Contour Light in Pittsburgh

Contour Light is the only FDA Cleared device of its kind for body contouring (circumference reduction), pain management, and increased local blood circulation. Additionally, what sets it apart from other similar devices is the proprietary reflective coating that continually captures and redirects light energy back into the tissue for maximum strength and absorption, which translates to optimum results for your patients.

We use a technology known as Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT).

This light energizes and heats fat cells opening up the cell's pores. Once open, all the contents of the fat cells including fatty acids, glycerol, and water are carried into the Lymphatic System and removed PERMANENTLY from the body.

The technology in the Contour Light was originally discovered by NASA and used for wound healing in space and on earth. This technology has been used in hospitals, burn units, rehab centers, etc. for decades and still is today for wound healing, scar reduction, as well as pain relief. Then, they found that some patients experienced the side-effect of losing fat and inches!

The Contour Light treatment is painless, safe, and there are no negative side effects. You can expect to feel a gentle warming sensation. Most will listen to music and take a nap. One of the best parts of the contour light, is that you can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment because there is no recovery period or downtime.

The results from Contour Light will vary from person to person based on nutrition, activity, healthy life style, and frequency of treatment. The recommended treatment protocol is 8-16 sessions-(every 2-3 days over a period of 2 -3 weeks) with periodic tune ups following.

Contour Light along with a healthy lifestyle of good nutrition and moderate exercise will result in remarkable and measurable results. That said, there is no particular diet or exercise regimen required, but drinking plenty of water and even a 15-20 minute walk or moderate exercise following a treatment will noticeably enhance the results.

The recommended Contour Light protocol involves a series of treatment sessions of 25 minutes each, delivered every 2-3 days. Most patients see a noticeable improvement within the first 2-3 treatments, some even after the first treatment. Depending on the patients' goals, the Contour Light sessions along with nutritional supplements can reliably address most of their expectations. Though continued treatments, or series can be added if needed for further benefit.

Every part of the body, from the top of the head to the toes, can be treated by Contour Light, with the exception of the eyes. The red lights are ultra bright and eye protection is recommended when using the face mask.

A Contour Light treatment is safe and effective for anyone who does not have a medical condition that reduces their ability to eliminate waste via the liver and kidneys. Patients are recommended to consult their physician before starting any type of diet or exercise program.

There are three main reasons why alcohol should be avoided while receiving the Contour Light treatment.

• Alcohol is a diuretic and it is critical that the body stays optimally hydrated throughout the treatment program.
• Alcohol is high in calories and directly conflicts with the recommendations of any diet/body modification program.
• Third and most important, alcohol is processed by the liver, which directly restricts the body's ability to process the fat released during the treatment series. When the liver is occupied by the processing of alcohol, it is less able to process any additional fat or waste.
