Weight Control with Lasers

We have been helping people to live healthier, longer, and pain free lives since 2004. Our weight loss program is a succession of five treatments spaced over a four to eight week period. Our program works along the same principle as acupuncture but without needles so there is no piercing of the skin. We use a low level laser (also called a cold or therapeutic laser) to stimulate the acupuncture points rather than piercing the skin with needles. The laser is a medical laser, not a surgical laser, so there is no heat or pain. We apply the laser to various points on the body (meridian points) and ears (auricular points). This helps to stimulate your own body's abilities for controlled eating and weight loss.

Applying the laser to various points on the body can facilitate weight loss by giving the person a feeling of well being that suppresses the desire for excessive and inappropriate food. The laser also stimulates metabolism and enables the body to utilize food efficiently instead of storing it as fat.

Diet and exercise are helpful in any program of weight reduction. Most people who come for the laser treatment for weight control have been given diets and exercise regimens before. They may have good knowledge of what they should and shouldn't eat, but they feel depressed or irritable when they try to stay on a diet. The laser should relieve such problems and improve will power.

Laser Concepts of Louisiana offers you a number of different food plans to choose from or you may continue to follow any diet or exercise program you may currently be using. We do not prescribe any drugs or force you to follow any strict diets.

A succession of five laser treatments over a 4–8 week period is recommended initially. If you complete all five treatments, you will get two additional boosters. You may require additional treatments, depending on your desired weight loss goal.

You should expect a weight loss of about two to three pounds in the first week. Weight loss should continue after the treatments are completed until desired weight is achieved. The effects of the laser usually last at least 9 to 10 months following your last treatment. Our clients have successfully shed 10-15 pounds on this regimen.

The areas of the body that we work on are the ears, arms, hand, lower leg, and feet. There is no discomfort and no disrobing. We just ask that you wear loose fitting slacks or shorts so that we can have access to the knee area and also loose fitting or short sleeves so that we can have access to the upper arm area.

The stimulation of certain points helps us to reduce your appetite usually about 30% – 50%. We also help stimulate your metabolism and get it working better for you. We also stimulate acupoints to help take away the cravings for sweets like sugar, chocolate, breads, etc., things you shouldn't be eating while trying to lose weight.

By doing these points we balance your body’s energy or CHI so that you won't eat out of emotions but only when you are really hungry. We will also ask that you try to do some form of exercise and of course eat properly. If you follow a diet or exercise program, the laser with enhance or amplify your results.

NOTE: Before embarking on any weight control program, Laser Concept recommends contacting your physician.
