Zerona and Viseral Fat

Dear Hot in Texas, If you have been convinced that Zerona works on any fat (the laser pointer light is unable to penetrate through skin to "cause holes in fat cells"), then I guess you can be convinced by physicians who speak in terms of "activating biochemical changes in fat cells" that it would work on viseral fat. In addition, if you wish to spend your hard earned money, go ahead, and then please let us know how it went. If you are like the great... more

Zerona does work

Zerona is a laser that doesn't melt fat. It activates a biochemical change in fat cells allowing them to give up stored fat. I've seen some impressive results with Zerona. The best way to know if you're a candidate is to have a consultation. It's very important to stay on a strict schedule during your treatment series for optimal results.
