Zerona is low level laser therapy which is currently being used as an "off label" device for the treatment of fat (lipodystrophy). Despite what other authors have stated, the device does work and does have good science to back it up. 

The company has put together a well controlled study that they submitted to the FDA. It is that data and our personal experience with the device that has convinced me that it works. I now am able to offer it to appropriate candidates in my practice.  It allows me as a plastic surgeon to provide a spectrum of treatments for my patients.
