Nonsurgical Fat Reduction

Refresh Slim utilizes clinically proven 635nm wavelength light to shrink fat. It is ideal for noninvasive spot reduction without pain. It uses Focused Light Technology to help naturally slim, shape and tone areas including the waist, hips, thighs and upper arms.

The heat and unique wavelength (635nm) of the light stimulates fat cells to release energy that is then easily metabolized. The process is similar to when your body enters the “fat burning” stage of a good cardiovascular workout.

The Refresh Slim Body Sculpting system is a state-of-the-art body slimming treatment that can tighten, tone, and flatten treated areas in a very short period of time. Individuals have lost anywhere from two (2) inches to eighteen (18) inches over the course of a series of treatments. To maximize the chances of every client responding as significantly or better, three things are important to consider:

1. As a general rule, sick clients should not be treated, and will not be treated. It’s best to wait until the condition has improved before starting your treatments again. Clients who have any of the conditions listed in the contraindications document will be disqualified for treatment.
2. Hydration is critical. You must drink water (at least 8 glasses of 8 oz. of water) throughout the day. Diuretics (coffee, alcohol, etc.) are discouraged.
3. The lymphatic system should be mobilized. You must be active and burn 350 calories every day during your choice of cardio exercise while doing Pure Light.

* Individual results may vary and are not guaranteed.

Approximately 350 calories of pure fat are liberated into triglycerides which are broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol enter the blood stream. Once in the blood stream,  the free fatty acids are readily available to be used as fuel by the body.

Results can be seen immediately. Individuals have lost anywhere from two (2) inches to eighteen (18) inches over the course of a series of treatments. Most clients begin to really see the results of the Refresh Slim Body Sculpting system after about the 4th or 5th treatment. It must be noted that clients must follow protocol to achieve the best results with this treatment. * Individual results may vary and are not guaranteed.

Water. Water. Water.

• Consume at least 64 oz. of water daily to flush the fats from your system. Drink at least 1/2 of this amount before each session.
• The light is attracted to well hydrated cells, drinking at least 1 liter before each treatment will increase metabolism and help flush these toxins and fats from your body.

Consistency is Key.

• Ideal results are achieved with 2 sessions per week. An accelerated program could be as frequent as 1 week daily, then 3 times per week.

Avoid ALL Caffeine, if Possible.

• One (1) cup of coffee in the morning, max. If drinking coffee, be sure to add an additional two (2) cups of water (16 oz.) for every cup of coffee!
• Only drink the caffeine you need in the morning to avoid the “caffeine headache”.

No Alcohol!

• This is a diuretic and it’s critical to stay hydrated during this treatment program.
• Alcohol is processed as a fat through the liver, which restricts the body’s ability to process the new liberated fat. Alcohol also contains tons of calories and it conflicts with a low calorie diet and furthermore dehydrated the body, lessening your results.

Workout!

• Regular cardio exercise is needed. At minimum, be sure to get in 10-15 minutes of brisk walking per day.
• Burning at least 300 calories within 6 hours following your treatment will burn the fat exactly where you want it to!

Supplements are Good!

• Specific, targeted, clean, nutritional supplements will be recommended which might include: Belly Be Gone, Fat Burner, Specific probiotics, unique formulated protein drink, and certain fatty acids that stoke your bodies metabolism.

Compression Garments.

• Wearing spanx, or something comparable for up to 12 hours after treatment is highly recommended as they help squeeze the fat cells to reduce overall size.

Low Fat Diet.

• A proper, low fat diet is key to every healthy lifestyle. But, during this treatment your body will be intentionally & forcefully purging all of the fat that you wish to rid yourself of, so why would you intentionally put more back in it?
• During each session openings will form in your fat cells to allow the unhealthy fatty contents to drain from each cell. If you consume high amounts of fat these openings will allow for easy entry back into the cells. Therefore, eating a low fat diet during this time is crucial!

The Refresh Slim Body Sculpting system is essentially painless and relaxing, which is why clients love in coming into Refresh Rejuvenation Spa & Salon for their treatments! You can expect to feel a gentle, warm sensation on the treated areas. Most individuals read, relax, or even take a power nap during the fifteen minute treatment.

Refresh Slim utilizes  the most powerful LED technology in the industry comprised of eight (8) large pads. Each pad has ten super bright light emitting diodes — more diodes than any other system available on the market today. The pads each emit 2.4 watts. Refresh Slim  Body Contouring system as a whole emits over 16 watts which is nearly four times stronger than any other competitive body slimming technology! Our powerful wattage yields a shorter treatment time with deeper penetration, so overall we are quite confident that we offer the best body contouring, body slimming treatment in the market!

