Zerona: Stories

We should seek a class action suit against Zerona. It is a scam. We should call Dr Oz , Opera, CNN somebody so we can get our money back

I'm thin, but have that pouch as well. I've only lost 1/2 inch in mine after 7 treatments. (2 left) I was told I have "the perfect body type" for maximizing results; so be cautious. Hopefully you'll have more luck!

I am curious to know if Dorothea did go ahead with the Zerona, and if so, how it turned out. I am a busy smart lipo surgeon in the Mid West, thinking about incorporating Zerona, but obviously not if it doesn't provide consistent results. Still considering.

I've been reading all the posts on zerona and I want to give my comment. I just plucked down a deposit on nine treatments. $1400 in total. A lot of money but my reasons for doing this treatment is different from those who have tried it and found no results. I have been diagnosed with a medical condition that made my liver almost completely shut down. After 15 years of suffering( the last 5 years putting on over one hundred pounds) they finally found my medical problem and I'm treating it with natural supplements and vitamins. I'm 52 and now feel my energy come back like i was when i was in my late 20's. I'm back to my 30 minute power walk on my treadmill and feeling great. my hair has grown back and all the pains i've had have disappeared. My only problem is that my body is taking its sweet old time to kick in to the weight loss. once i start to lose a few pounds my metabolism will kick in and the weight will start to drop off. because of the condition i had, regardless of the exercise it will be a long process for this to happen. It was suggested to me that i should consider some liposuction. I didnt want to go this route. Then i read about zerona. Now please understand, I'm not looking at this as a weight loss or a loss of many inches. I'm being realistic. I know it may not work in that regards but my whole idea of trying the treatments is to kick start my metabolism so that all the dieting and exercising that I'm doing now will take over and i will go back to my former self. My problem is the flushing of the fat cells as this is what has caused me the problem to begin with. If having a few treatments helps to eliminate even the slightest amount of fat cells regardless of my physical results then this is fine with me. Maybe not for everyone and again I can understand how 007 is frustated.( at least a partial refund should be given) but I'm going in with a realistic outcome. I will keep you posted with the results. I should add that I ran a medical spa for over 14 years. my main money maker was laser hair removal. With these treatments i have seen great results and i've seen where some hairs have not been removed. your results on this depends on the intensity of the settings. I have had clients come to me from doctors who have treated them for laser hair removal and have spent hundreds to thousands with very little results. The've come to me and within three treatments have seen more results than eight treatments with thier previous package at a doctors office. why? because i try to start my clients off with the highest settings possible. many clinics start a client off with a very low setting. they make them sign a contract for 6 or 8 treatments and by the time they come close to finishing their package, they increase the settings enough for the client to start seeing results but not enough for them to be completely happy. When asked why all the hair isnt gone, there's a song and dance given to them saying oh the hair is much lighter and takes a little longer or your hair is stubborn but if you want to sign up for another six hundred treatments we can give you a discount. I don't work that way. I want to see results as quickly as possible. i dont want to grow old with my clients. I use a cool machine to keep their skin cold so there is vitually no pain. The results are incredible but as with anything there are limited results. I tell all my clients when they've lost at least 80% of their hair to not waste their money on more treatments. the hair that usually is remaining is soft and slow growing and requires shaving maybe once a month. Why spend money on something like that? I dont like to make money that way. Maybe that's why my clients stayed with me and were upset when i retired? getting back to the zerona, when i go in for my first treatment i will request they start me on as high a setting possible. unless of course there is only one setting. But before i do that i will make sure i'm educated enough on this machine to know what I'm talking about. As for my results like i said earlier, i just want it to kick start my fat flushing. I hope everyone can make sense of my comment and i will keep you posted to what my results are.

As I advised others who are considering this, all I can say is be sure to ask yourself how LITTLE a change you will be okay with for the money this will cost you. Would 1/4 inch off your waist make you happy? OR does it need to be more than 1 inch off your waist and hips, and you don't care about your knees or neck (which they also measure). What if you look exactly the same after it's all done? How will you feel then?

