Unlike invasive weight loss surgery, ZERONA™ is applied externally. This revolutionary method provides results without the dangers associated with surgery, while at the same time allowing patients to remain active during treatment. The ZERONA™ protocol utilizes Erchonia®'s patented and clinically proven low-level laser technology.
ZERONA™ is a new non-invasive body sculpting procedure designed to remove fat and contour the body without invasive surgery. ZERONA™, unlike other procedures, allows the patient to continue their daily activities without interruptions from surgery, pain, wounds, or garments. ZERONA™ works by utilizing the Erchonia® Laser Scanner, which is also FDA market cleared for laser assisted liposuction. The Laser Scanner allows for the emulsification of adipose tissue, which releases into the interstitial space. The excess fat is then passed through the body during its normal course of detoxification. The ZERONA™ procedure was proven through a double-blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo-controlled study in which patients, on average, lost 3.64 inches from their waist, hips, and thighs. This result is dramatic compared to the placebo group, which only lost an average of half an inch.
Patients are treated six times over two weeks. Each of the six sessions takes 40 minutes. Treatment is delivered 20 minutes to the front of the body and 20 minutes to the back of the body. During this time, the patient relaxes comfortably in a prone position. It is completely non-invasive and patients feel nothing during treatment.
