There was once a need to have surgery when a person wanted fat removed. That is still an option, (ie. abdominoplasty or liposuction) but with new breakthroughs, it is slowly becoming a thing of the past. That all changed in August 2010 when Zerona got FDA approved as a fat-loss and inch-loss laser treatment. The approval was for “long-term fat reduction.” It is the first and only laser approved for long-term fat reduction. The main study performed without any weight reduction techniques only the Zerona resulted in a cumulative average loss of 3.64 inches from their waist, hips, and thighs.
If you would like to possibly lose up to a dress size, a few waist sizes, or have your clothing fit better then the first thing you should do is come in for a consultation. During the consultation, it will be determined if Zerona is indeed for you and then a procedure can be set up. For small bulges, see us for Zeltiq treatment. For comparison between Zeltiq and Zerona see which procedure is right for you. Of course, we also perform the invasive procedures like liposuction and abdominoplasty.
When you come in for Zerona treatment, there is little need for prepping. Zerona breaks down your fat with nominal to no sensation removing the possibility of scarring, bruising, infection, pain, and other complaints that can come from surgery. The treatment lasts about an hour, and then you can go back immediately to your normal routine unlike surgery.
Since its approval from the FDA in August of 2010, Zerona has proven to be a safe alternative to surgery. Zerona is also safe from surgical side effects such as bruising, scarring, swelling or possible damage to surrounding tissue.
