Is Lapex 2000 effective in reducing fat?

By sassybreck on 06 May 2009

What do you think about the new machine, Lapex 2000? Does it work? They claim it reduces fat without any surgery. I'm thinking about doing it, but it hasn't been out long enough for me to find a lot of testimonials.

Well im in the Philadelphia area and got a living social deal for the Lapex Lipo for $99/1 visit or $275/3 visits. I hate the word DIET bc it sounds temporary, but I do follow maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating properly and working out 4-5 days/week. I have a 7 month old and I had been trying to get my stomach back and I thought about trying this, but after reading the most recent reviews I think I'll past. If I have to couple my sessions with "diet & excersise" well I agree thats what helps u loose inches anyway. So thanks everyone

If your only paying 275 then maybe it's worth the chance it "might" melt some fat. The thing is they try to pressure you to buy more at full price to really get the full benefit. I paid about 2400 and it was definitely not worth that kind of money. Also, if you are only 7 months out you may need to just be more patient. You just put your body through a hormonal hurricane. You stretched out your insides like a balloon! It needs time. Sounds like you already go to the gym, maybe treat yourself to a personal trainer with that money- better yet, enjoy a nice massage or two, you probably deserve it.

Love the self promoting posts that were created just to promote the "Yolo Curve" - which I have not used, but likely another ripoff copycat.

THESE MACHINES DO NOT WORK PEOPLE!!!! You cannot melt fat with a light, have it turn to waste and eliminate it out of your body - if that were possible I would lay in one like it was a tanning bed!! (oh wait, that's called Zerona LOL...) If you had any sucess using them, its because you also dieted and exercised while you were using them, plus its easy to tug the tape measure just a little tighter to get that 1 inch "loss". if this thing was 50.00 a visit, then I could see giving it a shot and at least use it to help motivate you to diet, exercise etc., but for the prices they are charging to magically melt fat while you just lie there reading a magazine are ridiculous. Just save your money and get liposuction if the fat is bothering you that much -

TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!!!! Tried it did not work what so ever. Had liposuction done recently, that is what works. Don't try what you think is the quick and less expensive course. In this case you "don't even get what you paid for" just a feeling of being ripped off as it is not cheap.

I did 12 sessions of the Lapex 2000 and the Hutur celulite treatments and paid over $3000.00 dollars!!!!! and saw no diference what so ever!! Im not an over weight person, I'm active in the gym five days a week and watch my diet very closely. Ive been wanting lipo suction for many years on my tummy area! so when i saw this i thought this would be the answer instead of surgery. Now i wish i didnt waste that money and could of used that money towards the lipo to begin with. I'm extreamly dissappointed and feel that i was completly mislead. Don't waste your money!!!!!!!!

I don't think the treatment is worth the money I paid, but if you want to test it out for yourself and you have a deal, maybe it will work for you. If you want instant fat reduction in a specific area do lipo. If you want to lose it over a period of time and you follow the plan (water, diet, cardio, detox, vibration) then this might help. I think if you did all of that daily anyway you would drop inches!!

I got a deal, 4 sessions for $280...so I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens. I'm mainly focused on my thighs and upper arms, I'm fine with my waist. We'll see, fingers crossed!

wondering if you've had any sessions since you posted.
I'm curious to hear if you've seen any results, since you are posting almost 2 yrs after the previous posts-maybe newer technology has been implemented?
I"m considering buying a package myself...

I tried the lapex 2000. For me it was a total waste of money. I first had the $100 consultation where the owner took pictures beforehand, placed the paddles on 4 areas for 10 min each, she then took after photos (where I honestly could not see any difference at all) but she and her manager tried to convince me I wasn't seeing what they were seeing.(Big difference they said)-- So bowing under the high pressure I thought I would give it a try. When I got home I measured myself as I noticed they sure didn,t.(no difference).I had 3 sessions in total,I came home and ran on my treadmill as advised for 40 min., used the body cleanse tablets given and was especially carefulwith my diet. I took measurements after each session with no results so I cancelled the remaining 9 (i could still cancel as it was within the 10 day cancellation period.Thank goodness for the Consumer Protection Act) I had originally paid for half of the 12 treatments. The total cost for the 12 was $2800. When I advised them I was cancelling I had to return to the store 4 times as well as phone several times to ask for my money back. I was charged $1000 for the three visits. After this experience I am now going to get "real" liposuction done. So in my opinion don't waste your money, or try and get a money back guarantee.I think if they had been honest up front and not lied about "so called results with the photos) in the consultation I might have gone longer---but so glad I didn't waste any more money on this!

I AGREE! I had 8 sessions on my abdomen - zero change. They wanted me to go on a juice fast to lose weight. I had stated that my weight was fine (127 lbs, 5'6"). They advertise spot treatment - of course my Tummy bulge will shrink if I am skin and bones - not an attractive look at 59!!!!

