Will Zerona Help with Cellulite?

In my practice I have found that the only way to improve cellulite is to attack it with several different noninvasive technologies to contract and smooth at  different depths.  I call it Maercks Multimodal Therapy or MMT.  I have never seen any one technology have an impressive effect on its own.

 

All the best,

No Zerona will not help with Cellulite. The purpose of Zerona is to reduce the amount of fat in a generalized fashion but not to reduce cellulite,  firm up or tighten the skin. 

Cellulite remains a highly frustrating problem for women of all shapes, sizes and age. Temporary improvements are possible with devices such as Velashape and SmoothShapes and are currently the best options. The challenge is that our patients want better results that last longer than these devices can consistently deliver. A new device, Cellulaze may be a big step forward but this has not yet received FDA approval. It should be available very soon.  The device will involve placing a laser device under the skin to modify fat and the supportive fibers that influence cellulite. Some form of anesthesia (local only may be adequate) will be required and the treatment(s) will not be inexpensive. Stay tuned! 

For patients that are leading a healthy lifestyle and want improvement now,  you should try one of the above mentioned available  treatments. We are all hoping that the newer treatments coming to market will live up to their early hype.
