The holiday season is here, and with it comes the opportunity to overindulge in our favorite foods and drinks. Unfortunately, this usually comes with a price – weight gain. The vast majority of us will put on at least a little weight over the festive period, and after it’s all over, we will be wondering about the best way to shift those excess pounds. Most of us know that diet and exercise are a killer combination when it comes to losing weight, but the process is hard! It is also time-consuming, and it can take months of hard work in order to achieve the results that you are looking for. Fortunately, there are alternatives that can help you to get rid of the post-Christmas pounds more quickly and easily. One of the most effective weight loss treatments is red light treatment.

 

What is red light treatment?

Red light treatment is an innovative and modern weight loss solution that combines fat loss with body sculpting. It is entirely non-invasive, with weight loss occurring through the therapeutic effects of the red-light energy that penetrates the body and helps to shrink fat cells. It does this in two ways.

Firstly, red light has been shown to reduce oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress is a key factor in the development of a variety of health problems, including long-term obesity and associated medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Secondly, red light is able to liquefy fat. Lipocytes are special cells within the body that retain energy in the form of fat cells, should we need the excess energy at any point in the future. However, when red light is targeted at the lipocytes, it liquifies the fat contained within them. This fat is then able to be processed out of the body. Since fat cells are a major contributor in our body shape, reducing their size by eliminating the fat contained within them makes red light treatment a body sculpting treatment as well as a tool for weight loss.

 

How long do the effects of red-light treatment last?

Red light treatment helps to reduce the fat from the liposcytes within the targeted areas. This causes the fat cells to shrink and the overall size of your body to reduce. Fat cells cannot regenerate, but they can grow larger again, and if you were to regain weight by not being careful about what you eat and drink, the effects of any treatment could be reversed. However, if you maintain your weight by following a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, there is no reason you can’t sustain the effects of your treatment for the long term.

 

How successful is red light treatment?

Red light treatment has been found to be extremely successful in helping patients to lose weight and see an improvement in their body shape. Studies have shown that just a single red-light treatment can produce a similar weight loss effect that is equivalent to around SEVEN 30-minute cardio workouts. This makes the treatment ideal for those patients who find physical exercise difficult.
