The La Jolla Wellness Studio ispleased to announce a new ad-dition to their wellness plat-form, the award winningi-Lipo Xcell laser by Chromo-genex™. Cosmopolitan Mag-azine in their March 2014issue, calls i-Lipo a “beautygame changer,an in-officerenovation thatis raising thebeauty bar.” iLipo is the in-telligent non-surgical alternative toliposuction and can be usedon both women and men. Dr.Oz says “ i-Lipo delivers on itsfat reduction and body shap-ing promises. The La JollaWellness Studio is located onFay Avenue in La Jolla Villageand offers a very unique pro-gram for fitness, wellness, anti-aging and beauty.

iLipo is a revolutionary, non-invasive body shaping and cel-lulite reduction technologyoffering safe and pain freebody contouring in as little as20 minutes without surgeryand without downtime. Thisnon-destructive approach tofat reduction can be used year-round on all skin types.

The first visit includes a fullconsultation starting with anelectronic body compositionanalysis. This determines yourcurrent level of body fat, mus-cle mass and water contentand sets personal goals toachieve.

Each session consists of a 20-minute iLipo treatment to tar-get problem areas. Low levellasers are released though the

treatment pads, triggering achemical signal in the fat cellsthat breaks down the storedtriglycerides into free fattyacids and glycerol, which passthough the cell membrane.The lymphatic system releases

the fat from thebody immedi-ately afterwardsas long as youexercise. Thenext step in theprocess is a one-on-one personaltraining session

featuring a patented 30-minute workout process calledthe MyoMetrix Method™.This will burn off the releasedfat immediately.

With normal exercise the bodywill use its store of carbohy-drates and sugar as its firstsource of energy and it cantake a lot of time and effort be-fore it begins to burn fat as asource of energy. Using iLipoand the MyoMetrix Method™you go straight into fat burn-ing mode and results are seenimmediately. Typically a re-duction of 1-3cm is achievedafter each session. After acourse of 8 sessions you canachieve dramatic results

i-Lipo is the first direct skincontact laser device designedfor fat reduction and bodycontouring to receive FDA ap-proval for circumferential re-duction. Independent clinicalstudies have shown i-Lipo tobe completely safe with no sideeffects. A pre-sales event istaking place now so if youwould like to save on treat-ment packages call and bookan appointment today at 858-444-0340.

See what everyone’stalking about!
