Tutera Medical is one of the first and only providers in Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix area to offer this innovative treatment. In this article, the natural health and wellness experts at Tutera Medical answer our patients’ Frequently Asked Questions about Contour Light reduces fat and inches using only natural, light-based energy.
How does Contour Light reduce fat?
Contour Light uses LED and near infrared light to cause the fat cells to “open up” the cell wall, resulting in a release of the contents of the cell – including fatty acids, glycerol, water, and triglycerides (a type of fat/lipid found in the blood).
The fat cells then deflate, much like a balloon that is emptied of air. As a result, the fat cells shrink revealing noticeable results and inch loss immediately. Contour Light also accelerates the body’s fat burning processes and speeds up the metabolism.
Where can Contour Light reduce fat?
Contour Light is effective on areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. The Contour Light System is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that can be used to reduce the circumference of the waist, hips, inner and outer thighs, arms, neck, back, breasts, chin/face, and virtually anywhere you have unwanted, excess fat.
While dieting and exercise cannot “spot reduce” stubborn pockets of fat, Contour Light CAN target specific areas of fat (such as the belly) while not taking away volume from areas where you want it (like the breast or buttocks).
Contour Light is the only pad-based device that has achieved FDA clearance for circumferential reduction and inch loss. In an Institutional Review Boards (IRB) approved clinical study of 118 patients, participants experienced an average loss of 2.49 inches per single Contour Light session.
How does Contour Light rejuvenate skin?
Collagen is the protein building block of thick, toned, smooth, elastic skin. But as we age, the body’s collagen production decreases every year. This causes skin laxity, lines, and wrinkles. Contour Light stimulates the body’s production of collagen.
Contour Light tightens facial, chin and neck skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging jawline.
What else can Contour Light be used for?
Contour Light is also FDA cleared for the relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis, muscle spasms, and body stiffness.
Is Contour Light a laser?
No. Contour Light is “LLLT” which stands for Low Level Light Therapy. This is very different from medical or aesthetic laser treatments because the energy it emits is much lower – making it safer than lasers as well as a much more comfortable treatment. LLLT’s effects on the patient’s body are gentle and gradual, as compared with a medical or aesthetic laser that delivers a painful immediate response.
What does Contour Light feel like?
The patient lies on a comfortable treatment bed while pads are placed over the treatment area. The patient will feel a slight warming sensation, but there is no pain or discomfort. Most patients read, use their phone or even take a short nap.
How long do Contour Light results last?
Every patient is different, and the longevity of results can vary from patient to patient – based on age, heredity, lifestyle and more. However, patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle, good diet and regular activity that promotes weight control can achieve long-lasting results.
Is Contour Light treatment safe?
Very! The light emitted by the Contour Light does not generate excessive heat so it cannot cause a burn. The light itself is quite bright, so protective goggles will be supplied, but is much safer than a laser device that can damage eyes with the beam.
Contour Light has achieved FDA clearance for circumferential reduction and inch loss, as well as skin rejuvenation. And because it is 100% non-invasive and non-ablative (leaves skin intact) there is no risk of side effects, such as infection, scarring.
Unlike many lasers, Contour Light is safe for every skin color – even darker skin tones. However, Contour Light is not suitable for patients with medical condition that reduce their ability to eliminate waste via the liver and kidneys.
How many Contour Light treatments will I need?
Every patient is different – so the optimal number of treatments will depend on each patient’s ‘starting point’ in terms of skin condition, amount of unwanted fat, location of the problem areas, age, heredity, lifestyle and more.
However, for most patients, the recommended Contour Light treatment protocol involves 10 treatments, delivered every other day or every 3 days.
Patients typically see some as early as the 1st treatment, with more noticeable improvement within the first 2 or 3 treatments. The series of 10 treatments addresses most patient’s expectations – but some patients are so thrilled with the results that they choose to continue with additional treatments.
