What DetoxBody is
DetoxBody is a device designed by the German company HHP that brings two technologies together in one session. The first is photobiomodulation: low-level light and laser at four wavelengths, 635, 650, 808 and 940 nanometres. According to the manufacturer, this light makes the fat cell release part of its contents as water and glycerol, which the body then clears.
The second is Andullation, a combination of mechanical vibration and infrared heat. The amplitude and frequency of the vibration change randomly every five seconds, and the manufacturer uses it to support lymphatic drainage in the area.
Who DetoxBody is for
It is designed for people with localised fat in specific areas, such as the abdomen, who want to reduce their circumference as part of a plan that already includes diet and physical activity. The programme is chosen according to each patient's weight range, which is why the area is weighed and measured at the first visit.
- Abdominal contour and waist.
- Areas of localised fat that do not shift with diet and exercise.
- As a complement to a therapeutic nutrition plan.
What a session involves
- Assessment: your history, medicines and goal are reviewed, and your weight and measurements are taken.
- Programme: chosen according to weight range.
- Session: lying on the couch, the light acts on the area while Andullation applies vibration and gentle warmth. Low-level light does not heat the skin or fat.
- Afterwards: you carry on as normal, and measurements are repeated during the course to track progress.
Results and expectations
The US regulator, the FDA, sums up what low-level light can do as follows: temporarily reduce the circumference of the treated area, with a response that varies from person to person. DetoxBody is a contouring treatment, not a weight treatment: it does not treat obesity or replace the benefits of losing weight. It works best as part of a plan with diet and exercise, and the result lasts as long as the habits do.
Side effects and contraindications
Complications are rare; the FDA lists sensitivity in the area, electrical malfunction, burns, pigmentation changes, itching, nodules or pain. It is not used during pregnancy, in people with photosensitivity disorders or active implants such as a pacemaker, with a history of skin cancer in the area, if you take medicines that make you sensitive to light, or if there is an infection or a wound in the area, as the FDA guidance sets out. Technical information on the device is on the manufacturer's website.
DetoxBody and other treatments
DetoxBody works on contour. If you also want to improve muscle tone in the same area, it can be combined with ProDefine Body Sculpt, and if the problem is loose skin, with the body cartridges of HIFU 7D. You can compare them on advanced aesthetic medicine.
