FAQs

Yes, you certainly can do that. In fact the RLR/invisaRed programs are designed to be a vital part of your comprehensive move toward better health.

Yes, perhaps the best studied is Calocurb which was developed by the government of New Zealand. We suggest that you increase the dose much more slowly than what is written on the bottle, as the side effects of nausea and reflux can be similar to the GLP and related drugs. Use only the minimum effective dose. Consult your primary care doctor and the Calocurb company for personalized advice.

Exercise is always a wonderful way to increase your overall health. It lowers chronic disease risk in many areas from dementia and diabetes to obesity and vascular disease. There is early evidence that it even slows the aging process by a hormesis effect. It is ideal to increase your resistance exercise and aerobic exercise incrementally with all Fat Loss or cosmetic programs.

Hormesis is a word to indicate the concept of stressing the biologic system and allowing the healing and homeostatic mechanisms built into that biologic system to repair and rejuvenate to an even better level than it was previously. There are many stressors that can be used. For example, going to a high altitude with lower oxygen, exercising that makes the muscles sore briefly, even a sauna may be such a stressor. Such stressors must be carefully balanced as too much is damaging and the body will not recover to a better state. Always get advice from your primary care doctor before attempting things of this nature.

These wavelengths penetrate into the subcutaneous fat tissues below the epidermis (skin) where they are absorbed by enzymes inside the mitochondria. Cytochrome c is one of the primary enzymes being activated by the photons. Nitrous oxide is displaced which increases enzyme oxygen consumption. That increases energy production via ATP (Adenosine triphosphate a common cellular energy molecule). This also leads to increased cyclic AMP (cAMP) which activates proteinkinase A and hormone sensitive lipase which then breakdown fat for use as mitochondrial fuel or to be excreted into the veinous bloodstream or the lymphatic system.

No, it is painless with no downtime. The only real caveat being no photosensitive diseases, medications, or supplements should be used.

No, the process does not kill fat cells. Nor does it damage the stem cells that are in the fatty tissues.

Yes, if you have not stored stem cells for later use when you were young you should at least give it a thought. If you are older and already thinking about losing weight to reduce pains of one kind or another it might be more of a consideration as stem cells might be needed for those issues.

The fat burning and detoxification effects should last four hours or more. The skin tightening and collagen production is a slower process and can continue for at least 2 and perhaps 4 months.

Surprisingly while there are some of those effects going on the actual mechanisms are different and spread over a much longer time period.

While the mechanisms involved in the fat loss are still active, the mitochondrial stimulation, There is an additional mechanism when the computer has settings for skin tightening. The deposition of light energy in the skin and subcutaneous tissues also causes heating which causes an increase in fibroblast cellular metabolism making them produce more collagen and elastin. This protein production might have been decreased due to aging or other processes. The metabolic boost lasts several hours but the improvement in collagen and elastin production will last two to four months especially with repeated sessions. That is why this is a long-term slow improvement process.

While both the fat loss and skin tightening mechanisms are operating in this process it is the penetration into the deeper layers, up to 44mm (approximately 1.7 inches), that initiates the repair of the tissues. There is also a detoxification and drainage effect similar to in the fat reduction treatments. Similar to the skin tightening the beneficial improvement continue for weeks to months after treatment.

Yes. This is a complex problem and the laser address part of the issues. But your laser technician may want you to take hyaluronic acid supplements or collagen supplements for 9 to 12 months as well. Hormone optimization is very important especially around menopause. RLR recommends you seek out a specialist if your primary care doctor is uncomfortable helping with this issue. Be extraordinarily careful to pick a good practitioner in this area.

Unfortunately, no as the higher wavelengths are unlikely to penetrate properly to stimulate fat loss as well as the longer wavelength red and infrared photons. Thus, they do not directly reach the active site.

This machine does work. It does kill fat cells and stem cells thus helping with fat and fat spot reduction. It can be painful and cause bruising and redness. Occasionally there is paradoxical hyperplasia of the fat tissue in the area targeted. Be sure to discuss that risk with your practitioner. It is for that reason we do not recommend this machine.

This machine does work. It is best for a person who does not need too much fat reduction along with the skin tightening. A person who can put up with the muscle soreness, (mildly painful procedure), needs results quickly, and often can pay a slightly higher price. Examples might be a person like a model, a body builder, or regular person who is in similar physical condition or only with somewhat more subcutaneous fat than such a person.

The idea of the vibration board is to enhance the veinous and lymphatic circulations so as to help the body excrete liberated fats and toxins decreasing the chance that they will stay within the body.

It is strongly recommended that everyone who is able to do so use it. There are some groups, for example those with significant balance issues, significant neck or back issues who should not use it. They are encouraged to walk about as much as they are able to tolerate during the first hour after treatment to encourage that increase in veinous and lymphatic circulation.

This is recommended to make it easier for the body to excrete substances, both the released lipid and the potential lipid soluble toxins.

Everyone who is able to do so will get better results if they do, so yes. However, there are people who are on fluid restrictions such as renal failure or heart failure patients. They should follow their fluid restrictions as prescribed by their physicians. For many such patients laser therapy is contraindicated. They could use the non-laser portion of the fat loss protocol if they choose to do so.
