Fat Removal Laser Therapy

If you are the type who is always looking for the next best thing in weight loss look no further than Zerona®.  Zerona® offers fat removal using laser therapy. This non-invasive procedure requires no downtime like liposuction and no needles or cuts to worry about. Instead you can go about your daily routine right after your treatment.

Laser technology has been around for five decades and has been used in many fields to help with many different medical treatments. Zerona® was introduced in 2008 when it was used in conjunction with liposuction. Through its use with liposuction it was discovered that if used alone the client would still lose weight. So in August 2010, the FDA granted permission for Zerona® to be used by everyone looking to get rid of fat. Zerona® was approved after a case study involving 67 participants. The placebo-controlled study was a double-blind study conducted in multiple sites with a clinical evaluation. The results showed that the participants lost over 3 inches from their hips, thighs and waist. Zerona® is best for two types of people – those looking to jump-start their diet and those looking to get rid of the last pockets of fat.

Zerona® uses cold laser technology. It works by emulsifying fat so it can be excreted from the body. The laser light causes a hole to form in the fat cell weakening the fat cell support structure. The fat cell collapses and the fat will enter the blood stream where it is excreted by the body.

This new technology requires that you come into the spa every other day for two weeks. In the first visit you will not have the treatment but instead will have measurements taken. In the next visit you will be given protective glasses to wear and can relax and even talk on the phone during the procedure. Five lasers are placed 12 inches above the area to be treated. The sessions last 40 minutes with 20 minutes spent with you lying on your back and 20 minutes spent lying on your stomach. You should start noticing a difference in your body by around the fourth visit. Your clothing will begin to get looser. Zerona® is safe for almost everyone. The only ones who should not have the treatments are those who are pregnant and those who think they may be pregnant. You should also avoid the therapy if you have a pacemaker.

There are a few things you should do to during your treatments to help with emulsifying the fat. First, drink eight to ten glasses of water each day. Eat a diet low in fat but high in vitamins. Get exercise by walking at least 30 minutes per day. Avoid alcohol during the two-week treatment. Also, avoid caffeine.

The only FDA non-invasive way to get rid of fat is with the Zerona® fat removal laser therapy system. This innovative system will get you looking like you want without the down time associated with liposuction.

Fat Reducing Laser

Zerona® is the nations only FDA approved fat reducing laser. Imagine you have done the hard work of diet and exercise well now there is a way to get rid of those last few inches. Maybe instead you are looking for a way to kick-start a diet. Zerona can also help those who have reached the plateau in their diet and want to push themselves to the next level.

Zerona can be compared to liposuction in terms of effectiveness but that is it. In terms of healing time, liposuction will leave you tied up for some time. With Zerona you will have no down time and you can return to work or back to your normal activities following each session. With liposuction comes the risk of infection and scarring. Zerona® is a non-invasive fat reducing cold laser. With Zerona® there is no pain yet the procedure is so effective. The procedure is safe for everyone except those who have a pacemaker or those who are pregnant.

Prior to FDA approval Zerona® went through comprehensive research studies. These studies showed that participants lost over 4 inches each. This was from their thighs, hips and waist. This fat loss is comparable to what can be expected with liposuction.

Zerona® uses cold laser therapy. Five lasers are placed above the body over the problem areas. As the lasers are working they are breaking down the exteriors of the fat cells causing them to break and leak into the blood stream. The fat is then excreted as waste through the lymphatic system.

In order for Zerona® to be effective you must commit to appointments every other day for two weeks. When you come into our office on the first visit we will begin by taking starting measurements in order to see progress. We will also give you instructions to follow during this two-week period. During this time you should avoid all alcohol and caffeine. Consume a healthy diet. Get exercise by walking at least 30 minutes per day, as this will help rid the body of all toxins. Another way to get rid of the toxins in the body is by drinking eight glasses of water per day.

When you come in for your first treatment we will bring you into an area to get undressed. We will have you lie down on the table while wearing protective glasses to shield your eyes from the laser light. During the procedure, which lasts 40 minutes, you can relax or you can talk on the phone to loved ones or friends. Half the time will be spent on your back and the other half on your stomach; this will help target the correct areas.

Based on the research and the FDA approval you can see why Zerona® offers you the perfect way to get rid of fat from your body. As stated earlier there are no side effects as compared to liposuction. Does it really make sense to pay more and go through more to go through liposuction when the Zerona® Fat Reducing Laser can help you get rid of fat fast and easy?

Fat Removal WITHOUT Surgery

Most people seem a little astounded when you tell them it is possible to lose fat without surgery, without working out or doing anything active. Yet it is exactly what you will find when you come into a local Laser Spa and begin treatment with the Zerona® Fat Removal System. Now laser technology has been around since the 1960’s but it wasn’t approved for fat removal until August 2010 with a two year case study done on the Zerona® Fat Removal System.

In the double blind placebo study with sixty-seven participants, researchers found that participants that used Zerona® lost around five inches of fat off their body over a two week time span. The control group that did not receive any Zerona® treatments lost about half an inch of body over the same time frame. It was through this study the Food and Drug Administration approved the procedure for fat removal.

One of the best traits about the Zerona® Fat Removal System is that the procedure is noninvasive. That means there are no gels, cuts, incisions or bandages to deal with after your procedure. It is actually the norm for people to have a Zerona® procedure and immediately get on with their daily routine. This also means that the Zerona® Fat Removal System causes no pain in the treatment area, making it not only an easy way to jump start a weight loss program but also a very safe way to do so.

