“Not Seeing Results with the Lapex 2000 BCS (LipoLaser)”

well the lapex2000 does work in fact i have had only happy clients and excellent personal results-however, we have found that when it comes to hips,inside thighs and legs we only get half the expected results as when we are doing other areas,tummy,love handles and such.this is not the zerona laser and is not the same thing,zeronas laswer only reach 635nm and we now know that the most effective is 658nm. the zerona is not fda approved and the lapex is.the lapex technology is more effective because of the wave lenght and because the paddles are closer to the skin "paddles" and zerona is above and does not reach all the sides of your body. stick in there and if you have a compitent tech you should do fine.

Did you change your diet and do the body shaker and exercise? Just wondering?

Yup. I exercised, used the K1 machine and ate healthy meals. It just didn't work for me. People interested in these treatments need to seriously consider that they be one of those individuals that it does nothing for - like me.

I am also doing this machine. I have had 3 sessions and I dont realy know what to expect because I have 6 more sessions but I am worried it is not working. Very expensive and I hope I didnt waste my money.

Hello,

I too had the this done and I had 19 sessions and only lost 3/4 of an inch, very expensive I have so mad at myself for not researching this more. Where I went they didn't have me wear any eye protection, did any of you. I would not recommend this treatment for weight lose.

I just wanted to post my comment on the lipolaser machine. I have had 2 treatments already and have lost 1/2 inch in each arm. I am very happy with the results so far. I also want to add that I eat healthy and exercise 4-5 days a week. This laserlipo is meant for people that have problem areas that diet and exercise is just not helping. Just be careful when purchasing treatments, it is not meant for weight loss it is more for toning problem areas. If you are expecting miracles you will not get them. You must read the fine print about how important diet and exercise is along with the treatments. I wish everyone that has purchased treatments success. I am a happy customer.

I had the 9 sessions on on my torso and abdomen. They kicked in an extra 3 to make 12sessions. There were definitely results but not enough to warrant the 2600.00 I paid. I think the small areas like arms or thighs would be the best. I did have eye protection and did do the vibration
Machine. Probably 9 more sessions would work but that is too expensive.

Wow you all spent a lot of money on this stuff. I just went on my first session today for my cellulite on my butt and thigh. I don't see any results yet but I will try the first 3 sessions to see how it looks after if I don't see any results after then I wont do it anymore.I am already slender and I work out almost every day. I only spent $149 for 3 sessions and every other session is $149 for each session. I don't understand what the eye protection would be for??

Wow that is a great price! I guess you are not in Florida. I did get results and I did burn fat after each session. I checked this with the diabetic urine strips and it turned bright purple, indicating fat was being burned. No weight loss what so ever. Just inches. I would do more but at $400 per session, too expensive.

Well I just finished with 12 sessions for $3000 and I can't see any results at all.

Here's the deal: The truth is you are supposed to change your diet and exercise. I am actually a very healthy eater so this wasn't an issue for me but for most people, if you change your diet to not eat more than 1000 to 1100 calories a day, eat no processed foods or starchy carbs and work out you, of course, will be very successful at losing the weight...but you don't need to pay the $3000 to lose it! Since I am a very healthy eater I did not change my diet at all, except I ate smaller meals multiple times a day to keep my metabolism up. I don't exercise much but did remain active, as usual. I weighed 134 when I started this 12 weeks ago, I now weigh 132. The dr said I lost an inch around the upper part of my waist, 2 inches below and an inch on my thighs but when I came home and took my own measurements (which I also did before I started) I showed no loss at all. But even if I did have the loss he said....THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR AN INCH HERE OR THERE????? If I had paid $100 and walked into a room of my friends I would expect a comment like "did you do something different to your hair?? You look different". For $3000 I should be able to walk into a room and hear "Holy crap! What did you do to yourself!".

The truth is, if you did everything you're supposed to do while doing the laser you will lose the weight you want anyway. So why pay all the money?? The "inches" I supposedly lost could've been done in 2 weeks by just cutting back on my calories. I didn't need to spend the money for what I could have done on my own with very little effort in 2 weeks.

I did a lot of research on this and knew going in that it was iffy, but thought since I'm so active and eat so well I'd have no problems getting the maximum effects. The dr I worked with said my results are typical and his other clients are thrilled with the same results I got. I told him they must have very low expectations and money to burn.

Unfortunately if you want to lose weight you either have to give in and get lipo or diet and exercise.

This procedure does not work. It will not give you noticeable differences and if it does you can expect to gain it all back quickly.

Sorry to burst any bubbles. I believe the folks that say they had wonderful results are the ones that don't eat very well or exercise to begin with and then follow the dietary guidelines and exercise. That's why they lose the weight. But everyday, healthy eating active folks don't stand a chance with this.

