"I'm sitting under a red lamp and this red light therapy helps you target the areas that you want to slim down. I think it melts fat, in fact," MJ said in a video on Instagram Stories yesterday, February 6. "I'm going to do a total of six sessions and you really do get results."

According to Body Contourz's website, this is called UltraSlim light therapy treatment, with light positioned several inches above the treatment area. UltraSlim claims this light is used to "stimulate and shrink fat cells." 

"After the red light therapy, we do vibration plate (10 minutes)," MJ explained after her light treatment.

"It's the easiest thing you can ever do. Literally I have to sit and relax for eight minutes," MJ said in her video. "It's very relaxing and it's fun."
