Zerona | Non Invasive Laser Liposuction Treatment Bay Area

The first non-invasive body contouring procedure to effectively remove excess fat.

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.

How ZERONA™ Works
Voluminous adipose tissue can appear when fatty material is present, and this, in turn, can bring about enlarged subcutaneous fat regions. Because subcutaneous fat is close to the skin's surface, laser emulsification can have a dramatic effect. The collapse of adipose arrangements have been noted after laser therapy, reducing their volume and providing effective body contouring results.

Body Sculpting
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.

Process Overview

Erchonia® Laser Scanner Biochemical Effects on Adipose Tissue

The stunning series of photographs above impressively demonstrates the low level laser’s ability to emulsify adipose tissue. The pictures show the collapse of the rigid adipose cell and the secretion of triglycerides and fatty acids. These remarkable images immediately reveal why laser-assisted liposuction can serve as a great benefit for the physician and the patient.

Protocol
ZERONA™ 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.

The protocol is completely non-invasive and patients feel nothing during treatment. No downtime or recovery period is needed after treatment. Instead, patients can resume normal activities immediately However it is important to combine lymphatic drainage via massage or endermologie during some of the treatments. Dr Newman and Dr Hessler include a package of three massage treatments for patients undergoing the Zerona Package. Premier Plastic Surgery is affiliated with Claudia Santana in Burlingame where patients in the north peninsula can obtain their lymphatic massage.