Many people use Zerona® for different parts of their weight loss process and so can you. Whether it is the last few inches you are looking to get rid of to finish off the process, or maybe you have hit a plateau in the middle of your fight against the fat or maybe as stated above you are just looking to get a head start on your new weight loss program. It doesn’t matter because our experienced staff has been trained to use all of the equipment associated with the Zerona® Fat Removal System.

The six treatments are given about 48hrs apart over a two week time frame. It is important to make all of your scheduled appointments because the Zerona® Fat Removal System causes a transitory pore to open up making it easy for the fat to leave the body through the lymphatic system.

When you come in for an appointment, you will be given a comfortable spot to lie down in. The procedure will take about forty minutes for session. During the session the five lasers will be strategically laid about twelve inches from the body in an overlapping pattern. One side is done in about twenty minutes, you will then be asked to roll to your other side-front to back etc. The lasers are put in place again the machine will run for twenty minutes before the cycle is completed. A great aspect of the Zerona® is that all of this can happen while you talk on your cell phone or sit relaxingly in a sit, listen to music or just hanging out. It is important to wear the safety glasses as they will protect your eyes from any harmful laser lights.

Your Fat Removal Options

When people think about losing weight, they ultimately come to the conclusion that it is not going to be easy. However that being said there are a variety of fat removal options out there. All of the options come with a potential benefits and most come with negative side effects. The choices include diet pills; laser skin therapy; injection lipolysis; a diet and exercise; radio frequency; and the Zerona Body Contouring System.

The use of diet pills became popular with the thought that you could take a pill and lose weight. This way you can avoid diet and exercise. Many of these pills use caffeine as a main component. It raises your heart rate and makes your body work hard. The pills also include an appetite suppressant as well. Another negative aspects of diet pills is an upset stomach and it can also affect other medications you take in a negative way. Some people even have allergic reactions to the pills as well.

Laser skin therapy can be effective as it can tighten up skin that sags. It also increases collagen production giving you smoother younger skin. This is necessarily used as fat removal device but is more of a skin enhancer, so it probably not the best choice for fat removal. Another form is injection lipolysis that works on fat sculpting and smoothing. This can cause allergic reactions, scarring and hardening of treatment areas. It can also cause hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation, which is a change in skin color from lighter to darker or darker to lighter. Radio frequency can lead to fat loss and tighter skin. The negative effects can include bruising or swelling. It can also lead to muscle damage.

The old standard for weight loss is diet and exercise which has proven effective for weight loss and building muscle. It will give you a healthier life and extend your life. If done properly it is a good way to lose weight, done with poor technique and the wrong equipment it can lead to injury. Any new exercise or diet program should be done under the supervision of a physician.

Lastly, one of the newest ways to lose weight is through the noninvasive fat removal option of the Zerona® Body Contouring System. Zerona® benefits include loss of about three and half inches of fat off the body over a two week time span. The procedure requires no incisions, gels, or bandages. You can walk out of the session and continue on with your daily routine. There are no real side effects and it is virtually pain free. It is very good way to get a head start on a weight loss program, lose the last the couple inches at the end of a program, or to get over a plateau when you can’t seem to lose much weight. Zerona® works by sucking the fat out of cells and pushing it our through the lymphatic system. Many see results within a week of the last treatment session. It is a safe and effective way to lose weight in a short period of time.

Zerona Cost

Zerona® Body Slimming System is an innovative way for people to lose inches of fat off their bodies. It almost seems hard to believe but it is true. The Zerona® Body Slimming System was approved by the FDA in August 2010 for the removal of fat from the body. The system works by emulsifying fat in the cells opening a transitory wall where the fat flows out of the cell into the lymphatic system, where it exits the body. The Zerona® Body Slimming System was approved by the United States government after a very intense two week double blind placebo controlled randomized study across the country. The results showed that the cold lasers used in the Zerona® Body Slimming System led to participants receiving the treatments to lose about three and half inches off their bodies.

The amazing thing is the participants did not change anything about the eating or exercise habits yet still lost almost four inches of fat from their body. The Zerona® Body Slimming System does range in cost depending on the part of the country you live in. The average range is from $1,800 to $3,000. Now this is lot of money for some people, but compared to liposuction you could be looking at thousands of dollars more for the same area.

So when people talk about Zerona® cost, there is really a number of different ways to look at it. There is the actually monetary cost of the procedure. There is also an emotional Zerona® cost. Can you really put a dollar amount on how good you will feel after losing a couple inches of fat off your body?  The Zerona® Body Slimming System has proven in studies to produce at least a 3.5” loss of fat from the body over the two week period. This is comparable to liposuction which will take about 3” of fat off your body.

There is also a physical Zerona cost involved too. Having liposuction done will cause you to feel pain and soreness after your procedure. You may even need to stay in a hospital overnight due to side effects. Zerona has no side effects and many people return to their daily routine after the procedure. Many people start to notice a difference within a week after their last sessions, some experience a change sooner.

If the Zerona® Body Slimming System helps you to jump start your weight loss program or work off the last few inches or even when you have hit a plateau on your current plan and need a little push in the right direction, then isn’t it worth any amount of money. If it causes you to change your unhealthy lifestyle is the money a real concern for you? No it isn’t and shouldn’t be, this is your life. Start taking control of your life by putting in the time with the Zerona® Body Slimming System.  So the real question is how much is your health worth and are you willing to take a chance on something that has already been proven effective by the FDA?
