FAQ - MedWave™ Red Light Therapy
What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy is a non-invasive wellness treatment that uses low-level red (and sometimes near-infrared) light to support normal cellular function. The light is absorbed by cells and may help support energy production, tissue repair, and overall cellular health.
How does red light therapy work?
Red light therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of light to the skin and underlying tissue. This light is absorbed by mitochondria inside cells, which play a role in producing cellular energy (ATP). Supporting this process may assist the body’s natural repair and recovery functions.
Is red light therapy safe?
Red light therapy is generally considered safe when administered correctly by trained providers. It is non-invasive, does not use heat, needles, or chemicals, and is typically pain-free. As with any wellness treatment, individual suitability should be discussed with a qualified practitioner.
Does red light therapy hurt?
No. Red light therapy is typically painless. Most people experience a gentle warmth or no sensation at all during treatment.
What are the benefits of red light therapy?
Red light therapy may help support: Skin health and appearance Collagen production Reduced inflammation Tissue repair and recovery General wellness and energy support Results vary between individuals, and ongoing research continues to explore these effects.
How many red light therapy sessions do I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on individual goals and response. Some people notice changes after a few sessions, while others benefit from consistent treatments over several weeks. Your provider will guide you based on your needs.
How long does a red light therapy session take?
Sessions typically last between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area and protocol being used.
Is red light therapy a medical treatment?
Red light therapy is generally used as a supportive or complementary wellness therapy. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent medical conditions unless specifically prescribed by a qualified medical professional.
Can red light therapy help with inflammation?
Research suggests red light therapy may help support the body’s natural inflammatory response by encouraging cellular processes involved in repair and recovery. However, results vary and ongoing research is still developing in this area.
Is there downtime after red light therapy?
No. Red light therapy does not require downtime. Most people return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
Who is red light therapy suitable for?
Red light therapy may be suitable for individuals looking for a non-invasive option to support skin health, recovery, or general wellness. Suitability depends on personal health factors and should be discussed with a practitioner.

FAQ - Lipolysis Injections
What are lipolysis injections?
Lipolysis injections are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to reduce localized fat deposits. The treatment involves injecting a substance into targeted fatty tissue to break down fat cells, which the body then processes naturally over time.
How do lipolysis injections work?
Lipolysis injections work by disrupting the membrane of fat cells in the treated area. Once these fat cells are broken down, the body gradually removes them through natural metabolic processes.
Are lipolysis injections approved?
Certain injectable substances used for lipolysis; such as Phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid - are approved by regulatory authorities (including the FDA in the United States) for specific uses, such as reducing stubborn fat pockets in certain specific areas of the body.
What areas can be treated with lipolysis injections?
The most well-known and approved treatment area is submental fat (under the chin). Some practitioners also treat other small, localized fat pockets, depending on clinical judgement and patient suitability.
Are lipolysis injections a weight-loss treatment?
No. Lipolysis injections are not intended for weight loss. They are designed for targeted fat reduction in specific areas and are best suited for individuals close to their ideal body weight.
How long does it take to see results from lipolysis injections?
Results develop gradually. Visible changes often begin to appear several weeks after treatment, as the body processes the disrupted fat cells. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.
How many lipolysis injection sessions are needed?
The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment area, amount of fat, and individual response. Many patients require multiple treatments spaced weeks apart to achieve their desired outcome.
Are lipolysis injections permanent?
When fat cells are destroyed through approved lipolysis treatments, they do not regenerate in the treated area. However, remaining fat cells can still enlarge if overall body weight increases.
Is the procedure painful?
Discomfort levels vary. Most providers use local anesthesia or numbing agents. Patients may experience temporary discomfort during and after treatment, along with swelling or tenderness.
What are the common side effects?
Common and expected side effects include:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Redness
- Tenderness or firmness at the injection site
These effects are usually temporary and resolve over time.
Is there downtime after lipolysis injections?
Most patients can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment. However, swelling and bruising may last for several days or longer, depending on the individual and treatment area.
Who is a good candidate for lipolysis injections?
Lipolysis injections may be suitable for adults who:
- Are in good overall health
- Are near their ideal body weight
- Have localized fat deposits
- Are seeking a non-surgical contouring option
A consultation is required to determine suitability.
Who should avoid lipolysis injections?
This treatment may not be suitable for individuals with:
- Significant loose skin
- Large volumes of excess fat
- Certain medical conditions
- Unrealistic expectations
Your provider will assess risks and suitability during consultation.
How do lipolysis injections compare to liposuction?
Lipolysis injections are minimally invasive and do not involve surgery or general anesthesia. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that physically removes fat using suction. Each option has different risks, recovery times, and outcomes.
Are lipolysis injections safe?
When performed by a trained, licensed medical professional using approved products, lipolysis injections have an established safety profile. Using unapproved substances or unqualified providers increases the risk of complications.
Are results guaranteed?
No. Results vary between individuals and depend on factors such as treatment area, number of sessions, and individual biology. No cosmetic procedure can guarantee specific outcomes.
