When you want to get rid of excess body fat, diet and exercise may not be enough. Your genetic makeup dictates where you will accumulate and store a few extra ounces and pounds of body fat over your lifetime, and these deposits can become resistant to any type of diet or lifestyle changes. Liposuction and laser fat removal procedures offer a few options for getting rid of excess fat for good. The Zerona low-level laser is one of the first noninvasive fat removal procedures on the market and is still very popular today.
Zerona is a revolutionary new weight-loss procedure that uses cool-laser technology to non-invasively eliminate fatty tissue deposits in the body. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, Zerona is a comparable alternative to liposuction, without the recovery time and side effects usually associated with surgical weight-loss procedures. The Zerona procedure involves exposing treatment areas to the laser, which encourages fat cells to release the fat into the body, where it is absorbed and eliminated naturally. This process results in the loss of weight amounting to significant loss of inches from abdominal and leg areas in particular.

Proper Criteria for being a Zerona Candidate

Because the procedure is non-invasive, many people are able to undergo Zerona treatments. The best candidates for Zerona fall into one of two categories: either people who have established a healthy lifestyle and are seeking to lose the last few pounds separating them from their goals, or individuals who would like to use Zerona to accelerate their path to weight-loss and healthy living. Talk to your specialist about your particular eligibility.

What areas does Zerona improve?

• Stomach
• Love-handles
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Arms
• Chin

Contraindication

People who are obese, or are looking for a way to lose weight without changing their lifestyle may not get the results they are looking for with Zerona. Because the Zerona procedure “empties” fat cells rather than physically removing them, it is possible for them to “fill up” again with more fat if a healthy diet and exercise regimen is not maintained. Also, if you are pregnant or wear a pacemaker, this procedure may not be for you.

Procedures

After discussing with your specialist your goals and target-areas, you will schedule a series of six, 40-minute treatment sessions over a two-week period of time. During these treatments, a low-level or cold laser is applied toward the treatment area, though nothing will touch your skin. While you relax comfortably (there is no pain associated with the treatment), the laser liquefies the fatty material held within the fat cells, which is then released through tiny, temporary pores the laser creates in the cell membrane to allow the liquid fat to leak into the interstitial area of the body. From there, the lymphatic system absorbs, processes, and eliminates the liquid fat along with other unwanted bodily fluids, leaving the fat cells undamaged yet emptied of their plump cargo, resulting in the loss of inches from your body mass.

Post treatment impact

There is no recovery time associated with Zerona, since it is completely non-invasive and doesn’t require healing. While there are typically no limitations on your activities during or after the treatment process, your specialist may recommend that you increase your water intake and potentially maintain a supplement regimen during the treatment process, in order to support the lymphatic system

Risks

Because Zerona is non-invasive, requires no anesthetic, incisions, or dermal trauma there are no true risks associated with it. If you are pregnant or wear a pacemaker this procedure may not be for you
