Body Contouring

Body contouring is a combination of multiple treatments to help a client achieve an overall body aesthetic goal. If you are trying to get your summer body back or fill out your favorite pair of jeans a bit more, or even just feels more confident when you see yourself in the mirror then a body contouring plan with us at LightRx might be the solution you need.

We work with you to set up a uniquely tailored plan to fit your expectations and achieve your goals, this could include anything from a simple lift to something like laser lipo and skin tightening. None of our treatments involve surgery, meaning that there is a significantly reduced chance of any serious side effects and that there is no downtime following your treatment. Our treatments are also short, usually between 30 to 90 minutes, meaning you can fit in your treatment without having to block off a whole day to do so.

Cellulite Reduction

Cellulite is a common skin condition that makes the skin appear dimpled or what many refer to as cottage cheese. Cellulite is ultimately harmless and poses no threat to a person’s health. However, some may find the appearance of cellulite to be distasteful and wish to get rid of it. Fortunately, LightRx has a solution for your cellulite. The cellulite can be removed using low level lasers in combination with electromagnetic waves and radio frequencies. These work in tandem in order to heat up the skin to the ideal temperature to trigger the body’s natural healing process. This process then creates new connective fibers in the skin called collagen. The collagen is what is responsible for tightening the skin. Once the new collagen is formed the skin tightens and the undulation of the skin fades away over the course of the following six months.

Skin Tightening

Skin tightening works in much the same way as cellulite reduction. The skin is heated up in order to activate the natural healing process to create new collagen. It can also be done with lasers, radio frequencies and electromagnets depending on the area being targeted. Skin tightening can be applied both to wrinkled skin and to loose skin, in fact a lot of our skin tightening treatments are applied to loose skin caused by recent weight loss. Skin tightening can be applied to any part of the body from the face and neck region to the arms, abdomen, and thighs. Wherever you may have loose or wrinkled skin, we can tighten it.

Laser Lipo

Laser lipo is a great alternative to traditional liposuction for a number of reasons and you can get the best quality laser lipo in Alexandria. Laser lipo is a safe, medically proven treatment that helps to reduce fat in a targeted area. The treatment works best for stubborn spots of fat on the body that will not go away with regular diet and exercise.

Laser lipo works by aiming low level lasers at the fat beneath the skin, which heats it up to the point that the fat cells are killed. The treatment is so precise that the skin is not harmed. The fat is then turned into free fatty acids and glycerol. These are then transported through the body to the muscles where they can be worked off during exercise.

The main difference between laser lipo and traditional liposuction is that laser lipo is non-invasive. This means that clients can return to normal daily activities immediately following their treatment, and do not have to deal with the inconvenience of downtime. Also due to the nature of the treatment there is a significantly reduced chance of serious side effects such as infections or organ damage.

Laser Hair Removal

If you are looking for a more permanent solution to hair removal than waxing, shaving, or hair removal creams then look no further than laser hair removal in Alexandria. Laser hair removal is a simple and easy process and works anywhere there is unwanted hair. The lasers are aimed at the skin follicles and heat the skin enough to destroy them. The lasers are accurate enough to not damage the skin itself, just the follicles.

Because hair grows from follicles hair is unable to grow back at all. Simply ripping the hair out by the root or causing the hair to fall out does not produce the same long-term results as killing the follicle itself. Also, because the process does not irritate the skin in the same ways as other hair removal methods there are no bumps, scratches, or ingrown hairs following treatment.

Laser hair removal can eliminate up to 95% of hair from the targeted area in as few as six sessions and while clients do not see results until the full treatment plan has been completed, many clients see as much as 15-20% hair loss following the first session.
