What are the benefits of invisa-RED™?invisa-RED™ produces a combination of near-infrared and infrared light energy (680nm-980nm) The human cells have light sensitive chemicals called chromophores which react to light in this range. When stimulated by energy in this range, the cells produce more ATP which is the energy source that powers every muscle and increases metabolism. Red laser light also causes DNA synthesis in the fibroblasts of the cells which stimulates collagen production which makes the skin more elastic and younger looking. In addition, infrared light increases the production of cytochrome c oxidase enhancing the metabolism and the removal of toxins from the body. Therapeutic Benefits Increases blood capillary circulation and vascular activity by promoting improvement in the metabolism of nitric oxide (NO). This facilitates improved regulation of vasodilatation and leads to the formation of new capillaries – This in turn provides additional oxygen and nutrients to accelerate natural tissue healing processes and eventually evokes a cascade of beneficial biochemical processes. Stimulates synthesis of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP)—an immediate energy source for muscle contraction and essential in the metabolism of all cellular processes and sustaining living systems. Relaxes muscles, reduces nerve excitability, and stimulates nerve transmission Reduces scar tissue and stimulates wound healing Increases lymphatic system activity and relieves edema and discomfort associated with swelling Stimulates production of collagen—the most important component of wound healing Increases RNA/DNA synthesis – this stimulates cellular reproduction and facilitates accelerated replacement of damaged cells Increases production of endorphins and enkephalins from the brain – promoting mood elevation Stimulates production of adrenals— which facilitate long term resilience to stress Reduces inflammation and swelling in chronic conditions of arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis Stimulates fibroblastic activity – promoting repair of connective tissue and formation of collagen fibers

Is invisa-REDâ„¢ safe?Yes, invisa-REDâ„¢ laser light energy is part of the range of electromagnetic rays that are absolutely necessary for metabolism and growth of human beings and is also part of the natural light spectrum of sunlight minus the skin damaging UV rays, which is why NASA currently uses this type of energy in space. It is also vibration energy, with which the human body resonates. This is the reason that it can penetrate through the skin.
-
How long has this technology been around?With extreme popularity in the Beauty Capital of the World South America, invisa-REDâ„¢ is now at the forefront of cutting-edge technology for non-invasive weight loss and aesthetics procedures in the U.S as of 2014.
-
How is invisa-REDâ„¢ different from other body slimming technologies?Other body slimming devices are only able to accomplish temporary inch loss through skin tightening in the area of treatment. invisa-REDâ„¢ is the only clinically proven device for weight reduction, fat reduction and inch loss. invisa-REDâ„¢ Machines have the ability to adjust power output, pulse, and delay settings to maximize each individual patient, case by case. Patient results are both rapid and concrete. Our technology not only provides true weight loss but also skin tightening, cellulite removal, spot specific contouring, and stretch-mark fading. By combining technology and practical application within our own facilities we have been able to provide what others can only claim.

I don’t know much about invisa-RED™, can you explain it to me?Sunlight is a combination of visible, UV and infrared light. Infra-red light is longer in wavelength than visible light and starts just after the visible color of red. Infra-red laser light is the safest and healthiest spectrum of sunlight and accounts for 70% of the heating of the Earth, the rest being caused by visible light. It is therefore understood that a coherent combination of visible light and infra-red laser light offers the most benefits in electromagnetic heating of objects that absorb infrared such as the human body. Other forms of heat such as fire and ceramic heaters, etc, warm a person by heating the surrounding air that touches the person which does not penetrate deeply into the body. Infra-red laser light heat penetrates the skin and is much more effective. Certain infra-red laser light wavelengths also interact with living cells increasing metabolism, energy production, and causing more fuel (calories) to be burned.
-
Can I take it at any time of the day?Yes, it's recommended that you take it on the same day every week at the most convenient time for you.
-
How quickly can I expect to lose the weight?There is no set time for you to begin seeing results because people respond to medicine differently. Ask your health care provider about what a realistic expectation is for you.
-
Am I able to travel with my medicine?For sure! When traveling by air it's recommended to carry your pen in your carry-on as it may freeze in the baggage compartment below the plane. Check with your airline to see if they have specific baggage rules.
-
How much weight can I lose?Results do vary, but in a 68-week medical study of 1,961 adults living with obesity or excess weight with a related medical problem, adults lost ~35 lbs (or ~15% body weight). People taking placebo lost an average of 6 lbs (or ~2.5% body weight). The average starting weight for both groups was ~232 lbs. Results are from a 68-week medical study of adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) and adults with excess weight (BMI ≥27) who also had weight-related medical problems including high blood pressure or high cholesterol. People with type 2 diabetes were excluded. Both groups were instructed to take the medicine along with a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity. 7% of people taking Wegovy™ (92 people) left the medical study due to side effects, compared to 3.1% of people taking placebo (20 people).
-
Can I change the day I take it?You can change the day of the week you take it as long as your last dose was given 2 or more days before.
-
What if I know my insurance won't cover the medicine?No worries! We have 1 year same as cash financing program, contact us to find out more.
-
How do I dispose of the pen?Do not throw the pen away in your household trash. Instead, use an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container or a sturdy household container with a tight-fitting lid, like a heavy-duty plastic container.
-
Do I need to eat before or after taking my medicine?That is up to you, you can take your medicine with or without food.
-
What do I do if the liquid in my pen isn't clear?Your medicine should always be clear and colorless, if it is not, PLEASE DO NOT USE! Contact us immediately for a replacement.
-
What do I do if I miss a dose?Don't worry if you miss a dose and the next scheduled dose is more than 2 days away (48 hours), take the missed dose as soon as possible. If you miss a dose and the next scheduled dose is less than 2 days away, don't administer the dose. Wait until your next scheduled dose. If you miss doses for more than 2 weeks, call your health care provider to talk about how to restart your treatment. You can take your next dose on the regularly scheduled day.
-
Does my insurance cover the weight loss program?Check out our Financing page to see which insurances may or may not cover it or directly contact your insurance provider.
