Not Seeing Results with the Lapex 2000 BCS (LipoLaser)

ORIGINAL POST

This isn't the Zerona machine, but it's the same...

This isn't the Zerona machine, but it's the same concept using a cold laser to penetrate the skin and shrinking the fat cells. Typically sessions are 40 minutes long, 2-3 times a week for 3-4 weeks. It's been reported that many patients see results after the very first session.

Yesterday I had my third session on my hips, flanks, and inner thighs - I have not noticed ANY difference. I have 5 more sessions to go, but I feel so deflated (no pun intended) at the lack of results thus far. I am very disappointed and only hope that during the next few sessions I'll start seeing some results.

I'll post an update if there have been changes.

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.

Hi mimi -- Did you take any pre-op photos? These can be really helpful, looking back to see if you got the results you wanted.

If you want to share any photos or tell us a bit more about your experience so far, please consider starting a liposuction diary here on RealSelf.

Good luck with the rest of your treatments!

It was a complete waste of time and money for me. It definitely was too good to be true. And from what I understand, to obtain great results you need at least 20-30 sessions. Good luck!

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 am thinking maybe there should be a "class action" from this. what do you think?