I am on my 9th and final lipolaser treatment. I am focusing on the area below the bra line in the back.. aka "bread back" to some of you. The results are there, the area is smaller, maybe about 2 inches total since the first measurement (though no actual loss on the scale) It's just not as much as I had hoped after 8 faithful visits (extra time at that) plus the vibration machine, post water and gym, walks or biking. I think its great for someone who just has a little chub to shrink, or perhaps "manboob" - I think it would work on me after like, 20 visits, but the cost would be prohibitive and at that point, traditional lipo would be quicker and more cost effective (albeit risky of course) My physician is trustworthy, he would not have bought this machine if he didn't support it. He was very open and honest, gave me the info I need to make a choice, gave me extra time, so I have no problems with that part at all.

I have had 3 sessions with the Lapex2000 and liked my results, which were: 1st treatment, waist/love handles area, lost 3/4" 2nd treatment, upper thighs (late for app't and didn't measure) 3rd treatment, upper thighs 1/2 inch off my left thigh, no immediate change on right I signed up for a 10-package deal so I am excited to see the "final" results after the 10 sessions. I use parentheses around final because this is not permanent fat removal, the treatment just causes the fat to leak out of your cells and into your lymph system which your body then eliminates. The technician told me approximately 40-60 fat grams are released per session. After all three treatments my energy level was amazing. I hit the gym right after (as recommended by the manufacturer--high level cardio to help use up the released triglycerides) and had excellent workouts and a general energy buzz the entire day. I can see this treatment as being a "tune-up" treatment that one would do before summer or leading up to a big event. Ultimately, unless you change your caloric intake/output, this is not a permanent solution as the fat cells are still there, just shrunk. But I would definitely recommend the treatment as a jumpstart on weight loss and for areas where the fat is just refusing to come off. It also seems to be more of a sculpting treatment for people with 10 - 20 extra pounds. Probably the biggest appeal is that there is absolutely no down time either. You just go in, *ZAP*, leave and get your workout on. Hope these comments help. I will post again after completing all my treatments.

That's very exciting and I'm glad you are having great results! I, on the other hand, am not having as good of an experience. I'm on my 7th session and have barely lost 1/2 an inch in the areas treated. I have 1 more session to go but feel it's a waste of time. Although its been paid for so I'll complete the program. I'm very disappointed. I've been eating very well and have been exercising, I'm just one of those people it doesn't work well on. Too bad I had to spend $3500 to find that out. Good luck to you and to anyone else considering the Lapex 2000.

its too bad you did not get the results you were looking for. my buisness purchased a lapex2000 lipolaser after having several demos with out most trusted clients and friends, we found the results do vary. men tend to lose more than women, especially around the mid section. we are getting excellent results on tummy,love handles,"bra bulge",arms and chin. we are not seeing as good of results on legs and thighs. it still works but takes almost twice as many treatments as any other area on the body.we use a whole body vibration before on a lymphatic stimulation mode 3.8 and after the treatment to burn up those free fatty acids that are now floating around your body.however, client selection is a big part of sucess, if someone has an excess of 40% body fat and does not workout reg i would not advise them to do this,unless all other alternatives have been ruled out by cost,invasivness and what results the client expects. i try very hard not to mislead my clients and tell them the truth, this is only 1/3 the process and you must earn you keep in a way.regular exercise is a must as well as healthy diet. I TRY to educate them on dietary needs,caloric intake and talk to them about what excersies are avaliable to them not everyone can go to the gym so i have handy sheets made up of effective workouts for at home, as well as i let them check out books about healthy eating and detox. this seems to work well, it weeds out those who are not commited right off the bat, beacuse im up front about the commitment. i fell this is a great alternative to surgery and it does work, but only as hard as you do. its excellent for brides, vacation or just some summer sculpting but no, i would not expect this to be a one size fits all treatment.

I have an appointment this Wednesday, April 7 for my first Lapex 2000 treatment and I'm really skeptical. It seems too good to be true! Is it? I'm looking for people who can fill me in on their any or all of their Lapex experiences. Was it worth it for you?

I'm also from Edmonton and have been using the Eurowave. The tech said I lost 1 inch off my waist on my 5th visit, but it doesn't feel like it on my clothes. I will have my husband measure me lying down as they do to be sure. I also am using the Vibration machine. I am an athlete (well not so much at the moment), and exercise 3-4 days a week vigoroursly (although I have a sweet tooth) and I am not sure yet about the machine. Yes I am skeptical, you see had actual liposuction on my lower abdomen and have actually lost weight since getting it done, but now I have a wider waist line and so I was told to use the Eurowave. I am thinking of Lipo Laser but wondered if you can go only one time and continue Eurowave to get the result wanted. I want to get rid of bout 1" from my ribcage to my belly button, you see just under my breasts now I stick out from the change in my body. Any suggestions?

The Lapex technology is proving to be as advertised. It is a great alternative to an invasive and painful liposuction procedure. The treatments are from $250 or packages of 9 can be bought for $1800. The device is used with exercise and diet recommendations and is really easy and pain free. I know several MD's that have the device and are very pleased.
