“Paid and Got Nothing in Return - Bridgeville, PA”

Yes, that's him. Who does he know
to get a spot on a news show that tons of people see. That guys stomach is 4 of me. I couldn't lose a couple of inches. By the ways we never talked about losing weight. Why now is it a great thing that the Zerona can do.

Hi That's what I thought was so funny a lot of us women with belly fat go no results. This man that looked like he was 9 months pregnant lost 52 pounds. The doctor and I never talked about weight loss just inches. How about the new laser he has. I'm calling the attorney and giving him that web-site. Hope he give me some hope to have these people stopped. I'll let you know.

If you would take a look at my review on this website, I think you would conclude that I don't need your advice, however well-intentioned. I have already been fit to the point where people were asking ME if I was a personal trainer. I am happy for your success, however.

Zerona was not a choice I made as a *substitute* for exercise. It was something I hoped would accelerate the results of the exercise I was already doing, and act to counter the negative effects of menopause. I came to realize that all I really needed were hormone supplements, at far less money than I wasted on Zerona.

may I ask where is your office? I'm interested in getting Zerona laser therapy but this comment scars me. How come one office can have some result and other office doe not? aren't are the Zerona machines the same?

Just so everyone knows. The Zerona is FDA approved. The research is based on 1,700 case studies on low level lasers (which is what the Zerona is)and over 200 studies on the Zerona use for this purpose. Low level lasers have been in use since 1998. The type of fat the laser is going to affect is subcutaneous fat. It is the soft flabby tissue. Visceral fat is fat that lies deeper beneath the skin, and surrounds the body’s internal organs. Patients who come in to use Zerona laser sometimes have both. Some offices address both types with different programs to help the body heal from the inside as well. Often times these are optional. Some clinics offer only the Zerona which base their results primarily off inches. Zerona suggests a minimum of 6 treatments. With greater goals and more resistant bodies sometimes more sessions are necessary. The research and individual cases of patients using the Zerona is based on their inches lost, not weight. Reason being is that if someone is doing their arms, and or chin or other smaller body part is going to differ from someone doing a larger body portion. Also people's weights that do this procedure greatly vary from Fitness Professionals to people who are morbidly obese. Same as with age and gender can vary. The reason this procedure is so practical for many people is for those exact reasons. Everyone's body is different and functions on different levels of ability to process change. The Doctors and staff of these clinics only see patients for a maximum of 40 minute treatments for three times a week for the duration of their program. It is impossible for a physician to know what every patient does for the remainder of the 23 hours a day and the four days they're not in the offices/clinics/facilities. Patients need to be honest with themselves and their doctors. It is important to talk to them about lifestyle changes, if they feel their goals may be bigger and want to maintain it. Again it is different for every person. If you are eating a consistent amount of fatty foods and not changing your life at all, the laser will keep you from gaining weight, but is fighting an uphill battle to help the body flush more fat for a discernable difference to be seen. The laser is scientifically proven to work. It's the patient’s commitment and body types that are the varying factor in all of this. As for contracts most medical clinics are advised to take payments up front. This is to ensure patients commitment to programs. Often time’s offices/ physicians book patients, days, weeks, and months in advance. For every patient that would schedule then cancel is taking away an opportunity for another committed person to be at those offices. On a less professional level of speaking, how many of you would expect to go to a gym and not pay because you haven't lost weight, even though you know for a fact that gym equipment is proven effective? Didn't some of you folks say you go to gyms? Why continue to pay? Just a thought. As far as each states Better Business Bureau is concerned in most cases is more likely to side with the customer. They are a fair judge and will only base their conclusion on facts. In which case if a customer files a claim and the facility is found not at fault is based on factual/ contractual evidence. And to continue on with the laser, Zerona has appeared on many shows and news media. It can be found featured on Rachel Ray, The Doctors, Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, and many other credible shows. The reason these can be cited is because they are legally obligated to only put things on their show they can show proof of working and being a good source for the consumer. In conclusion. It sounds like many of these discrepancies can fall back on the patients themselves. This isn’t' a legal issue, a doctor's issue, a scientific debate. Those are things that have been found to stand on their own and have for many years. It's a personal issue in which patients are not completely honest or not aware of what they might be doing wrong, because they cannot take fault with themselves. Instead they place blame on people and places they believed could be a miracle cure for their lack of knowledge and commitment. You can't change your body if you can't change your outlook on things and follow a trained physician’s advice. Good Luck to you, and all others in your journey through life. It will be more difficult in the long run if you hold on these hatreds and bitterness and angst. Stress causes the body to gain and hold onto fat.Try opening your mind and heart to facts and heal yourself. Learn to love yourself and others and the body will follow in steed. Sincerely Signed. P.s. There is no claim in this that for some people the body is just not responsive due to actual medical reasons. Those can be determined by a doctor or your pcp. Everyone should look at their options and for some the Zerona may not be the best option. That's why you have to have a consult and see if you are a candidate. Be honest in those so that the doctor can make a legitimate suggestion based on your individual case. Good luck to all. God Bless. P.P.S.

Those medical doctors are plastic surgeons. So believe me I'm sure they have their own agenda for their claims. Have either of them actually ever used it? Studied it? Been a participant in the fact finding? I highly doubt it. I'm sure their practices have taken a hit lately over the new non-surgical technology that has come out. Like I said I'm sure they have their motives, whatever the reason may be. As far has having an ego I'm just stating facts. Nothing I said was false. And if you are entitled to your opinion as am I am. and My Opinion is that you are behaving like a petulant child. I wasn't mean, I was only stating the facts I saw in front of me, and the fact is all anyone has done is complain. No facts, no research, no nothing. I do find it amusing that people act like this. and I'm actually embarrassed that I even got involved in these ridiculous conversations, but I could not let the other side not be told. The one where low level technology has been in use for decades and people all over the WORLD use it. The side where I point out facts and get told I have an ego for simply knowing more than you. Truth is you weren't happy and rather than act like an adult you harrass people on an internet forum to make yourself feel better for the fact you still have not lost weight. I feel bad. I feel bad for people who really do have weight issues and have struggled their entire life. I feel bad for people who work hard and do the right things and they still don't feel good about themselves. What I do not feel bad about is people who negate total and complete science fact to belittle people who do practice something they have found to their dissatisfaction. I do not feel bad for people who are so mean spirited and live such a negative life. Find peace because it is the only way your body will heal and you will beable to move forward. God Bless.

Please stop googling things and actually talk to your PCP. You really do not make any sense. No fact basis, just silly claims that you think help support the nonsense you spout out because you know how to use a computer. If your claims were true and you filed things with the BBB, attorney general and you constantly talk about getting a refund. How'd those work out for you? If you are in the right why hasn't any legal system supported you?
