RETAIL CUSTOMERS

History

Laser Lipo Ltd was established 2007 specifically to market and retail laser machines into the beauty and aesthetic market place.

In the beginning of 2008, Laser Lipo launched the first Class 3B laser machine for non invasive inch-loss in both the U.K and in the Middle East region.

The Lapex BCS was very well received by the market and achieved tremendous media coverage in both regions. In the Autumn of 2008, the effects of the credit crunch took hold and it became clear that the company needed to introduce a more flexible device. A machine that could have an entry level price that was significantly lower and more affordable, options to be able to both upgrade and have the ability to provide a range of treatments, rather than just inch-loss.

Laser Lipo has spent the last year developing such a machine and is now proud to bring to market the STRAWBERRY range of class 3B laser machines.
