The New York Laser Clinic's Lapex BCS laser removes fat non-invasively, with no pain and no after-effects. It works by placing "paddles" on the area to be treated; these emit low levels laser energy, disrupting the fat cell membranes and causing them to release the fat found between cells. This in turn causes the cell to lose its round shape by changing the permeability of the cell membrane.
What happens then is that Triglycerides, fat, spill out from the broken cell membranes and are released into the interstitial space, where they are slowly transported through the body’s natural metabolic functions, with no adverse physiological effects, to be used by the body as an energy source.
Will it hurt?No, not at all, you’ll feel a warmth. The treatment ends with a relaxing few minutes on a vibration plate, if advised by your Consultant.
What efffect does it have?Measuresments will be taken of the area being treated both before your first treatment and after your last treatment. You’ll be amazed at the results. Take a look at our video.
How much will it cost?Your initial consultation will be free of charge, with no obligation to undergo treatment. The eventual cost will depend on the area of treatment and the number of treatments you decide on.

"I am a great advocate of injection lipolysis using phosphatidylcholine, but the pain, burning, bruising and prolonged swelling give this procedure a definite downtime. Laser lipolysis, however, using the Lapex BCS System has the same effect as the chemicals on causing disruption of the cell wall and allows the fatty acids to be released into the lymph and removed from the body by the venous system and then the liver. The downtime is negligible. I am very impressed with the few cases I have seen using this technique and will certainly treat more patients in this way."Mr Brent Tanner MA FRCSConsultant Plastic Surgeon
