Contour and red light therapy at Integrated Chiropractic uses the LipoMelt® device, which simultaneously emits two distinct wavelengths of therapeutic light — red light and near-infrared light — each serving a different biological function. Together, they work to reshape body contours, improve skin firmness, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s cellular energy systems.
This is a fully noninvasive, drug-free treatment with no downtime. Patients simply relax while the LipoMelt device delivers its therapeutic light to targeted areas of the body. Most patients describe the experience as warm and soothing — often likened to a comforting embrace.
How Red Light and Near-Infrared Light Work
Each wavelength used in the LipoMelt system at Integrated Chiropractic in Silverdale, WA has a distinct mechanism of action:
- Red Light: Penetrates beneath the skin to reach the underlying fat cells. The red light wavelength temporarily weakens fat cell membranes, causing them to become permeable and release a portion of their lipid contents. Your body’s lymphatic system then naturally processes and eliminates this released fat over the following days and weeks.
- Near-Infrared Light: Works at the cellular level, energizing the mitochondria — the powerhouses of your cells — to improve cellular function and recovery. It also stimulates your skin to produce more collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, smoother skin texture. Near-infrared light is additionally effective at reducing localized inflammation and supporting tissue healing.
This dual-action approach makes contour and red light therapy at Integrated Chiropractic uniquely effective for both aesthetic goals and therapeutic applications, including recovery support after sports injuries and car accident injuries.
Treatment Areas and What to Expect
Contour light therapy can be applied to multiple areas of the body where fat accumulation or skin laxity is a concern. Common treatment areas include:
- Jowls and lower face
- Upper arms
- Bra line and back fat
- Abdomen and waist
- Hips and love handles
- Buttocks and outer thighs
A standard treatment regimen at Integrated Chiropractic typically consists of 12 to 18 sessions, with two to three sessions per week. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes. For best results, Dr. Joseph recommends performing at least 10 minutes of light exercise immediately following each session to stimulate lymphatic clearance of released fat. Dietary modifications and hydration are also encouraged throughout the program.
Contour and red light therapy works best for patients who are at or near their target weight and looking to refine specific areas. It pairs exceptionally well with the Ideal Protein or ChiroThin weight loss programs and LipoMelt body sculpting for comprehensive body transformation results.
Therapeutic Benefits Beyond Body Contouring
While many patients come to Integrated Chiropractic for the body shaping benefits of red light therapy, the therapeutic applications of near-infrared light extend well beyond aesthetics. Near-infrared light therapy has been studied for its positive effects on inflammation reduction, wound healing, muscle recovery, and joint health. Dr. Joseph may recommend it as a complementary treatment alongside chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release, and corrective exercises to support overall recovery and musculoskeletal wellness.

Contour & Red Light Therapy FAQs
Is contour and red light therapy safe?
Yes. Contour and red light therapy using the LipoMelt® system is completely safe, noninvasive, and FDA-cleared. There are no needles, no anesthesia, no incisions, and no downtime. The light wavelengths used are therapeutic — not ultraviolet — so there is no risk of skin damage from radiation. Dr. Joseph evaluates each patient during their consultation to confirm they are a good candidate for the treatment.
How is red light therapy different from laser therapy?
Laser treatments use focused, high-intensity beams of light that can cut or damage tissue. Red light therapy uses broad, low-level light at specific therapeutic wavelengths that penetrate tissue without causing damage. The LipoMelt system at Integrated Chiropractic is designed to stimulate cellular function and release fat naturally — not to ablate or destroy tissue.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
Most patients complete a regimen of 12 to 18 sessions, scheduled two to three times per week. Some patients notice visible changes after just a few sessions, while the full benefit accumulates over the course of the complete treatment plan. Dr. Joseph evaluates your progress and may adjust your plan based on your results and goals.
Does contour light therapy permanently remove fat?
Contour light therapy causes fat cells to release their stored contents, which are then naturally cleared by the lymphatic system. The fat cells themselves are not destroyed. Maintaining results long-term requires a healthy diet, regular exercise, and appropriate hydration — all of which Dr. Joseph discusses with you during your consultation and throughout your program.
Can red light therapy help with pain and inflammation?
Yes. Near-infrared light has well-documented anti-inflammatory effects and supports cellular energy production and tissue repair. Dr. Joseph uses red and near-infrared light therapy not only for body contouring but also as a supportive treatment for patients recovering from sports injuries, soft tissue damage, and post-surgical inflammation at Integrated Chiropractic.
What should I do after a contour light therapy session?
Dr. Joseph recommends performing at least 10 minutes of light cardiovascular exercise immediately following each session to activate circulation and facilitate your lymphatic system’s clearance of released fat. Staying well hydrated, eating a clean diet, and minimizing alcohol consumption in the hours after treatment also help maximize results.
Can I combine contour light therapy with other treatments at Integrated Chiropractic?
Absolutely. Contour and red light therapy pairs well with the Ideal Protein or ChiroThin weight loss programs, LipoMelt body sculpting, corrective exercises, and chiropractic care at Integrated Chiropractic. Dr. Joseph designs an integrated plan tailored to your aesthetic and wellness goals for the most comprehensive outcome possible.
