Cellulite Reduction - The holy grail (Zerona is not the answer)

No Zerona will not help with Cellulite. The purpose of Zerona is to reduce the amount of fat in a generalized fashion but not to reduce cellulite, firm up or tighten the skin.

Zerona may help - but the results will be short term

We had the Zerona and eventually returned it. In compliant patients we could get results while the treatments were ongoing. However, some patients got minimal results. Patients who changed their eating and lifestyle did get results which were long term.  However these patients were few. It is a good way to "jump start" any program of diet and exercise.

Zerona is not a treatment for cellulite!

Cellulite remains a highly frustrating problem for women of all shapes, sizes and age.

The challenge is that our patients want better results that last longer than these devices can consistently deliver.

Zerona Will Not Help With Cellulite

Hi Cellulite S, Zerona will not help with your cellulite.

There are currently no great treatments for cellulite... more

Zerona and Cellulite

I have yet to be convinced that zerona is truly effective for anything. Despite all you hear and read, there are currently no effective treatments for cellulite.

Not Much for Cellulite Yet

 I share Dr. Placik's skepticism. Until I see more than one fairly dubious paper, I remain unconvinced that it works more than the diet and fat losing advice that comes with the treatment.

Zerona and cellulite

The results after Zerona treatments are inconsistent. It is not possible to predict significant improvement in cellulite or body contour for that matter after Zerona treatments.

Cellulite reduction

Despite the claims made about this seemingly ideal treatment, I am not convinced about their claims. It is essentially the same laser energy as a laser pointer.
