Applied Medical Technologies, Modesto

The experts at Applied Medical Technologies—led by owner Gerald Hughes—encourage their patients to view fat cells as rechargeable batteries. Sometimes, they're full; sometimes, they're empty and ready to be filled. It all depends on diet, exercise, and a cutting-edge third factor: i-Lipo. The team specializes in the low-level-laser treatment, which prompts fat cells to release their contents sans exercise, slimming circumferences and spot treating hard-to-tone areas. The treatment also achieves its effects without injections or downtime, so patients can go straight to the office afterward and bench-press their desks.
