Clinical Trial Summary

The trial was designed to provide empirical evidence with which to compare the efficacy and safety of the invisa-RED Technology Elite Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) device with a sham device as a placebo, when both are used in the treatment of individuals to reduce body fat and improve body aesthetics. At the conclusion of the trial; the change in body fat percentage, the change in total body fat in pounds, and total inches lost of the two groups were statistically analyzed to determine the efficacy of the invisa-RED Technology Elite when used for body fat (adipose tissue) loss and/or aesthetics therapy.


Clinical Trial Description

The trial was designed to prove the efficacy and safety of the invisa-RED Technology Elite Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) device. The trial compared results between two groups; the first group was treated using a fully functional invisa-RED Technology Elite device; this group was designated the Usual Care Group. The second, a control group, was treated utilizing a nonfunctional invisa-RED Technology Elite device; this group is referred to as the Sham Group.The sham device consisted of an invisa-RED Technology Elite device that will appear to operate as the Usual Care Group device to the operator and participants, but the laser diodes will be disabled and will receive no power providing a placebo effect. If staff or a participant questions the efficacy of the sham device, an assertion may be made that only a near infrared, non-visible frequency of light, is being employed. The trial was conducted employing a double blind study methodology; participants were randomly assigned to each group through a drawing, neither participants nor clinicians knew to which trial group they were assigned. To ensure the double blind; treatment for the two groups occurred separately using clinicians exclusive to each group. A simplified weight loss protocol was employed based on the "Consultation Protocol" from the invisa-Red Training Manual. All study participants received nine (9) therapy sessions of 20 minutes each; power settings were based on the participants Fitzpatrick Scale skin type. For skin types i and ii a power setting of 7 was used, for skin types iii and iv a power setting of 6, for skin types v and vi a power setting of 4 was employed. At the conclusion of the nine (9) therapy sessions; the change in weight of body fat, body fat as a percentage of total body weight, and inches lost of the two groups were statistically analyzed to determine the efficacy of the invisa-RED Technology Elite as a therapy to reduce adipose tissue. The occurrence of any medical errors were documented and included in the statistical analysis. ;
