Is Zerona Laser Treatment Painful? Does it hurt to get Zerona laser lipo? It seems to me the laser would burn if it is literally melting fat inside you. Do you need anesthesia for Zerona treatment?

A: Painless fat reductions

The Zerona process is a painless low level laser. The laser energy is tuned down to provide photonic stimulation only and is not a heat generating laser. Think of the different effects of photons stimulating plant cells to produce energy versus the heat of the Sun focused through a magnifying glass. The Zerona effects are not a result of thermal damage. The fat cells do not "melt", but respond by releasing excess lipids through a pore in the cell membrane. Because the cells are not damaged as the lipids are released, there is no apparent inflammatory reaction, and results are seen within several weeks.
