Weight Loss Treatments at Indigo MedSpa

Everyone knows that a successful weight loss program includes a sensible, healthy diet and exercise. Yet there are some people who follow a healthy diet and exercise program who still can't seem to lose weight, and this may be because they have a less than optimum metabolism and the ability to suppress their appetite.


Indigo MedSpa offers Cold (low-level) Laser Treatments for Weight Management, which is the perfect adjunct to a healthy diet and exercise program, to get your metabolism at a level that burns calories optimally and helps suppress your appetite.

Here are some FAQs about Cold Laser for Weight Management:

How many Laser Treatments are necessary?
We recommend six treatments, 7 to10 days apart. Appetite suppression should carry you through until your next appointment. Metabolism boosting builds, one appointment on top of another, until your metabolism is at optimal level.

How long is the Laser Treatment?
The treatment itself takes approximately 30 minutes. There is a brief consultation before each treatment and instruction period at the end of the treatment. You should allow for a total of one hour for your appointment.

How does the Laser Treatment affect you?
Although it is a little different for everyone, the only thing you feel is relaxed. Some people may feel a little light headed, but this passes very quickly. Your appetite should be suppressed immediately. The physical cravings for food will be reduced, but you must eat. This is designed to help you start eating smaller portions more frequently.

Where do you apply the Laser?
The laser is applied to the ears, face, hands, wrists and arms for the weight loss treatment.

How does the Laser work?
When the beam of the laser is applied to certain acupuncture points it is absorbed through the skin and biochemically stimulates the cells to boost endorphins that help block out the cravings, boost metabolism and help give you a feeling of well being.

Does the Treatment affect someone on medication?
You will be asked if you are taking any photosensitive medications.

I have never heard of this Treatment. How long has it been around?
The treatment originated in Europe approximately 40 years ago. It has been in Canada for about 18 years and the United States since 2001.
