Short answer: A comfortable InvisaRED visit starts with understanding your health history and goals. At Total Wellness in Bowie, I use the FDA-cleared invisa-RED ELITE laser, with sessions focused on the waist, hips and thighs. Most people relax and may feel gentle warmth during the approximately 30-minute session.
What do we know about this laser?
The FDA device information for invisa-RED ELITE describes its 680 nm and 980 nm laser wavelengths and includes a study of 40 adults that reported no adverse effects in that group. I use that information alongside your health history when discussing whether a session is appropriate for you.
The FDA also offers a body-contouring overview covering the different technologies and questions to discuss with a provider.
How do we prepare for your session?
Bring a list of medications and supplements. Tell us about pregnancy, implants, medicines that increase sensitivity to light, skin concerns, a history of cancer in the area and previous procedures. We review those details and explain the equipment and eye protection before starting.
During the session, let us know if anything feels painful or too hot so we can pause and check it. Our comfort guide explains what most people experience.
What happens after the visit?
InvisaRED involves no needles and no downtime, so you can return to your usual daily activities, following any personal instructions we give you. Contact us promptly about blistering, worsening pain or a persistent skin reaction. New vision changes need urgent medical assessment.
I want you to leave knowing what to expect and how to reach us with questions. New patients can begin with a $59 first session. Learn more about InvisaRED or schedule your visit.
Individual results may vary.