If your expectations are REALLY, REALLY low going in, then I don't think you will be disappointed. You have been thru a lot, so I hope you see the "jumpstart" you are hoping for.

Please see my comment below, dated tocay. One last thing - the settings are the same for everyone. And Zerona does not "eliminate" fate cells - it is scientifically impossible for that to happen. It is supposed to "shrink" fat cells, but as you can see on this forum, that claim is highly debatable. Good luck.

Just to burst your bubble, the results are usually comparable with liposuction only that it's harmless to the body and there is no down time and it's safe.

In terms of expectations, I agree, that is the main thing a person should think about. People expect to come as a 200 pounds and finish 120 pounds, it doesn't works this way first because you're not expected to lose weight and second because it's not realistic.

BUT, typical results will give you 1-2 inches per major area, and that is about average.
It's also very common to lose 0.5 inch in 1 area and lose 5 inches in another single area. We have no control over that; it's just the way that the body reacts to the treatment.

Dont do it. I do sales and marketing for a very popular medspa in CT. I would never incorporate this because I know it would be a ripoff and our clientelle's best interest is our first priority. We would never want unhappy clients. The diet and excercise portion of the Zerona treatment is what is producing results. Not the treatment.

wow ok thankyou for answering im more then convenced now not to have it done

I see your still on here telling people this works.All they have to do is read on this web-site tells all. I am a person that has tried everyway to lose belly fat. O.K. This does nothing it also may hurt you physically. Some of these dr.s are claiming they can help with diabete people with tryglieriotes and throid problems. I can't spell them but it just isn't true. I followed all of the rules and weight about 130 I was just interested in inches didn't expect weight lose. So for me and many others we received nothing for our money. I guess all your worried about is the money not the people. Good luck in your greedy way.

Toronto ON - Curious to know if you tried Zerona. From what I understand, you are not a candidate due to your liver condition. I would not advise it. I do not have a liver condition but did experience a serious injury related to my lymphatic system that is still not resolved after one year.

I would not recommend purchasing it as I feel more people experiencing serious complications will be surfacing eventually.

I have treated hundreds of clients with the Zerona for the past 3 years and i have never seen any problems reported by clients who had it done.
You also need to remember that this website is not objective because 99% of the people who post here are angry. Most happy customers don't visit this place. There has been over 1000 Zerona machines in North America over the last 3 years or so which means hundreds of thousands of people had it done and you only have here 38 non-positive reviews (some are neutral)

i wouldn't invest in one. I realize they need to pay for the machine. It did not work and I followed every step that the chiropractic office told me to do including their supplements, exercise, detox, etc. I ended up with only losing $2650 not inches of any kind.

The reason people are angry on this site is because, IT DOESNT WORK.
I DID NOT PAY ONE SINGLE CENT FOR THE TREATMENTS. I received the treatments FREE as a provider/practice manager of a med spa.
IT DID NOT WORK FOR ANYONE so I'm not angry that I lost money. I'm angry that the providers of ZERONA are trying to scam people out of their money.

Don't waste your money incorporating this machine. You will have more headaches and lose clients because of this scam. Believe me, I know. I leased one of these machines and tested it. Does not work at all. The only thing that might help to lose one or two pounds are the Curva pills that go with it and excercise. But the Curva pills give uncomfortable Niacin side effects to most patients. Again, save your money because the company that provides the machine will do everything to avoid you if you try to return it for a refund.

You're wrong. If it would have worked, I would have definately posted my positive results and my pictures. But since I did not lose any inches after 9 sessions, of course, my comments will be that. For me it was a total waste of money. I feel totally ripped off.

I appreciate that information. If I understand..you are saying there is no control over how much fat will be melted away in any given area. So you can lose half an inch on one thigh and five inches on te other? Maybe I misread, but that sounds like what you are saying.

I would not recommend it. $3600 is very expensive and I know many people for whom it doesn't work at all, including myself. Try a good diet and exercise program. That's what works!
