How the Technology Works Body Beautiful Miami uses FDA-approved Warm LED technology, which is one of the few devices to be approved by the FDA for immediate fat loss. Body Beautiful Miami’s Warm LED Red Light Therapy activates the same natural body processes used during diet and exercise, according to Gomer. “Light painlessly passes through the skin layer into the fat layer,” Gomer explains. “The patented wavelength of the LED light causes the fat cells to respond by opening their pores, releasing approximately 25 to 30 percent of their contents in the treated areas. The released fat is then drained from the cell, resulting in an immediate reduction in the fat layer, delivering instantaneous, measurable results across the entire treatment area. The contents of the fat cells are then excreted naturally through your waste. This is the same process the body would undergo naturally after a period of two weeks of diet and heavy exercise.” When asked how their Warm LED compares to other fat loss technologies, Gomer says: “Other popular technologies, such as liposuction, CoolSculpting and EmSculp either remove or freeze and kill fat cells. These technologies are painful, have significant side effects and take 6 to 12 weeks to see results, all with no guaranteed fat loss. Although the concept of killing and removing fat cells sounds appealing, the negative is the impact on your body when you gain weight after the process.” Weight gain can lead to dysmorphic fat accumulation, Gomer says. “New fat has to go somewhere, so your body will store it in nontypical areas. Our Warm LED Red Light Therapy does not kill fat cells, rather it simply drains fat cells without damaging them, eliminating this issue altogether. And it’s completely painless and has zero side effects.” Anti-Aging Benefits As a major bonus, Warm LED Red Light Therapy increases the production of collagen and elastin, helping to tighten skin while it removes fat. It can even be used on the face, per Gomer. “It’s one of the most effective technologies to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.” True Spot Treatment Body Beautiful Miami’s Warm LED therapy treats nearly all “trouble” area for both men and woman, including the hips, thighs, waist, arms, neck and back. According to the Cleveland Clinic, visceral fat is a type of fat that lies deep within your abdominal walls. Too much visceral fat can lead to serious health issues, including diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
