Four 8-minute positions

You rest on the treatment table while the red-light panel is positioned over the front, left side, back, and right side.

Light, not an applicator

The panel stays near the body. There are no needles, suction, freezing, or induced muscle contractions.

Body contouring—not weight loss

UltraSlim may reduce circumference in a treated area. It does not treat obesity or produce meaningful overall weight loss.

The treatment in plain language

Low-level red light delivered around the body

UltraSlim Professional uses a large LED panel positioned near the body. During a full 32-minute contouring session, the panel delivers four 8-minute exposures while you move from front to side to back to side. The light is non-thermal, so the experience is different from fat freezing, radiofrequency heating, or muscle stimulation.

The device

UltraSlim Professional, a 635 nm low-level visible red-light system.

The session

Four 8-minute exposures for a total treatment time of 32 minutes.

The intended areas

Localized circumference goals involving the waist, hips, and thighs.

The boundary

Aesthetic body contouring—not obesity care, meaningful weight loss, or a guaranteed transformation.

The photos on this page show the UltraSlim treatment experience. Protective eyewear is required, and individual response varies.

Your treatment plan

From free consultation to reassessment

The process begins with a specific body-contouring goal, includes safety screening, and ends with an honest review of your response.

  1. 1

    Choose the area

    Tell us whether your concern involves the waist, hips, thighs, or another area you want evaluated.

  2. 2

    Complete screening

    Review your health history, medications, photosensitivity, implanted devices, pregnancy status, and the skin at the proposed treatment site.

  3. 3

    Complete the session

    Wear protective goggles and rest through four 8-minute light exposures as the panel is repositioned around the body.

  4. 4

    Review your response

    Discuss what changed, whether another session is appropriate, and how results and maintenance expectations apply to you.

Your 32-minute session

What the procedure actually looks and feels like

You remain awake and resting throughout treatment. The main experience is lying still under visible red light and changing position every eight minutes.

  1. 1

    Put on protective goggles

    You lie on the treatment table and wear eye protection before the LED panel is turned on.

  2. 2

    Position the light panel

    A team member positions the panel near—not on—the body. Low-level red light does not heat the skin or fat.

  3. 3

    Rotate through four exposures

    You complete 8 minutes on the front, left side, back, and right side for 32 minutes total. Tell the team about any discomfort or unexpected sensation.

Who it may fit

A localized contour goal and realistic expectations

UltraSlim may fit an adult seeking a non-surgical aesthetic option for an eligible area who understands that this is not weight-loss treatment.

  • Your goal involves localized circumference at the waist, hips, or thighs.
  • You understand that response varies and may be temporary.
  • You are willing to complete light-based treatment screening before scheduling.
  • You can follow the positioning, eyewear, and aftercare instructions for the session.

Safety screening

Tell us about light sensitivity and your health history

Low-level light treatment is not appropriate for everyone. WellForm reviews the FDA’s photobiomodulation precautions before treatment.

  • Pregnancy or plans for pregnancy.
  • A photosensitivity disorder or medication that makes you sensitive to light.
  • An active implanted device, such as a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator.
  • Skin cancer or a cancer history at the treatment site.
  • An active infection, wound, or lesion in the proposed treatment area.

Benefits and limitations

What red-light body contouring can reasonably support

FDA guidance says low-level light therapy may temporarily reduce circumference in the treated area. It also emphasizes that body contouring is not weight-loss or obesity treatment.

What treatment may support

  • A non-invasive option for a localized waist, hip, or thigh contour goal.
  • A 32-minute session without incisions, suction, freezing, or muscle contractions.
  • A structured before-and-after discussion based on your own response.

What treatment cannot guarantee

  • A specific amount of inch or fat loss.
  • Meaningful overall weight loss or treatment of obesity.
  • Permanent results or the same response for every patient.
  • Benefits for skin, mood, energy, pain, inflammation, or healing from this body-contouring plan.

Evidence and responsible care

The exact device and intended use matter

WellForm uses official device records and FDA safety guidance to keep the service specific. Dr. Patrick Oben leads the Ankeny clinic, and the team confirms candidacy before treatment.

  • FDA 510(k) K160880 identifies Photonica Professional as a 635 nm low-level red-light system for non-invasive aesthetic reduction of circumference at the hips, waist, and thighs.
  • The cleared protocol describes four 8-minute exposures—front, left side, back, and right side—for 32 minutes total.
  • FDA guidance says photobiomodulation does not heat skin or fat and may temporarily reduce circumference in the treated area.
  • Rare complications can include sensitivity, burns, skin-pigmentation changes, itching, nodules, or pain.
  • The clearance does not establish durable results; weight gain or enlargement of fat accumulations can still occur afterward.
