IMPORTANT WARNING FDA stamp of approval is needed –
Beware of Cheap Machines from China There is a lot of misleading information about what (if any) FDA approvals are required for laser and laser-like fat loss machines. Part of that may be because there are different levels of FDA approval required depending on the particular machine and the intended use.
BUT…regardless of the type of machine and what it is used for, FDA approval IS REQUIRED for all machines that are used in a business setting.
There are SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES to using any machine that does not carry the required FDA approvals, including…
1. Fines and other penalties imposed by the FDA
2. Possible penalties from State Licensing Boards
3. Risk of lawsuits from clients and patients
If you risk using a machine that is not FDA approved, you will almost certainly be reported (by competitors or unhappy patients if the FDA themselves don’t find you out). It’s no exaggeration to say that you are risking your business, your reputation and your personal financial security.
Especially be wary of machines made in China. None of the cheap machines imported from China are FDA approved (one of the reasons for their low cost).
And beware of “rebadged” machines, in other words where a US company is importing machines from China and re-selling them under a local name or brand. In most cases these machines are NOT approved by the FDA and that will cause you BIG PROBLEMS.
It’s understandable that cheap machines might appear to be worth considering. But the LEGAL FEES alone involved in dealing with an FDA action will vastly exceed the cost of a reputable, approved laser or laser-like machine.
In any case, it’s a FALSE ECONOMY to choose a laser or laser-like fat loss machine simply on the basis of low initial cost. As you will discover in this Special Report, factors such as the True Cost To Own and Total Revenue Potential are far more important to your business success.
So…it’s simply NOT WORTH THE RISK to gamble with a machine that is not FDA approved.

PART 1 - 27 Questions To Ask Before Investing In A
Non-Invasive Laser Lipo/Body Contouring Machine In this section are listed 27 questions you MUST answer for yourself BEFORE you make any investment in a laser lipo device.
For your convenience, these questions are grouped into 5 main categories…
1. Legal And Safety Issues
2. Service Support And Machine Quality
3. Effectiveness Of Treatment
4. Training And Support
5. Marketing Support
Section 1 - Legal And Safety Issues Q. Does your state licensure allow you to use a Class 3b laser for pain and inflammation? Are
you permitted to conduct weight loss programs?
If yes to both, you are clear to proceed.
Look For: State approvals
Q. What are the potential side affects and risks of the machine?
Non-invasive laser-like lipo and laser lipo machines have ZERO known side effects and the technology has been in use since 1994. The technology is safe because the treatment does not cause any damage to cells.
In contrast, other technologies do cause cellular damage. For example, known potential side effects from Cavitation and Radio Frequency machines are burning, scaring, bruising, dissolved gasses being released into the system, difficulty breathing, dizziness, nausea, disorientation and more
Look For: Proven technology with NO known side effects (Choose Laser-Like Lipo or Laser Lipo)
Q. Is the unit FDA cleared?
ANY machine that will be used to treat human beings MUST receive FDA approval.
There is no ambiguity about this, contrary to what you may hear elsewhere. To be sure, depending on the technology involved, there are different levels of approval required.
6 6
The Complete Practitioner’s Guide To Laser Lipo Machines And Systems – Which One Is Right For You?
Page 6
Copyright 2018 Vevazz™ LLC, all rights reserved
At the end of the day, however, whatever the device, if it is going to be used for treatment of human beings, there MUST be a formal FDA approval.
If you come across any claims that a unit does not need to be FDA approved, that is a BIG RED FLAG. Sooner or later, the device will come to the attention of the FDA and serious consequences will result.
Look For: Explicit confirmation of FDA approval
Section 2 - Service And Quality Q. What is the build quality of the machine?
Some of the body contouring machines on the market are really cheaply made. Look carefully at the quality of screens, connection cords and the diodes. You do NOT want cheap screens, cheap connection cords or cheap diodes. Poor build quality leaves a poor impression on your clients and would not be consistent with your professional reputation.
Look For: Professional-level build quality
Q. Does your machine come with at least a 1 year warranty?
If not, you need to understand how much it typically costs for repairs if the machine breaks down. Some repairs can be a few thousand dollars while others can be upwards of $10,000 or more.
Look For: AT LEAST a 1 year warranty
Q. If it does come with a warranty, what about after the warranty is over?
Many machines have high servicing costs after the warranty period is over. Even worse, in some cases there is no guarantee of service and support being available.
Make sure you check on the availability of service and support over the expected life of the machine.
Look For: Long term availability of service and support
Q. Does the machine come with someone who can service it?
Amazingly, there are some machines on the market that the local distributors will NOT provide service for. In that case you would need to find someone to service the laser-like or laser lipo device and you may even need to source spare parts yourself. This could be a major problem and is best avoided
Look For: Local, reliable service
Q. If the device breaks down, are you without a machine while it is getting fixed?
If so, you are losing income on top of the price of the system, because you cannot see patients. Not to mention people who are unhappy with your services.
Look For: Replacement machine provided while repairs undertaken
7 7

