​The unique light emitted from a red light therapy system causes the fat cell membranes to temporarily alter the permeability of the cell wall. This brief change allows some of the fat contents to seep out to where it can then be processed by the body.

​After being released, the fat is broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol and the contents are taken to liver by the lymphatic system. Here the contents are either used or quickly eliminated by the body.

The treatment can be effectively used on essentially every part of the body where localized fat deposits exist that are resistant to diet and exercise. This includes the waist, hips, upper legs, thighs and upper arms.​

There are no known risks or side effects involved in using red light therapy. It is considered a safe alternative to invasive procedures such as traditional liposuction. Red Light treatment is 100% non-invasive and does not cause any bruising or scarring.

Red Light therapy is cleared by Food and Drug Administration.
