What is the Zerona Laser Treatment?

Zerona has proven to be a worthwhile addition to what plastic surgeons can offer their patients. I agree with Dr. Kenkel's posting. Zerona is a good way for patients to lose fat without surgery, without downtime and without pain. It does not replace liposuction or other body contouring procedures but does offer an option for those who prefer to avoid invasive procedures.
Zerona works well for three types of patients. The first being a patient that is just beginning to get back into shape. Using the Zerona treatment will maximize the amount of fat lost and accelerate the road to the end results of your efforts. Second would be those patients that never want to have any kind of surgery but would like to try something to reduce fat and inches. Lastly, there are some patients that would consider surgery but want to try everything they can before taking that plunge.
The most important thing is that it really does work. Remember that Zerona is intended to lose inches. While you will lose fat which causes the loss of inches, the loss of fat is proportional throughout an area. That is, your shape stays basically the same but your size goes down. I have treated many patients with this procedure and can tell you that every single one has lost something. My results range from about 2 inches up to over 11 inches, all the result of 2 weeks of treatments in total.
There may be doctors that don't believe in the technology, but I would bet they have never used it themselves, The proof is in the pudding, or the lost inches,
I hope this info helps!

Dear Stevie,
Let me go out on a limb and tell you that there will never be a valid study showing that this treatment is effective.
If you think that shining a laser pointer on your skin melts fat off your body, please do not let me keep you from believing this. However, there is not a shred of scientific evidence supporting this concept.
The good news is that other than not delivering good value for your dollar, this treatment is probably completely safe.
As far as Dr. Rand's suggestion that you need to only go to a board certified plastic surgeon, be aware that in the United States, dermatologists do just as much liposuction as the general plastic surgeons and they do it safely. However, it is unlikely that you will find either a board certified dermatologist or a board certified plastic surgeon offering this type of treatment.
