We sent Robin ForemanQuercus to check out a new
revolutionary fat-loss
treatment, hailed as the nonsurgical lunch-time lipo.
!
LOVELITE’S LIPOGLAZE is a
revolutionary non-invasive fatreduction procedure that is new to
the UK, although it has been
around in the US for several years.
!
The procedure gently heats up and
then cryogenically freezes stubborn
fatty deposits, permanently
destroying the fat cells. The body
then naturally eliminates this waste
tissue over the next few weeks. They
claim to remove around 26% of fat
cells in the specified region per
treatment.
Lipoglaze can be taken as a single
session or, if there are several
problem areas, can be conducted as
a set of treatments, although
LoveLite recommend keeping
sessions at least a week apart to
give the body time to metabolise the
dead fat cells.
!
Lipoglaze is approved by the FDA
and studies have shown it to be not
only more advanced than
liposuction, but also better than