On average with the Refresh Slim Body Sculpting system the penetration depth is 10 to 12 mm.

Clients with previous liposuction have had their fat cells mechanically removed. Refresh Slim Body Sculpting works by emptying fat cells of their content, so the Refresh Slim Body Sculpting system will not be effective with clients that have only a few fat cells left. Liposuction also creates a lot of fibrotic tissue which also further hampers results.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that clients undergoing Refresh Slim Body Sculpting have noticed an improvement in skin tone and texture.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that clients undergoing Refresh Slim Body Sculpting have noticed an improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

No. Refresh Slim Body Sculpting uses LED in the visible spectrum (635nm) to stimulate our fat cells to be more efficient and accelerate the rate of naturally occurring processes. There has never been any indication that it may cause cancer. However, clients with cancer are unable to be treated. For more information, please refer to our list of contraindications.

Since the Refresh Slim Body Sculpting system is a sealed system, you can use Refresh Rejuvenating Spa & Salon we use both disinfecting wipes and disinfecting spray to clean the Pure Light Slim Body Contouring system to make sure each client has a clean machine before and after treatments.

Yes. The pads of the Refresh Slim Body Sculpting system were designed with hygiene being a top priority. Other systems have diodes which are opened directly to the skin, and contain divots, which collect dirt, debris, and possibly infectious materials. The Refresh Slim Body Sculpting system is a sealed system, so none of the diodes are opened directly to the skin making the Refresh Slim Body Sculpting system more hygienic than other body slimming technologies.

Hydration and exercise are critical to optimizing your results. Drink plenty of water (ideally at least 8 glasses of 8 ounces of water) spread out throughout your day to flush the fat from your system. Avoid any diuretics (coffee, alcohol, etc.) and be active and burn 350 calories or more every day during your choice of cardio exercise. Follow a healthy diet and eat right!

This depends on how effectively your lymphatic system processes the liberated fat. Age and lifestyle are only but a few parameters that may influence your rate of improvement. To optimize processing, it’s recommended that you stay optimally hydrated (by drinking 64 ounces of water spread throughout your day and cutting back on diuretics) and that you mobilize your lymphatic system through physical activity (burning 350 calories or more daily with cardio exercise). Virtually you will begin to notice a difference after your second or third treatments. Some clients notice results immediately while others notice it further along in their series.

There are three main reasons why alcohol should be avoided with Refresh Slim Body Sculpting:

1. Alcohol is a diuretic and it is critical that the body stays optimally hydrated throughout the treatment program.
2. Alcohol also contains a lot of calories: a 5-ounce glass of red wine packs 100 calories! This directly conflicts with the recommendations of the program which calls for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
3. Alcohol is processed as fat by the liver which directly restricts the body’s ability to process the newly liberated fat. Once liberated by our Refresh Slim Body Sculpting, the fat that is not used up as energy to fuel the body’s normal metabolic needs is processed by the liver using enzymes. The total amount of fat being processed at any given time is limited by the amount of enzymes produced by the liver. Alcohol is processed as fat by the liver using the same enzymes. So, when the liver is busy processing alcohol, it’s not able to process the fat that is liberated by the Pure Light Slim Body Contouring system. Hence more time & treatments are required to achieve desired results.

Clients within a normal weight range require eight (8) treatments. Overweight and obese clients require a minimum of twelve (12) treatments.

Yes! Additional treatments will lead to improved results. An additional series of Refresh Slim Body Sculpting treatments can begin immediately after the first series.

None. There are zero side effects! The treatment is painless and normal activities can be resumed immediately.

Refresh Slim Body Sculpting does not have any effect on menstruation, so this is not considered a contraindication. However, a majority of women experience water retention during their menstruation period, which may negatively affect measurements. We recommend female clients being their treatments one week after their menstruation cycle for the best results.

No. We treat all clients the same. Clinically obese clients will benefit from Refresh Slim Body Sculpting. To show a significant benefit, we recommend a minimum of twelve (12) treatments. Note that the Refresh Slim Body Sculpting system will provide a reduction to the treated areas but will not treat obesity. The significant improvement in body shape over a short period of time is a very high motivator with obese clients, allowing them to comply with their diet and exercise programs and increases their chances of losing weight and becoming healthy.
