Zerona: Q&A

How Effective is Zerona Laser?
I'm just wondering if it is worth spending $3000 on the Zerona laser. I'm 32,150 pounds and 5'9. I workout 5 days a week and eat 5 times a day. I count my calories but still have a little saddle bags the fat in the area have shrunk but not 100%.
I do have a 3 year old and so after having a child you don't snap back like you want to. I have done the Thermage on my stomach area but I'm not happy with the results and mind you it was a little painful. I want to get Zerona done but is it worth it? Thanks.

Marketing light years ahead of Clinical Research
The Zerona is a low level laser which is being promoted and used for body contouring. It works by causing a tiny puncture to the fat cell, which spews out its contents, which are then eliminated by normal body metabolism.
The Zerona laser is being very heavily marketed essentially to anybody who hangs up a shingle and will listen. Not only are dermatologists and plastic surgeons being pressed to buy or lease this device, but chiropractors, hair transplant clinics and dentists too...

We have had great results with Zerona but I am not sure if it could be specific to only one area
Our results we Zerona in the last two months has been loss of inches through out the body and not just the areas of treatment. I am not sure if Zerona could be that specific to treat only one area.
I must add that our patients have been very pleased with the treatments and so far it has surpassed my initial expectations. I still do not have enough experience to comment on long term results.

Zerona works, but not as dramatic as liposuction for spot reduction
Zerona works, but for spot reduction in your saddlebags, liposuction is expected to produce a more dramatic change. However, Zerona is completely non-invasive so doesn't have risks associated with surgery. For sculpting and spot reduction, you might be more satisfied with liposuction, if you are a good surgical candidate.

Zerona Effectiveness - Save Your Money for Liposuction
My advice to you is to save your money for liposuction which works on everyone.
Zerona is a generalized “whole body” slimming non-invasive low level laser treatment coupled with oral medications, daily minimal water intake requirements. It uses photochemical rather than a thermal or ultrasonic mechanisms to alter the fat cell by making the fat cell membrane more permeable - letting fat out that is absorbed by the body. The company aggressively markets to many...

Unpredictable results
I used a Zerona in my office and found that most patients were very happy with the improvement that it provided however it was very unpredictable. Some patients would lose 3 inches and some 10 inches. There is no way to control who loses how much and from what area. I would bet that trying to lose in one place like the saddlebags does not give you the improvement you are looking for.