Copyright 2018 Vevazz™ LLC, all rights reserved
Q. In the event of a breakdown, how long does it take to get it fixed?
If you have patients booked, you want to make sure you either that you get a replacement machine or that the turnaround time for repairs is only a day or two
Look For: Shortest possible downtime in the event of breakdown
Q. What are the ongoing costs associated with the machine?
Some machines have re-occurring costs associated with actually running them. This may include regular servicing. In addition, there will be the costs of replacing parts that wear out. These may or may not be covered under warranty.
Make sure you’re fully aware upfront of any ongoing costs.
Look For: Low ongoing costs
Section 3 - Effectiveness of Treatment Q. What is the average inch loss PER MEASUREMENT AREA?
Every manufacturer will quote figures for the inch loss achieved. HOWEVER to get a true picture of the effectiveness of a machine, you need to compare the figures on a CONSISTENT basis. The total fat loss achieved is fairly meaningless unless you take into account the number of measurement areas actually used.
For example, some companies use 12 measurement areas for the numbers they quote – some use 3. So make sure you know the basis of calculation and divide the total inches lost by the number measurement spots to get a clear picture of which machine performs the best.
Look For: Average inch loss per measurement area
Q. Do you have to do anything to maintain the fat loss?
Some treatment programs and machines require ongoing and repeated treatments to retain the results. While this may appear to be an advantage because patients will need extended treatment, in fact it usually works to your disadvantage. Patients tend to be dissatisfied and will usually look for alternatives.
Superior regimes involve an initial course of intensive treatment combined with a longer-term maintenance program, ideally involving just slightly better lifestyle choices.
Look For: Treatment that produces long term results
Q. What is the mechanism of action?
Radio Frequency and Cavitation type machines kill the fat cells. This means that if the patient does not change their lifestyle, they will regain the fat lost but in strange places like the back, knees and arms. This is because the fat has to go somewhere and the original fat cells no longer exist.
8 8
The Complete Practitioner’s Guide To Laser Lipo Machines And Systems – Which One Is Right For You?
Page 8
Copyright 2018 Vevazz™ LLC, all rights reserved
Non- invasive laser-like lipo and laser lipo machines naturally cause the fat cells to open up, release their contents, and shrink in size. Because the cells remain alive and healthy, if the patient gains fat again later, it will be in normal looking spots.
Look For: Laser-Like Lipo machines
Q. How many diodes does the machine have? Spread out over how much area?
The diodes are what produce the results. So the number of diodes determines both the time needed to treat and the effectiveness of the treatment. With more diodes you have better results. And the more spread out they are the less treatment time you need.
Look For: Larger number of diodes
Q. What is the treatment area of the machine?
Some machines have a 2 inch diameter of treatment area. Some have 2 square feet of treatment area coverage. The larger the effective treatment area, the less time for treatment and usually better results.
Look For: Large, effective treatment area
Q. What is the treatment time per any given area?
Some machines only have the active treatment over any given area for a minute or two total. Some machines have it constant for 10 minutes. Some machines split the beam, so it covers a larger area – but only for a split second at a time, because the rotating split beam is only over any given area for a second at a time.
Look For: Fast treatment time per area
Q. What is the treatment area of the machine per 10 minutes of time?
Some machines take literally 2 hours to treat an entire mid-section. Some take 20-40 minutes.
Look For: Fast treatment time. The more patients that can be treated per hour, the more revenue you can generate
Q. Does your machine kill or damage the fat cells?
Some machines like Cavitation and Radio Frequency involve freezing, cutting and other action that results in actually killing fat cells.
This can have serious consequences. If the patient regains fat, for example reverting to their old lifestyle, they will gain the fat back in unnatural places. For example, in the elbows, knees and back. The fat has to go somewhere and if some fat cells are dead, the body will put the fat elsewhere. This will result in an ugly, bizarre appearance and very unhappy patients.
Look For: Fat loss technology that mimics natural processes to avoid ugly side effects

