Why Don't More Doctors Do Zerona Laser Surgery?

Why aren't there much doctors who do Zerona laser surgery? Is there a danger to liver or gall bladder in the elimination of fat?

A: Zerona works but patients lose the benefit quickly.

Zerona does reduce fat a little bit but the improvements tend to disappear in a few months if patients don't keep exercising and dieting alot since it does not permanently get rid of fat cells.  Tumescent liposuction under local anesthesia with the micro canulas is still by far the best method of seriously getting rid of fat cells for good.  Sincerely,

Is Zerona Safe if You Are Trying to Get Pregnant?

I am not currently pregnant, but I do hope to be within the next year. I know that it is not a safe treatment while pregnant (which would be a silly thing to do while carrying a baby anyway!), and it is recommended not to do the treatment until after 6 weeks of giving birth. My concern is that it may have harmful effects to my reproductive system, or possibly to my future baby if I am pregnant within a few weeks or months of the treatment.

A: Zerona and Pregnancy

We always advise it is best to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding before having Zerona or any elective cosmetic treatments.  There has never been/ will never be studies on pregnant or breastfeeding women having Zerona.  I highly advise that you wait until you are deliver/finish breastfeeding.

Good Luck!

Can I Be on the Atkins Diet when Doing Zerona?

I know a person should be dieting so that the fat cells can leak, but what if I am on the Atkins diet? Will that just refill the fat cells?

A: Zerona and Adkins Diet...

Yes, this is not a problem.  The Adkins diet will not hinder the results of Zerona.  It is typical to have 6 to 9 treatments every 48 - 72 hour apart. 

Good luck.  Stick with it and you should see some results.
