Zerona laser body contouring goes beyond weight loss.

The procedure improves digestive and metabolic health. This means longer lasting results and better quality of life overall.

• ➤ How long before I start to see results? Most patients lose 0.5 to 2 inches even after the first treatment, with subsequent treatments producing even better results.
• ➤ How long do the results last?  The results obtained by using the Zerona can be long-lasting, especially when used along with changes in diet and exercise.  We have noticed that people who receive low level laser therapy have improved energy, sleep, and a reduction in inflammation systemically, which makes it easier to implement diet and lifestyle changes.
• ➤ Does it hurt?  The Zerona is a class two laser, which means it doesn't put out enough power to heat or burn tissues.  It works via the interaction of the light beam with the membrane of the fat cells.
• ➤ How much downtime is required after treatments?  None.  In fact, patients are encouraged to move and be active after treatments because this improves the results of the treatment.
• ➤ How does the Zerona compare with Coolsculpting and liposuction?  The Zerona opens up a pore in the fat cells under the skin,  allowing the fat they contain to move into circulation to be burned as energy. Coolsculpting aims to destroy the fat cells, which is painful, and can create inflammation and bruising.  Liposuction is basically a removal of fat and fat cells from the body.
• ➤ Will the fat that is released by this treatment be re-deposited somewhere else in the body as it is with liposuction or CoolSculpting?  No, with the Zerona laser body contouring procedure, the fat cells aren't killed or removed, they are just reduced in size.
• ➤ What are the risks associated with the use of the Zerona? Unlike the pain, bruising, and scar tissue that can be caused by CoolSculpting, and the scar tissue, and risk of pulmonary or cerebral embolism (stroke) with liposuction, the main considerations when using low-level laser therapy are:
  • • long term exposure to the eyes may damage eyesight (so we use protective glasses)
  • • Interactions between low level laser therapy with cancerous lesions are unknown, so we avoid areas known or suspected to be cancerous.

• ➤ Is this treatment compatible with tattoos, sun-exposed skin (sunburn), jewelry, and artificial tans?  Yes, the Zerona laser body contouring procedure can be safely used if a patient has tattoos or a tan (artificial or natural).  Jewelry may have to be removed due to its capacity to reflect light, which would decrease the treatment's effectiveness.
• ➤ How long do the treatments take? The treatment time is 40 minutes per session (20 minutes on the front and 20 minutes on the back). Patients tend to get the best results when doing 6-12 treatments over 2-8 weeks.
