Anne Penman Laser Therapy & Weight Loss Center

Relocates to 8510 Perry Highway in McCandless Township

Also Adds Infrared Body Wrap System to Treatment Options

PITTSBURGH, PA-Anne Penman Laser Therapy & Weight Loss Center has relocated from Foster Plaza in Green Tree to 8510 Perry Highway in McCandless Township. The new location has also added a portable infrared body wrap system to its weight-loss treatment options.

“We found that our growing client base includes many individuals that live in the northern suburbs. Our new location offers quicker access for them. In addition, clients from other areas of Allegheny and surrounding counties can still easily reach us from Interstate 79,” said Kevin Byrne, co-owner of Anne Penman’s Pittsburgh location along with his wife, Maria.

Laser therapy is a well-established therapeutic technique with a wide range of medical applications. The Anne Penman program utilizes a cold, soft laser that painlessly stimulates parts of the body associated with nicotine craving, weight gain and stress. Targeting energy points in the hands, ears, nose and wrists, the laser therapy works by increasing endorphins in the body.

The new infrared body wrap unit uses six treatment pads that are placed on the thighs, hips, abdomen and arms. The high-density silicone pads evenly distribute the infrared heat, allowing it to penetrate the body’s epidermis, muscles and fat stores, going down to the bone to promote increased blood circulation, boosting metabolism and energy consumption.

 It is designed to improve the appearance of cellulite, and help with body shaping and contouring.  Additional benefits include pain relief and skin rejuvenation.

Unlike body wrap treatments that require time for the wrapping and unwrapping of bandages, the pads are designed to be wrapped around the body in less than two minutes. It also is non-invasive, allowing clients to have complete modesty with no need for disrobing prior to wrapping.  Each treatment itself lasts about an hour, burning an average of 970 to 1,460 calories per session.

“We believe by using the infrared body wrap system in combination with our existing laser therapy, we can assist virtually every client with their weight-loss goals,” said Mr. Byrne.

Headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland, Anne Penman Laser Therapy has locations around the world, including the United Kingdom, Mexico, Turkey, Israel and the Philippines. It has more than 20 centers across the United States, which operate under a required independent institutional review board sponsored by Anne Penman Laser Therapy.
