  I use a Turbosonic whole body vibration. This instrument uses sound waves to vibrate your body. Because is uses sound waves it is very smooth. I have a staff person use a massage tool and massage the problem area 10 minutes during the laser treatmetn on each side. 1/2 the time they are on the laser. I have not started using compresion garments. However, based on the research that I have seen I believe they would be very helpful. I will be testing this with patients soon.

  I have had the Zerona Laser in my office since December 2008. We have had absolutely amazing results with it. I have spoken to a few offices who did not have "great" results. Usually these offices were the ones that did not recommend making some minor lifestyle and treatment changes What you need to do is: 1. Make sure that the patient has a decent diet. Mostly meat and veggies - normal stuff. 2. The patient should drink plenty of water through the day. (64 ounces is a minimum.) 3. The patient should take Niacin tablets 2-3 per day 4. Massage should be done to the area that has been lasered. The fat is softened and is eliminate through natrual bodily function. If the patient has slow waste removal they will get slow results. So gently massage the area and "squeeze" the fat out so you can process and eliminate it properly. We have someone in office that does this. 5. We also use whole body vibration. The patient should do at least a small amount of regular exercise to increase circulation and elimination of fat. Going for a walk at home etc would also be a good way to increase results. If you are doing what you need to lose weight and add the Zerona the results are absolutely amazing. If you are cheating - the results will be bad. There are a few thing that would tell me that the person would not be a good candidate for the laser treatments. 1. If the person is actively gaining weight. You need to find out what the person is doing to gain weight. If they dont change or fix that .... nothing will help them lose weight. 2. We offer one free treatment. If the person loses at least 1/2" in their one hour treatment there are allowed to continue with the laser treatments. If they do not lose at least 1/2" in the very first one hour treatment ... we do not allow them to continue with treatment. For our office we measure before and after treatment. If the patient loses fat inches on the very first treatment we know that they are a good candidate. If they do not lose at least half an inch we do not allow them to continue on with treaments. I believe that it may work but we are not willing to risk our reputation or the patients time, energy and or money. MIRACULOUS RESULTS! The results have been nothing short of miraculous! We (and our patients) are very happy with the Zerona Laser.
