ZERONA laser treatments are your best option

David Hansen, MD answers: Liposuction alternatives - what works best?

Have zilch interest in undergoing full liposuction surgery procedure. The cost, pain, recovery etc are not appealing. i read about lots of lipo alternatives that dont require so much of investment in money and risk. Can someone explain these, pros/cons.

The tumescent technique liposculpting with the micro canulas are safe, easy and quick recovery with the most impressive results but it is still liposuction. Most patients go through it just fine and are amazed at how it was so different than what they saw on tv for liposuctions. An alternative to liposuction is the Zerona laser. 

Zerona is the newest most amazing treatment we have had in years. It is a noninvasive, nonsurgical, no injections, no pain involved series of 6 treatments over a 2 week period that actually works but only on thin or small areas. It may be just what you are looking for. Cost is $3000 and there is no down time at all. Lipodissolve is where various chemicals are injected into the fat layer to dissolve the fat but rarely works and is not done much anymore. 

Good Luck!

A: Non surgical fat removal as an alternative to liposuction

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD

Liposuction is a safe procedure with minimal downtime compared to a tummy tuck or body lift procedure. Newer treatments such as Ultrashape are thought to expand the field of nonsurgical fat reduction by using an external device to reduce fat stores. This is still pending approval by the FDA.
