I-Lipo Laser fat reduction
encourages healthy living
Dr G Jilani of The Island Cosmetic Clinic, Wootton

The Island Cosmetic Clinic
introduced a new Laser fat
reduction treatment, I Lipo in
November 2010.
Dr. G Jilani, Medical Director
at the clinic, undertook a lot of
research on this treatment and has
been delighted with the results,
and the positive healthy effect it is
having on people, both men and
women.
So how does it work?
Dr. Jilani explained: “If someone
is on a calorie controlled diet and
their intake of food is reduced,
the brain sends a signal to the fat
cells, the Triglycerides which is fat
and sugar contained in the cells is
separated and the pores of the fat
cells open to release the contents
into the bloodstream. The person
then uses this energy, so this is how
fat is used up.
“With I Lipo we are not reducing
the client’s intake of food, and the
Lasers send the same signal to the
fat cells, so they empty. The client
however has to perform approx 30
minutes cardiovascular exercise to
burn off the energy that has been
released. The fantastic thing about
this treatment is that you can
choose where you want to lose the
fat from.”
Clients undergoing this treatment

are advised to eat healthily, so as
not to refill the fat cells. Unlike
liposuction, I Lipo does not destroy
the fat cells but simply shrinks
and empties them, so they can
function again. This is far safer than
liposuction, as fat can accumulate
in other areas and even around the
organs.
Clients who have had this
treatment have not only seen great
results but have now started to get
into the habit of regularly exercising
and eating healthier to maintain the
look achieved.
“Often clients have lost weight by
following an exercise regime, but

cannot lose fat on those stubborn
areas even after intense exercise. I
Lipo itself is used for inch loss and
body shaping rather than weight
loss; it contours and reduces fat in
stubborn areas but cannot be used
to treat obesity.
“We have achieved over 90
percent satisfaction rate with this
treatment”, says Dr Jilani, “and
about half of the clients who had
the treatment never used to exercise,
but now exercise regularly and
eat healthier. This has given them
greater self-esteem and confidence,
because they have been part of their
achievement”.
