Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Obesity, Body Weight, Fat Burn, Cellulite, Abdominal Fat, Adipose Tissue Atrophy

In brief

The trial was designed to provide empirical evidence with which to compare the efficacy and safety of the invisa-RED Technology Elite Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) device with a sham device as a placebo, when both are used in the treatment of individuals to reduce body fat and improve body aesthetics. At the conclusion of the trial; the change in body fat percentage, the change in total body fat in pounds, and total inches lost of the two groups were statistically analyzed to determine the efficacy of the invisa-RED Technology Elite when used for body fat (adipose tissue) loss and/or aesthetics therapy.
