LipoZap: I have not used or performed treatments with lipozap, but it involves the application of infrared heat technology and a radio frequency massage device. The idea behind this treatment is that the heated massage rollers are used on skin, & the heat and rf waves are used to manipulate tissues to try and release stored body fat. As with any procedure its good to check reviews and read up on it first.

Combination treatmen: Lipozap can be used on any part of the body and the procedure involves the use of a velasmooth anti cellulite machine, infrared heat and radio frequency (rf) waves. The device massages the skin and the heat and rf waves break down the fat cells under the skin. And then the fat-dissolving drug phosphatidylcholine is administered to the patients.

Waste of time: It's a combination of velashape and mesotherapy injections under the skin. While velashape can be useful for cellulite (temporary), and a little skin tightening, mesotherapy is unregulated and not fda approved. There is no science to show that lipozap will help you lose fat or inches. It's not a replacement for liposuction. Coolsculpting is better.
