Is Zerona a One-time Treatment or is It a Series?

Question

How many treatments are recommended?

Daryl K. Hoffman, MD · Answer

The effects of Zerona on the fat cells lasts for about 72 hours. The low level laser is used for non-invasive body contouring instead of liposuction or Smartlipo. Zerona makes the fat cell membrane "leaky" and fat leaks out of the cells.

	This change lasts for about 72 hours after the treatment. So we treat every 2nd or 3rd day to keep the fat cells in this state for maximum fat reduction. Usually, the treatment time is two weeks but I have had many patients take more treatments for more improvement.

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

Typical Zerona treatment consists of a series of  six treatments total over a two week period of time. Each treament  takes about 40 minutes and there is no discomfort (you can talk on the phone or read a magazine while it is being done).

Sanjay Grover, MD, FACS · Answer

Zerona treatments are performed with 6 treatments in a period of 2 weeks.  Each session takes approximately 40 minutes.  In addition to the treatments, exercise, diet and supplements are recommended.  No pain is involved with the treatments.

Andrew P. Trussler, MD · Answer

Zerona treatments are multiple. Usually 6 treatments spaced out over a 2 week period. Each session takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes and does not require anesthesia. It is a great alternative for non-invasive body contouring.

Joshua L. Fox, MD · Answer

The recommended treatment regimen for Zerona is a series of treatments occuring every other day.  The minimum number of treatments recommended is 6, but the patients who do respond are often most satisified after 9-12 treatments.
