Zerona fat reduction laser uses a series of treatments

The effects of Zerona on the fat cells lasts for about 72 hours. The low level laser is used for non-invasive body contouring instead of liposuction or Smartlipo. Zerona makes the fat cell membrane "leaky" and fat leaks out of the cells. This change lasts for about 72 hours after the treatment. So we treat every 2nd or 3rd day to keep the fat cells in this state for maximum fat reduction. Usually, the treatment time is two weeks but I have had many patients take more... more

Number of treaments required for Zerona

Although a new technology, the current reccomendation is that you should get six treatments total over a two week period of time. Each treament takes about 40 minutes.

Zerona treatments

Typical Zerona treatment consists of a series of six treatments total over a two week period of time. Each treament takes about 40 minutes and there is no discomfort (you can talk on the phone or read a magazine while it is being done).

Zerora is a series of treatments

Zerona requires a series of treatments. We require our patients to come in for 6 treatments over a course of 2 weeks. (So you need to come in 3x/week). In addition, our patients are put on supplements and are required to diet and exercise for 30 minutes/day over the course of treatment. There is no downtime.

Zerona treatments are performed in a series of 6 treatments

Zerona treatments are performed with 6 treatments in a period of 2 weeks. Each session takes approximately 40 minutes. In addition to the treatments, exercise, diet and supplements are recommended. No pain is involved with the treatments.

Zerona treatments over a 2 week period are recommended

Zerona treatments are multiple. Usually 6 treatments spaced out over a 2 week period. Each session takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes and does not require anesthesia. It is a great alternative for non-invasive body contouring.