Save your money!

Wow $3000! That is a lot of money. I did not spend anywhere near that. Not sure about this Dr, for one thing he is charging way too much for the treatments. I guess they can pretty much charge what they want. I paid 1/4 of the price for 6 sessions.

Yes you are correct the results that you did receive are accurate. I am not by any means saying this is a miracle product that "zap" it makes you skinny. What I am saying is that this is something you can use to concentrate on problem areas. If you are going in thinking that you will melt away fat and pounds with this you are mistaken. For me it was more for toning my arms. A million tricep dips a day wouldn't get rid of the flab so I turned to this lipo laser and it helped. Now I wouldn't say I have the results I want but the results I did get I was happy with. It has been almost 3 months since my last treatment and I still have kept off those inches. Would I spent another $750 to do it over again, probably not but it was worth a try and I was happy with what I recevied for my money.

Again I just want to say that these procedures are not for losing weight. They are more for toning your problem areas that not even diet and exercise have helped. Just be very aware when going in. Don't expect a fast fix because you will be very disappointed.

This Lipolaser device is NOT FDA approved. It is very dangerous and is hurting patients. Many have developed a strange growth in the treated area. We are aggressively pursuing Yolo Medical for criminal charges related to their illegal selling and marketing of an unapproved medical device. Many other parties that have been scammed into using this device due to false claims. If you too have been injured from this Lipolaser, it is time to fight back.

I did the lipolaser too. I also spent way too much money, I think 2400 for 9 sessions, I dont recall. I thought I lost some chub in the bra back area, my husband even commented that I looked like I had lost some chunk there (I didnt tell him I spent 2400 of my own money, he would have flipped) but, for 2400 I could have had that area liposuctioned instead, which is what I should have done. This process does not work for most people. As far as the guy ranting about the FDA, not sure whats up with that. It is FDA approved for pain and I believe they also have approval for this treatment as well. Sounds like a troll looking to gather up for a class action - go away troll, you are just as bad!

I really was a little concerned about the FDA thing but I think it is definately FDA approved but like you, while it does work to a degree, not worth the bang for the big bucks. It is for skinny people with little pockets of stubborn fat.

If you are having this procedure done by a spa instead of at a doctors office, buyer beware. This FDA class device is only to be purchased and used under a doctors supervision. I use the unit in my clinic and it does everything I ask of it. It is not design to loose weight. But, if you have areas that have not responded to diet or exercise it will do the trick. The glass' are recommended to protect the eyes from direct exposure from the laser. Someone who is 134 pounds, why do you need the treatment? You need body fat for it to work. Dumb eeeeeeee! If someone thinks that you will see any major changes without making some personal changes will not get the results they want. The assistant who demonstrated the equipment on me was not qualified or knew what she was doing and I blame the doctor not her. She only got a 1/2 inch of of my bellow area. I bought a unit and got 5 and a 1/4 INCHES when I did the first one in my clinic on myself. So, I know it works, blame the people that did the treatments or yourself for not following required steps or having it done by a doctor supervised program. Don't blame the machine for a idiot who does not know what they are doing.

The protocol was exactly as recommended by the manufacturer, including the post treatment vibration machine, plus copious amounts of fluid, detox supplements and 30 minutes of high impact cardio in a group fitness class within 2 hours of treatment. All of this 3 times a week over at least 12 sessions. There was "nominal" change in inches for the financial investment.

It is most likely the treatment success really comes from a temporary lifestyle change of eating less, diet and exercise with the laser as a motivational tool.

Your lack of professional etiquitte, poor grammar and English skills cast serious doubt on your credentials.

I too got roped into this fantastic dream. I am not overweight but always wanted my thighs to be more contoured. I eat well and excersize regularly. I purchased a package of 3 for 199.00 thinking why not give it a shot? But as soon as I got to the office, the staff said I would have to purchase their additional package of 6 additional treatments plus body wraps and a detox plan. 2500.00 more. I am familiar with detox plans and typically they make you loose weight anyway. I am looking for more of a skin smoothing outcome rather than weightloss. I did hope that there would be some positive feedback on this site. Sorry to those who havent had success, 3000 is rediculous to spend. Everyone knows that there is no magic answer and excersize is the best answer. A professional trainer in your house for a year would have made more sense. Dr. T why are you so angry, especially to women who have had problems with weight loss? As a lawyer, I can tell you that depending on the doctor (fake doctors) practice a lawsuit is possible. But to the lady who suggested it, you probably signed a form saying nothing is garunteed. Dr. T, in reading this blog I was really hoping a trained professional like yourself would have provided some words of medical wisdom or positive feedback. Look at your comments, they are offensive even when directed at others. Good luck to all (:
