Low levels of laser energy emitted by LumiSlim stimulate the fat cell membranes, changing their permeability. The cells lose their round shape, and intracellular fat is released. Then the fatty triglycerides flow out of the disrupted cell membranes and into the interstitial space, where they gradually pass through the body's natural metabolic functions with no harmful physiological effects, to be used as an energy source for the body. This process does not alter neighboring structures such as the skin, blood vessels, and peripheral nerves. It is not merely the liquefaction of fat but instead it is the instant breakdown of the fat cells, otherwise known as lipolysis.
