Hollywood actress Jessica Alba (Jessica Alba) caused a sensation on the Internet for his anti-aging LED skin care treatment. This fact proves that the market potential of LED in the beauty industry has extended to weight loss, and the target group is those who want to maintain a slim figure.
According to a 4WWL-TV report, Dr. Sasson Moulavi, medical director of Smart Life in Boca Raton, Florida, uses LEDs with a wavelength of 635 nanometers to treat patients who have encountered bottlenecks in weight loss.
"Red LED (safer and simpler liposuction `NLAL`) is not a panacea for obesity, Moulavi said. In order to be effective, dieters still need to adhere to a strict diet of 1,200 calories per day.
According to Moulavi, non-invasive cold LED therapy needs to be combined with dietary calorie control to help patients lose an average of 6.80 kg (15 pounds) per month. After three to four courses of treatment, the waist circumference can be reduced by 10.16 cm.
In contrast, in traditional liposuction treatment, the permanently removed fat can be regained in other parts of the body, and the area where fat cells and tissues return is the same as in NLAL treatment. Photos on the website show that NLAL treatment will reduce the size of fat cells. In addition, because the treatment is non-invasive, the patient does not need to go through a recovery period.

According to other information on the NLAL official website, the absorption rate of LED is higher than that of laser due to the relationship between light refraction and intensity. The absorption rate of LED is about 70% and that of laser is 30%.
In addition, another difference between the LED slimming device and the laser slimming device is that in the former, 30 medical LEDs need to be embedded in each irradiation board, while the latter only requires 8-12 diodes.
Similar to all new LED medical beauty applications, the treatment costs are still quite expensive, about US$300 per course of treatment. However, this may be an effective way to fight obesity for those who are struggling to lose excess fat in the waist to the extent that they can hug their waist.
