Over the years, numerous studies have been carried out around the world, which demonstrate that low level lasers are both safe to use on the body, and even help the body's ability to heal. For this reason, there are many healing lamp devices approved by the FDA.

The specific output settings used for inch loss, means that the red lasers penetrate between 9 and 13 mm into the skin. At this depth the lasers make contact with the fat cells (adipocyte) and a rapid chain of events occurs. Firstly, pores form on the cells allowing them to spill out. The water, glycerol and free fatty acids exit the cell and move into the interstitial space beneath the fatty layer in the skin. The adipocyte cells reduce in size as a result.

Due to the fact that the procedure only penetrates up to 13 mm, the cells are only emptied and not harmed or destroyed, leaving the unwanted free fatty acids within the interstitial space or lymphatic system. This means that it is necessary for the patient to carry out a limited amount of cardiovascular exercise to burn off the released fat. If this is not done, post treatment, the fat will return to the emptied adipocyte cells.

Once the treatment has been carried out and a minimum of 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise has been completed, the fat will exit the body via the liver and kidneys as part of the normal bodily process. To retain the amazing results, it is important to sustain a sensible diet and carry out some form of exercise.
