Adipose or fatty tissue is the body's means of storing metabolic energy over extended periods of time. Depending on your physiological condition, adipocytes store fat derived from your diet and liver metabolism, or degrades stored fat to supply fatty acids and glycerol to the circulation. These activities are regulated by several hormones, i.e. insulin, glucagon and epinephrine. 

The skin is the body's largest organ. It is a forever changing organ that contains many specialised cells and structures. The subcutaneous layer is where we store fat and is located approximately 8mm below the surface of the skin.

Fat is produced by the body when an excess intake of calories in the form of food or drink occurs. When the body receives more calories than it actually needs, the excess energy is stored in the form of body fat.

After your teenage years, your body will not generate more fat cells so continued intake of excess calories will cause the body to store more fat. As the number of fat cells remains the same, each fat cell simply gets bigger and bigger.

The removal of excess fat is by a reversal of the process that stores excess energy, i.e. if you increase your physical activity and do not increase you food intake you will draw the extra energy needed from your stored body fat.

The laser energy from the LAPEX BCS Pro stimulates each fat cell causing them to release their contents and making the fat cells reduce in size, or visible instant inch loss. A typical LAPEX BCS Pro treatment releases 40-60g of fat.

The LAPEX BCS Pro body contouring system is the ideal treatment for all body types when combined with appropriate levels of exercise, coupled with a healthy balanced diet and lifestyle.

The Lapex BCS Pro system has also been used successfully with the Physiotherm^TM range of infra-red cabins. Working symbiotically together, the effect of the infra-red increases the body's metabolism, thus burning the fat released by the Lapex BCS Pro. Effectively, when combined with a well balanced diet, and a modicum of sensible exercise, this creates the ‘Holy Grail' of totally effortless, pain-free and non-surgical inch-loss.
