‘Make That Body’ With Lipo Light Imaging Body Sculpting Treatments

By Matt Wiley

It’s that time of year again. New Year’s resolutions are upon us, and after all of that holiday indulging, it might be time to shave off a few pounds with the newest weight-loss product in the New Tampa area: the Lipo Light Imaging Body Sculpting System.

Brought to the area by New Tampa resident Geoff Rocque, 31, and Lutz resident Jessica Rueff, 32, through their company, known as “Make That Body,” Lipo Light is now offered at Namasté Yoga Studio’s Harmoni Spa, located on S.R. 54 in nearby Lutz.

Lipo Light is one of three LED Light Therapy consumer home-use products designed by Innovative Photonics, a United Kingdom-based company specializing in LED Light Therapy. The company’s website says that LED Light Therapy uses light-emitting diodes to produce specific wavelengths of light that create a beneficial physiological response in the human body.

“Lipo Light Imaging is the very first LED red-light-based system for body sculpting, contouring and lymphatic drainage,” says Rueff. “It harnesses the power of light therapy to trigger the body’s own natural ability to burn fat and also visibly reduce inches from all around the body.”

The Lipo Light machine consists of eight pads, each with a total of 25 LED lights. These pads are applied for 30 minutes to target areas on the client’s body, basically any of the areas the client wants to slim down.

“The pads emit a specific wavelength of light (635 nanometers) which allows the fat cells to release fatty acids and glycerol through a process called lipolysis,” Rocque explains. “The fat cells are then burned off during exercise, helping to produce faster results in the gym.” Make That Body’s website also says that the heat and light given off by the pads stimulates that release of energy in the body.

Rueff explains that, when paired with a healthy lifestyle, Lipo Light is the new and natural slimming and toning alternative to invasive surgery.

But, Rueff also warns that Lipo Light isn’t an “easy way out.” In fact, vigorous exercise is still a key factor in the Lipo Light process.

“After each treatment, the client needs to burn between 300-500 calories,” Rocque says. “If the client doesn’t work out after the treatment, the fat that was released during the treatment will just be reabsorbed back into the body. Exercise is very important.”

Rueff says that the biggest advantage of using Lipo Light for weight loss is that it is non-invasive and easy.

“With Lipo Light, there is no bruising, swelling, burning or pain and no anesthesia required,” she explains. “Essentially, there is no downtime and no side effects. The treatment achieves far greater results compared to low-level laser light systems, and is much more cost effective.”

Rueff adds that Make That Body’s main goal is to create a customized plan of action for each of their clients, helping them to reach their personal goals the natural way, by offering nutritional advice and a workout regimen tailored to each client’s lifestyle, along with the Lipo Light treatment.

“You can see results in as little as one treatment,” Rueff explains. “But, for optimal results, we recommend clients buying a package of ten sessions. Results vary from person to person, depending upon how many inches the client wants to lose.”

In the spirit of the holidays, Make That Body is running a special through January, offering ten-session packages at a $200 discount.

Kristie, a Make That Body client who lives in Tampa, says that the results are definitely worth the effort.

“”I have seen great results and have already dropped a full dress size in the short time I’ve used Lipo Light,” she says. “The staff has been so wonderful and supportive. They truly create an enjoyable, spa-like experience. I look forward to the personal attention and guidance from Jessica to help me reach my ideal look.”

Making Make That Body

Rueff says that she started Make That Body with Rocque after spending eight years in the hospitality industry (before taking time off to be a stay-at-home mom and raise her three daughters). She holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando in Hospitality Management.

“I wanted to get back into the workforce, but I didn’t want my schedule to interfere with my children,” she explains. “Being a mom, I understand that after having children, your body goes through changes and it is easy to become self-conscious about those changes.”

Rueff adds that she was “blown away” when she was first introduced to Lipo Light by her mother-in-law, a licensed aesthetician of 30 years who saw incredible results, first-hand, from using the light therapy system.

Rueff joined forces with Rocque in August 2012, when Make That Body was born. Rueff says she chose to partner with Rocque because of his experience in corporate hospitality and his medical background. Rocque holds an emergency medical services (EMS) degree from Brevard Community College and most recently spent five years working as a manager for Southern Wine and Spirits of America. Vanessa Saucedo also was hired as a treatment specialist who works directly with clients.

Rueff says that partnering with the Namaste Yoga studio also was a natural for Make That Body.

“We could not have found a better partner,” says Rueff. “The owner of the studio shares the same philosophy and ideas as we do,” says Rueff. “Namaste brings the same kind of personal dedication to their clients’ individual needs and goals as we do.”
