Anyone had Strawberry Laser Lipo?

I'm a fourth type of person to read this thread. I don't want to lose weight. I'm a size 10-12, and happy with it. I'm just chronically curious - about most things!

You failed to mention in those four posts that "Lighter You" or whatever it is called is your own business, however you do mention it in your two other spam posts so I'll let you off.

OK, OK it's always easier to believe what we want to believe and to ignore some good sense when it doesn't go in the way we want. It's human and these people out thereselling some magic treatment know that very well and are exploting that in a very clever way.

It's cheap, easy quick painful and with so many promises... but still they say that it doesn't work for everyone but that there is a big pourcentage of success.. who control these numbers. Are they giving you all the phone numbers of the successful customers to double check? If it was working, you would see that on TV and everyone would fight to announce the news.

So please read the following and you will understand why this can't work :

The laser used in this machine, is a 635 nm wavelength diode - the very same laser that is commonly used in many hand-held battery-powered laser pointers. According to the manufacturer's website, the laser power is listed variably in different parts of the webpage, between 7.5 milliwatts and 14 milliwatts, which again is only slightly more than the typical 5 milliwatt laser pointer. (By way of comparison, most lasers used for ablative skin resurfacing treatments are in the neighborhood of 30 watts or more, or four-thousand times more powerful.) Thus, this new machine falls into the category of "low-level laser therapy".

The FDA has approved this device - in the same category as an infra-red heating lamp - according to the FDA's own 510(k) document posted on the laser manufacturer's website. N.B: it's not currently approved as a fat melter.

Neira and associates have been enthusiastically promoting the use of low level lasers to help with liposuction for several years. They claim that use of this type of laser leads to a deflation effect on the individual fat cells, resulting in the contouring effect.

This claim is certainly controversial. A study published in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, performed by the well-respected Plastic Surgery & laser group of Brown, Rohrich, Kenkel, Young and associates at UTSW, carefully duplicated the Neira protocol for laser fat treatment. However, they found no appreciable difference with this laser treatment, comparing the fat before and after treatment under a scanning electron microscope. Zip. Zilch. Nada. There was no effect whatsoever on the fat in the treated area, and certainly no evidence of any fat-cell deflation

I have no personal experience with this machine, and while I would love to have a non-invasive method to treat fat, the physics of the device make it hard to believe that the beam could possibly penetrate through the skin down to the underlying fat with enough energy to do anything.

To me, it seems like waving a laser pointer over the skin, and somehow expecting the fat to magically disappear. Caveat emptor.

Brilliant post. :T

It seems however that people will continue to hand over money for 'treatments' which theoretically cannot work and have mountains of evidence proving that they don't work, just look at the homoeopathy industry. :mad:

I have had 7 of 8 treatments, as that is what they recommend, I havent noticed a difference apart from being £510 lighter in my bank account. I got measured before my first treatment and after it, but the difference was the lady told me to hold my arms up for the second measuring as if I didnt know what she was doing and when I mentioned it she pulled the tape measure slightly tight form before and way hey I appently lost an inch, amazing. Not really, I decided to give her the benifit of the doubt and carry on witht the rest of my treatments. I had a different lady measure me and after the 5th treatment, I said I wasnt happy, and funny old thing they said I must have not been doing any exercise. My advise use your money to get a personal trainer instead.
