Finally…Choose Where You Lose!

No Pain. No Downtime. No Crazy Diet. Fast Results.

Would you like to drop a dress size? How about lose 3 inches in your abdomen area, guaranteed? If you’ve been looking for fast results without dramatically changing your lifestyle, the Slim Light is just what you’ve been waiting for!

What is Slim Light Body Sculpting?

Slim Light Body Sculpting uses infrared LED light paddles to spot-reduce fat on any area of the body where you wish to lose inches. The LED light opens the wall of the fat cell, releasing its contents and shrinking it down, making you lose inches and eliminating the possibility of uneven fat redistribution.

What makes the Slim Light System Different?

Traditional liposuction, Laser Lipo and CoolSculpting all remove, zap, freeze and essentially eliminate fat cells from your body. Although you may never again gain an inch in the area that you treated, you are likely to experience uneven fat redistribution if you gain weight again. Fat redistribution can make you look disproportionate and can ruin the figure you have achieved. The Slim Light only shrinks your fat cells, so if you gain weight in the future, you will not experience uneven fat redistribution.

Who qualifies?

During your consultation, your Slim Light Consultant will ask you some questions to determine if you qualify to use the system, evaluate certain factors to determine the number of sessions you will need to reach your goals, and review any contradictions that may interfere with your treatments or results. FOR A LIMITED TIME, WE ARE OFFERING A $29 TRIAL SESSION WHICH INCLUDES YOUR FREE, NO OBLIGATION CONSULTATION! Book your consultation today at 855-58-BSLIM! Slim Body Beauty Spa is located at 1043 Bern Rd., Wyomissing (inside Baja Beach Tanning Club).
