A Laser That “Melts” Fat

Picture via Etrans Medical LasersWe have heard the promises before. A magic machine that can melt fat away. It looks like researchers are still working on this goose that lays golden eggs.

They haven’t developed an effective treatment yet, but they are still looking for it:

“While this laboratory research sounds exciting, we are a long way from knowing whether or not laser therapy of this nature could be developed into an effective treatment.” – Judy O’Sullivan, of the British Heart Foundation

Every time I used to see ads for pills or machines that were supposed to “melt” away the fat, I turned away from them. I didn’t want to have to take a pill for the rest of my life. I have always wanted to find the way to live healthy and slim. I don’t want to have to go in for laser surgery every couple of months to excise the damage I did to my body. I want to eat healthy and exercise moderately so that I can be slim on my own.

If the scientists ever find a way to “melt” fat, I’ll probably just walk on by, even though it means I have to continue watching my food and keeping active. I don’t want to be dependent on some scientists’ expensive laser therapy.

    VH Melville Says: April 14th, 2006 at 5:45 pm I heard of this. Maybe it would work for some people who failed at everything else. It scares me a little though. Where will the fat go? Will it into the blood stream and strait to the heart? Will it go through the bowels?

    I wish I could say that I would just walk on by. I would love to go weeks without thinking about what to eat and without exercising. I could get so much more done. But instead, I will continue working on the above and accept that I can’t do everything in one day.
