8 Pad I-Lipo, the latest laser lipolysis, has truly revolutionised the way to shape the body, lose unwanted fat ,achieve inch loss and body contouring with no pain, no needles and no down time. The i-lipo uses photobiomodulation to trigger the body’s natural processes which release the contents stored in adipose cells. On a day-to-day basis the human body is constantly storing excess calorie intake from the diet into adipose tissue for future use. Energy from the diet is stored in the adipose cells as bulky un-reactive molecules called triglycerides. Triglycerides are not directly used by the body’s metabolic pathways to create energy; instead they have to be converted into usable ‘fuel’. The alteration in the cell chemistry created by i-lipo triggers the release of a lipase enzyme which can break the large triglyceride molecules down into fatty acids and glycerol-molecules which are now small enough to exit the cell through the pores and are the required fuel for metabolism. Once the cell contents are evacuated into the surrounding interstitial tissue, they are picked up by the lymphatic system for transport to the tissues of the body for use. I-lipo maximizes lymphatic flow by stimulating the lymphatic nodes nearest the treatment area with additional low level lasers. Exercise after treatment creates a demand for energy within the body – a demand that can now be met by the newly released fatty acids and glycerol removing them from the bodies fat storage system. When required, signals from the brain result in the contents of cells being released and the contents are then metabolized to provide energy to the bodies’ tissues. In essence the adipose cells are acting as rechargeable batteries, sometimes being charged up and sometimes being used depleted depending on a person’s diet and exercise. When we exercise we create a demand for extra energy in the bodies’ tissues and normally the body responds by releasi

I'll show you some pressure points you can use at home, if this is appropriate for you.

Combined with acupuncture treatment

Asa Five element acupuncturist I tend to practice a light style of needling that is closer to the Japanese style than the Chinese. I studied at one of the oldest acupuncture colleges in Europe, under some of the most respectedpractitioners in the country. I use the five elements to help me interpret diagnostically the vibrations of energy observed in a patient.

Used for musculoskeltal issues. It's called that because western medics wanted to emphasis that nothing was injected into the body, but of course all acupuncture is dry needling