Section 4 - Training And Support Q. What training comes with the machine?
Different companies and machines come with different training. Make sure the training you are going to get will be able to not only train you and your staff on how to use the machine, BUT also train you in how to run the business.
50% of all doctors are out of business 5 years after graduating, because they are taught technique but not how to run a business and make money
Look For: Comprehensive training INCLUDING business training
Q. What follow up training is provided if you hire additional staff later?
Do you have to pay for training again? Do you have something for the future staff to watch? How do they get trained?
Look For: A training program and resources that you and your staff can access and refer to as needed. Training DVDs are ideal
Q. What type of Certification do I get, if any?
Certification provides an assurance of standards and demonstrates to patients and the public your high professional standards. Ideally, look for ongoing training DVDs so you can train and certify all future employees as well.
Look For: Certification (including employees)
Section 5 - Marketing Support Q. What marketing support does the machine come with?
The harsh reality in business is that new patients don’t simply walk in the door like magic. To run a successful business and get a return on your investment with a laser lipo device, you need a system to attract new clients in a consistent, cost-effective way.
Fat loss and body contouring is a specialized market and you need the appropriate specialized marketing tools. In addition, you need to be able to maximize the revenue per client with a proven approach to selling your other services.
Look For: A proven marketing system to make sure you achieve an attractive return on your investment
Q. Does your laser lipo system come with a complete website for lead generation, information for potential new people, and video testimonials of how well the system works?
A professionally designed website that’s optimized for business is an essential part of any credible marketing plan. If this is not provided, you’ll have to find a capable web designer or do it yourself.
Look For: Professional website provided

Q. Does the marketing come with a turnkey Google Adwords campaign to bring in new people for peanuts with zero effort on your part?
Google Adwords is a highly effective way to bring new, well qualified people into your office.
BUT you MUST know what you’re doing otherwise you can end up wasting thousands of dollars.
Look For: A proven turn key Google Adwords advertising system
Q. Does the marketing system include ads that didn’t work, with explanations of why they didn’t work?
In business, it can be as useful to know what to AVOID as well as what actually works. It’s not always clear what kind of advertising will work so knowing the kind of mistakes to avoid in the specialist fat loss and body contouring market is very valuable
Look For: Clear guidance on what kind of advertising to avoid
Q. Does your laser lipo machine come with unlimited advertisement critiquing?
If so, is it by an experienced marketer who has run a successful fat loss business? If you run one ad and it doesn’t do well at all, it can cost you a lot of money. This will help you make all advertising you do, more cost effective.
Look For: Unlimited critiques of your advertising
Q. Does your laser lipo system come with training and a model for cross selling your other services such as chiropractic care?
Acquiring a new client is one of the most expensive tasks in business. So, it only makes sense that once a new patient has signed up for your fat loss and body contouring services that you make every effort to introduce them to other services.
There’s a right and a wrong way to do this so ensure the marketing training comes with a comprehensive and proven system you can apply in your practice.
Look For: An effective cross-selling and up-selling system

