Groupon: Choose from Three Options

$99 for one laser lipo session (a $250 value)
$149 for two laser lipo sessions (a $500 value)
$179 for three laser lipo sessions (a $750 value)

During treatments, technicians target fat with noninvasive cold lasers. The light works to disrupt fat cells' membranes, causing them to release their contents and shrink. The body then flushes out the released material or burns it for energy. Upon completion of a laser lipo session, the techs offer a complimentary whole-body vibration treatment, which can help build muscle, improve circulation, and trigger the fat-burning process. For best results, the clinic recommends clients receive between 9 and 18 treatments total, scheduled three times a week.
