Lasers can be used in a number of ways to facilitate your weight loss efforts. Here’s a look at the various ways that lasers can be used to help you lose weight.

Types of Laser Weight Loss

Using the same principles as acupuncture, lasers can stimulate the specific points on the body that stimulate weight loss. Some clinics apply a laser to various points on the body and ears called meridian points and auricular points, respectively. This stimulation gives the patient a feeling of well-being which can curb the appetite and make it easier to lose weight. These points are located on the ears, arms, wrist, hand, lower leg, ankle, and feet. This type of laser weight loss helps to stimulate your body's abilities to control the appetite and lose weight.

Laser acupuncture:

A laser can also be used to stimulate the metabolism and therefore boost the body’s ability to burn calories and fat; to decrease the body’s ability to store fat; to increase the circulation and promote calorie burning.

Proponents of this type of laser weight loss claim that it helps us to reduce your appetite by as much as 50%. Depending upon the clinic and the type of treatment selected, you might expect to lose about 2-10 pounds a month. Some practitioners claim that effects of the laser weight loss treatment last for about nine months following treatment.

Laser cellulite reduction:

Laser weight loss through cellulite reduction is another popular type of treatment. Cellulite occurs when the fat cells in the body increase in size and clump together inside the pockets in which they are enclosed. These pockets then stretch upward, straining the skin’s fibers and cutting off the circulation to the area. The result is the formation of cellulite.

Lasers can be used to gently stimulate the circulation in the area and massage the affected tissues. This restores the health of the skin’s natural collagen and helps to remove the toxins and water buildup that have accumulated in the stretched connective tissue. The result is a diminished appearance in cellulite.

What Other Weight Loss Methods Are Available?

Laser weight loss treatments may seem like a quick and painless solution, but the results of these procedures are questionable. The cost is often very high, and in many instances, even if weight loss results were achieved, these results quickly faded a few months after treatment.