2.4 Investment Level Required And The True Cost To Own A MAJOR factor in any investment decision is, of course, the level of capital investment required. But it isn’t just the upfront cost, but the ongoing cost, and how much money you have in your bank at the end of the year. The “True Cost to Own” reflects all of those factors.
At first glance, the initial investment required is similar for two of the systems - $19,000 for the Lipo Light with a whole body vibration unit and a Neuro Change Technology module and $22,500 for the Vevazz™ Slim Line System (that includes the vibration unit and Neuro Change module as standard).
The base price for the Contour Light machine is $23,995 but an additional $4,500-6,000 is required to add a whole body vibration unit and additional pads to deliver full body treatment. Even that would leave the Contour Light machine with lower capability than the Vevazz™ Slim Line System.
The Advanced Photonics Ultra Slim™ machine requires a significantly higher investment than either at $50,000.
IN ADDITION…there is another factor to take into consideration. That is the very real value of the comprehensive and proven business system that comes as standard with the Vevazz™ Slim Line System.
Vevazz™ Slim Line System users report average monthly revenues of $22,400 per month ($268,800 per annum) with top performers enjoying over $100,000 per month ($1,200,000 per annum).
This means a VERY FAST PAYBACK period. In effect, the Vevazz™ Slim Line System is paid off free and clear (and delivering pure profit to the practitioner) well before any of the Lipo Light, the Advanced Photonics or Contour Light machines.
18 18

Put another way, for any of the Lipo Light, the Advanced Photonics Ultra Slim™ or the Contour Light machines to match what you get in the Vevazz™ Slim Line System would require a significant additional investment. That would make the effective cost of the Lipo Light closer to $75,000, the Advanced Photonics over $80,000 and the Contour Light closer to $50,000. That’s compared to $22,500 for the complete Vevazz™ Slim Line System.
This is a significant difference in the True Cost To Own. On this basis, the Vevazz™ Slim Line System is the superior choice by a significant margin.
NOTE: The investment levels and “True Cost To Own” for the Zernoa™, I-Lipo and Yolo/Meridian machines are included in the table a above for comparison purposes. These systems are reviewed in more detail in Part 3 below. As well as the “True Cost To Own”, another highly important factor in choosing the right machine is the “Total Revenue Potential”. Assuming a standard rate per treatment, then the more patients that can be treated, the greater the potential revenue you can achieve. And the shorter the treatment time (assuming equal effectiveness) the more patients you can treat. The following chart shows how many patients can be treated each year with the different machines… The Contour Light machine has the longest treatment time and as a result can only accommodate around 70 patients per year (similar to but less than the Lipo Light and Ultra Slim™ machines). That means the following Total Revenue Potential…

Contour Light has a similar Income Potential to the Lipo Light and Ultra Slim™ machines. On both measures (“True Cost To Own” and “Total Revenue Potential”) the Vevazz™ unit is clearly the better choice.

3.4 Investment Level Required A MAJOR factor in any investment decision is, of course, the level of capital investment required.
There is a surprising degree of variation in the amount required to get started with each of these machines.
The heavily-promoted Zernoa™ machine is expensive, as is the Strawberry™ machine (a hefty $80,000). The innovative Vevazz™ machine is the most affordable while also being the best overall performer (see below).
The Strawberry™ System requires a large initial investment of $80,000.

