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.

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.
