ZERONA IS NOT FOR OBESE PEOPLE

ZERONA IS NOT THE ANSWER. Zerona Laser treatments are supposed to work on everyone regardless of weight including obese people.. However my personal and professional experience is that it just doesn't work that well and will be a waste of money for you. You require massive weight loss help and my strong suggestion is to use professional associations whose focus is just that. It will require a lifestyle change which of course includes diet and exercise, may be even bariatric surgery... more

Zerona and obesity

Dear Lizzy. The results from zerona can vary regardless of one's weight. Zerona is designed to moderately reduce circumference in the waist, hips and thighs. Results in this regard can vary from 0 to 9" in total reduction. In most cases patients will see a more significant contour improvement with liposuction vs zerona. However, diet and exercise remain the mainstays of weight reduction. more

Zerona Not Effective No Matter Whether You Are Obese or Not

HI Lizzy, Zerona laser through skin won't "work" for any people, obese, fat, normal, or skinny. The effects that may be seen are likely due to the dietary supplement Curva, diet, and excercise.

Best to direct your energy elsewhere. Good luck and be well... more
