser™ laser causes the fat contained in the fat cell to liquefy. The laser causes a transitory pore in the fat cell membrane to open, allowing the liquefied fat to leave the cell and accumulate in the interstitial space around the cells. There is no damage to the cell membrane since fat is expelled through this transitory pore. Once the fat is in the interstitial space, it is naturally removed by the body through the lymphatic system. Of course this is where Nutri-West Core Level Lymph, the Adjustor, and the Adjustment along with the Percussor shine brightly.

How much can I expect to lose?
Everyone is different and so results will vary. The success of the treatments depends on your body's ability to detoxify emulsified cellular debris. Therefore, not all patients will obtain the same outcome at the end of the two-week therapy. In double-blind, randomized, multi-site, placebo-controlled clinical trials that tracked the circumferences of patient's hips, waist and thighs, the average total loss was 5 to 6 inches, up to a maximum of 9.5 inches, compared to a placebo group that only lost a half inch.

Who can receive treatment?
You may not be a good candidate for the Body By Laser™ laser treatments simply because you want to lose weight. Our doctors will examine your spine and musculoskeletal system and determine if weight loss will improve your health. If they determine that your spine and musculoskeletal system will benefit from weight loss and fat detoxification resulting from the Body By Laser™ laser treatments, the doctor will determine a treatment and nutritional protocol that is best for your body.

Are there any risks?
There are no known risks associated with low-level laser therapy. This treatment causes no discomfort before or after the treatment.

Is the procedure painful?
Body By Laser™ is painless and requires no surgery, no anesthesia, no needles, no recovery, no healing, and no downtime.

What will the treatment be?
Typically, you will receive six 40-minute laser treatments during a one to two-week period. Additionally, you will receive two chiropractic treatments to prepare your body for the laser treatments for optimal results. To better enable your lymph system to detoxify the excess fat from your body, you will also receive detoxifying foot baths.

Will the Body By Laser™ laser get rid of cellulite?
The Body By Laser™ laser reduces contours due to excess fat, not cellulite. Some added deep tissue and myofacial massage may be required to help with the breakdown of cellulite.

Will the fat deposit "elsewhere?"
Fat removed by the Body By Laser™ is metabolized and removed by the body. There is no evidence that this fat deposits elsewhere.

Can the fat return?
The Body By Laser™ laser itself does not remove the fat cells from the body. The fat loss that occurs is similar to fat lost after diet and/or exercises and in that sense may not be permanent without proper lifestyle changes. Poor diet and exercise habits may undo the results and the fat cells may begin to retain fat again. So lifestyle, dietary and supportive therapy is the best answer.

When can I expect to see the results?
Sometimes results are seen almost immediately. Typically the results are seen about one week after completion of your Body By Laser™ laser treatment. However, some individuals do not experience weight loss at all.

Why did you take my measurements?
To be able to gauge your progress, we take your measurements before you begin the procedure, during the two-week treatment period, and then once again two weeks after the treatment is completed. Even if you are just targeting one area of your body, we still take your full measurements because other non-targeted areas are often affected by the treatments.
