Dr. Patrick Callahan, a board certified anesthesiologist with more than 20 years experience treating severe and chronic pain, is helping clients achieve their weight loss goals through the use of the i-Lipo body contouring system. Dr. Callahan is the first and only doctor in Eastern Md. to offer this intelligent alternative to liposuction that eliminates downtime, bruising and pain.
i-Lipo is an FDA-cleared body slimming solution that uses low level laser energy to painlessly stimulate the body into naturally shrinking targeted fat deposits. Patients report an 8-10% reduction in circumference after a typical course of eight treatments.
“Any decrease in fat from around the abdomen can reduce back pain as well as improve the physical appearance of the patient,” Dr. Callahan said. “We are excited to offer a lifestyle solution that will help patients combat excess inches and achieve better health.”
i-Lipo is applicable to anybody that desires to lose fat in stubborn areas like arms, legs, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, saddle bags, areas of the chin, and male breasts. The process is particularly appealing to those who want to avoid an invasive and costly procedure such as liposuction.
“I lost 55 pounds from the Atkins diet, and there were certain areas that were not shrinking, even with exercise,” patient Jerry Honsberger said. “I was looking for a non-invasive way to help with the problem areas.”
In comfortable treatments lasting just 20 minutes, low-level laser energy targets fat stored in adipose cells, facilitating the release of fatty acids. Fat content is then transported around the body to tissues where it is “burned off” during a brief period of post-treatment exercise.
Total body reshaping can be achieved in as little as four weeks, and results are easily maintained by adhering to basic guidelines for diet and exercise. For many, i-Lipo is a “jump-start” into a healthier lifestyle.
“i-Lipo gives you something diets can’t — instant results,” patient Adrian Nicholson said. He has maintained his two-inch, 20-pound loss by trading fast food for salads, and going to the gym – something he had not done in years. “Seeing such dramatic results after the first session motivated me to keep the weight off and change my life entirely.”
Honsberger is looking forward to his upcoming vacation at the beach. Thanks to i-Lipo, he will be sporting a new bathing suit, a size smaller than last year. “It’ll be nice to show off a little bit,” he said.
“I would recommend it to anybody,” added Nicholson. “I look in the mirror and feel better about myself – not only because I have lost weight but because it’s pushed me to be an all-around healthier person.”
