Short answer: InvisaRED uses laser energy, while fat-freezing procedures use controlled cooling. At Total Wellness in Bowie, I offer the FDA-cleared invisa-RED ELITE laser, with sessions focused on the waist, hips and thighs. Most people relax during the visit, which takes about 30 minutes, with no needles and no downtime.
What should you compare?
I encourage you to start with your goals and the experience you want, then compare how each approach fits.

What is an InvisaRED visit like?
We start with your goals, health history and measurements. Then you lie back for the laser session. If anything feels uncomfortable or too hot, tell us so we can pause and check it. Our comfort guide walks you through the experience.
We discuss a session plan and any follow-up visits around your response and goals. Comfort is one part of the decision; the approach should also match what you want to accomplish.
How can you get started?
New patients can try a $59 first session after a health-history review. Book an InvisaRED visit and bring your questions.
If your priority is weight management, our physician-guided program offers a different path to discuss.
Individual results may vary.
