Many of us are plagued by stubborn pockets of fat that will not leave no matter how much we diet and exercise.

The treatment process itself is designed to be relaxing. You can recline comfortably while the treatment pads do the hard work. While some people may see results after just one treatment, laser lipo is something that generally works better with multiple sessions.
