So what is Cell-IQ?
It is a pain-free, non-invasive device used for reducing fat by shining the emitted light energy (laser) over the skin. cell-IQ is a revolutionary new fat-reduction technology. A smart alternative to surgery, cell-IQ using a low-level laser to target the stubborn spots that don’t respond to regular diet and exercise.
How does it work?
It targets fat in specific problem areas. Laser pads are positioned on the target area such as upper arms, abdomen or thighs. This is a big advantage over diet and exercise which can reduce overall body fat but not shape individual areas.
cell-I gives fast results with improvements showing immediately after the first treatment and over the course of treatments. cell-IQ™ is ideal for someone who has made a decision to improve their overall diet and exercise regime, or has struggled to get results from a particular area despite regular exercise and healthy eating.
The question you are all probably wanting to know the answer to is DOES IT WORK? The answer is YES!
How did I come across it?
I saw a deals voucher online for $49 for a 20 minute Cell-IQ session followed by a compulsory pure cardio gym session (where you must burn 200-300 calories). So I bought one and went along to a session last night in Sydenham, Fernwood Fitness. The lady looking after me was so nice and informative and took me through everything. She explained again that it is painless and took my tummy measurements. I don't remember what they were though because she didn't give me a copy but I do remember what I lost at the end.
The laser pads they refer to are plastic aprx. 10cm x 10cm circular devices attached by a wire each and they glow red (laser) when switched on. 4 are placed in specific places over your treatment area. I chose my stomach. So I had 2 either side of my belly button. They were strapped in with a black belt. She also placed to lymph-node stimulating device near at the top of my legs near my groin - this is to stimulate the lymph-nodes to work that fat away when it reaches them. She covered me with a blanket and dimmed the light so I could relax. She came back in 3 times at 6minute intervals to move the laser pads 1cm downwards so that a larger area was covered.
I relaxed and before I knew it it was time to sweat my arse off in the gym! (Boo!) The lady took my measurements in 3 places as she did at the start and noted down them one by one. Above belly button I lost 5cm!!!! On belly button I lost 2cm and below I lost 1cm. Apparently that's very good results. Despite this I couldn't visibly SEE the difference but I guess it was there! I then went to the gym for 40 minutes burning 250calories to get the fat mobilised and got rid of quickly.
They recommend 8 treatments spread out over 2 weeks each but I can't afford to pay the full price. However, it would definitely be something I would recommend to people who have a spare $800 rolling around, have been eating healthy, exercising for some time and have a stubborn area of fat that they just cannot shift. I was told that you might not get great results if you were obese and tried this treatment and it is best to work off the bulk fat with a exercise regime and healthy eating first.
Having said all that, do you know what I did after I finished?
I went and bought Mcdonalds because I was starving and it was late. MMM big mac!
You can check out some photographs of results HERE on the Fernwood Fitness website.
They do not tell you how many treatments these women have had but I would say they have had the full course of Cell-IQ and gym sessions to have such dramatic results so don't think after one treatment you will lose 2 dress sizes!
Remember the cm loss is the 3 measurement losses added together. For example, above, on and below belly button losses added to make a total. I am warning you because I was a bit deceived in thinking it was going to be 6cm from one single measurement.
So if you have seen a deal going around and you are not sure if you should part with your money, I would say just do it and try it. You'll get a work out if you go to a Cell-IQ at a gym anyway so that's always a good thing.
Go and try it for yourself!
Go and try it for yourself!

ReplyDeleteIf you're desperately trying to squeeze in workouts and avoid your favorite high-calorie treats, it can seem like there's nothing pain-free about it.If the word "exercise" inspires you to creative avoidance, then avoid it. Maybe the trick to enjoying a workout may be to never call it working out. I found a very effective weight lose product . Am using this and belive my guyz i lose many pounds within few weeks.
It is a total WASTE OF MONEY. I did 6 sessions and paid around $92 -$96 for every session on top of my $160 deposit. When the girls took my measurements after the sessions it showed just 1cm less nothing much but when i measured at home, no difference. I watched what i ate, exercised, ran, but nothing. I stopped going and told them I was busy and would get back to them. One day after two months, a girl at Fernwood called and said that I owed them money for two sessions. I told her I am not willing to get remaining two sessions as its no good for me so she replied that by LAW I had to pay for the two remaining sessions and asked me if i could pay over the phone without even asking about the treatments. I argued and even went to see the paperwork where it mentioned that I am willing to take 8 sessions and nothing clearly about the payments. Out of frustration I got the session and paid them to shut their mouth. I will have another session next week and will throw money as it is such a waste of money. Told all my friends and no one is going there ever!
