Have you have been following your diet and exercise program religiously, but find that no matter what you do, the extra layer of fat around your belly won’t budge? If you answered, yes, you might consider Zerona. One of the new “laser fat removal” or “lipolaser” methods of body contouring, Zerona uses cool laser light technology to slim and reshape difficult to treat body areas.
Zerona laser fat removal targets stubborn areas that have not responded to other body contouring measures.  One of the first "laser fat removal" devices approved by the FDA for non-invasive body slimming, Zerona targets fat cells with low-level wavelengths of light. Zerona’s five beams of “lipolaser” light are aimed at specific trouble spots to make the fat drain out of the fat cells in those areas.
Once the cells have been zapped by the “lipolaser” and deflated of their excess fat, the targeted body area should shrink and appear smoother. People hoping to trim their belly and whittle their waistline have reported seeing a trimmer contours in that area.   

How Zerona Works

Because Zerona is a non-surgical approach to fat-reduction and body shaping, the treatments are safe, painless, and no anesthetics are required. Patients generally undergo a series of six treatment sessions every two or three days over a period of two weeks. Each Zerona session typically lasts 40 minutes.
The Zerona machine is equipped with five laser light beams that will be positioned to target the adipose tissue – subcutaneous fat that is just under the surface of the skin – in specific areas of your body. The laser beams zap the fat cells in your target areas, causing them to drain liquefied fat and shrink.
During each session you will lie on a table in a private room – wearing your bathing suit and special glasses that protect your eyes from the laser lights. A technician will position the laser beams of the Zerona machine so they are pointed directly at your trouble spots.

Tips for Optimal Treatment

Drink Plenty of Water – at least 60 ounces every day – to aid your lymphatic system in processing and flushing the liquefied fat that has been excreted from your fat cells.
Avoid Caffeine, Alcohol, Soda and Junk Food, as these can negatively impact your body’s ability to metabolize and flush the fat from your body once it has been released from your fat cells.
Don’t skip treatments. During the two-week series of Zerona treatments, it is best that you don’t go more than 72 hours (3 days) between sessions, or the efficacy of the “fat draining” process will be minimized. In fact, some of the fat may be reabsorbed into your fat cells if you allow too much time to elapse between sessions.

Patients who follow the above guidelines have reported the most dramatic results. A word of advice: The fat cells treated with Zerona “lipolaser” have not been destroyed, just drained of fat. If you want to keep your newly contoured waistline slim and trim, you will need to maintain a healthy regimen of diet and exercise.
