The experienced doctors at Mariposa Body Sculpting Center wield the Lapex BCS system LipoLaser to contour physiques during noninvasive treatments that have been profiled on KFYR channel 5. Fat-fighting gurus guide laser paddles to lie against skin, target adipose tissue, and smack away any ping-pong balls carelessly left in the bellybutton during a treatment that lasts approximately 40 minutes. Cool, red-laser energy stimulates circulation and battles fat cells until they release compounds, shrink, and potentially slim figures.

The treatment can also smooth away cellulite, clear up stretch marks, and shrink excess skin. Most clients report experiencing virtually no pain and can return to daily activities without the downtime required of other fat-slimming procedures such as injections or removing an entire leg. The disembodied voices of expert staff members can also dish out pretreatment advice during complimentary phone consultations.