PART 4 - EDITOR’S CHOICE
The clear winner from our reviews is the Vevazz™ machine that is part of the Slim Line System.
The KEY factors in the ranking are… 1. Superior Service And Support Even the best machine is no good to you if it’s out of action leaving you with no revenue. With the Vevazz™ Slim Line System you get FAST service and a replacement machine if necessary.
In addition, with Vevazz™ Slim Line you get DIRECT email access to the principal of the company, Dr Jamie Fettig DC. This level of support is very impressive, compared to the more normal access to sales representatives who may only have limited experience.
In addition there is…
6 months of unlimited training for staff as well as practitioners
FREE lifetime updates
EXTRA training and updates 3 times a year at LIVE 3 day events
All up this means less downtime and greater efficiency, leading to more hours available to generate revenue.
2. Integrated Business System The Vevazz™ machine comes as part of a highly integrated business system, including a marketing system to attract prospects, convert them to paying customers and cross-sell other services.
This overcomes 2 of the biggest issues when investing in a machine of this nature…
Obtaining an attractive return on investment; and
Recovering the investment quickly.
Although other machines do come with some marketing support, it is limited and in no way compares with what you get with the Vevazz™ Slim Line System.
With Vevazz™ you get a proven lead generation and marketing system based on the actual campaigns used to launch the system.
You get tested ads and systems for multiple marketing channels, including strategies to pre-sell existing patients and leads. With this it’s feasible to raise $5,000-30,000 in a few weeks, in effect raising the finance for the system in advance from clients!

The VALUE of these “done-for-you” systems is considerable saving you time (you don’t have to spend countless hours discovering what works) and bringing in revenue FAST. They are a significant factor in determining the True Cost To Own of the respective systems.
More about this additional value in the next section.
True Cost To Own, Total Revenue Potential And Guarantee In a previous section we looked at not just the initial investment required, but also the “True Cost To Own” of the new generation Vevazz™ Slim Line System, the Lipo Light machine and the Advanced Photonics Ultra Slim™ device.
To recap, although the initial investment required is similar for two of the systems - $19,000 for the Lipo Light with a whole body vibration unit and a Neuro Change Technology module and $22,500 for the Vevazz™ Slim Line System (that includes the vibration unit and Neuro Change module as standard) - the comprehensive and tested business system that you get with Vevazz™ Slim Line makes it a superior choice and far better value.
Put another way, for the Lipo Light machine to match what you get in the Vevazz™ Slim Line System would require a significant additional investment. That would make the effective cost of the Lipo Light closer to $75,000(compared to $22,500 for the complete Vevazz™ Slim Line System).
The comparison with the Advanced Photonics Ultra Slim™ machine is even more favorable to the Vevazz™ Slim Line System. Not only is the initial investment required for the Ultra Slim™ a hefty $50,000, you would need to spend a total of over $80,000 to match the extra value delivered by Vevazz™ Slim Line.
It’s a similar picture with the Contour Light machine. The “True Cost To Own” is close to $50,000 and that’s without factoring in the cost of the lower revenue potential due to the longer patient treatment time. In effect, you would need to have THREE Contour Light machines to produce approximately the same revenue from ONE Vevazz™ Slim Line System.
Remember, the total investment required for the complete Vevazz™ Slim Line System is only $22,500 with nothing extra needed.
That’s a significant difference in the True Cost To Own. On this basis, the Vevazz™ Slim Line System is the superior choice by a significant margin.
When comparing the Vevazz™ Slim Line System to the older technology machines, the Zernoa™, I-Lipo, Yolo/Meridian and Strawberry™, the difference is even clearer.
Simply comparing the initial investment levels, the Vevazz™ Slim Line System is by far the better choice, even without taking into account the additional value of the proven business system included.
And that extra value is CONSIDERABLE…
Vevazz™ Slim Line System users report average monthly revenues of $22,400 per month ($268,800 per annum) with top performers enjoying over $100,000 per month ($1,200,000 per annum).
This means a VERY FAST PAYBACK period. In effect, the Vevazz™ Slim Line System is paid off free and clear (and delivering pure profit to the practitioner) well before any of the other systems reviewed.

Also…
…another key factor in the financial return achievable is the “Total Revenue Potential”.
Assuming a standard rate per treatment, then the more patients that can be treated, the greater the potential revenue you can achieve. And the shorter the treatment time (assuming equal effectiveness) the more patients you can treat.
The following chart shows how many patients can be treated each year with the different machines…
That means the following Total Revenue Potential…
The fast treatment time with the Vevazz™ Slim Line System means a considerable advantage over the other systems when determining the Total Revenue Potential.
FURTHER…the Vevazz™ Slim Line System comes with a quadruple performance guarantee that makes it a virtually unbeatable proposition.
