Clinical trials confirmed the amazing effects that the ZERONA laser therapy had on adipose tissue (fat storing cells). It demonstrated that a small pore was created in the protective membrane of the fat cell enabling the fatty matter to seep out of the cell. The excess fat was then passed out of the body during its normal course of detoxification.
ZERONA targets your problem areas, and painlessly reduces fat in the tissue under your skin. Then your natural detoxification system simply eliminates the fat from your body.
ZERONA is a new non-invasive FDA approved body slimming system designed to remove fat and slim the body without any surgery, pain, or needles. ZERONA allows patients to continue daily activity without interruption.
How the ZERONA Low-Level Laser System Works?
ZERONA works by using a patented and clinically proven low-level laser technology. This laser emulsifies the adipose tissue which is then released into the interstitial space. The excess fat is 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.
The remarkable images above demonstrate the low-level laser’s ability to emulsify adipose tissue. The pictures highlight the collapse of the rigid adipose cell, and secretion of triglycerides and fatty acid from the cell.
How Triglycerides and Fatty Acids Escape?
These images show the formation of a transitory pore forming in the bi-lipid membrane of an adipose cell. This
pore is the direct result of the low-level laser stimulation, and the reason why the triglycerides and fatty acids are
able to move into the interstitial space. This pore is not damaging to the cell, and simply serves to allow the fatty
content to evacuate the cell.

Questions & Answers
Is the Zerona™ FDA approved?
The FDA Granted FDA approval for Zerona Laser on August 30, 2010 after it was proven safe and effective for circumference reduction of the waist, hips and thighs.
The FDA granted market clearance following the completion of a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, multi-site clinical investigation evaluating sixty-seven study participants. The results obtained from that study demonstrated an average inch loss reduction of 3.65 inches across patient’s waist, hips, and thighs in as little as two weeks. The clinical trial, absent of diet restrictions, exercise requirements, or any other adjunctive components properly illustrated the clinical utility of the Zerona and set the precedent on how aesthetic devices should be evaluated.
The Zerona emits a low-level, or cold, output energy that generates no thermal effect on the body’s tissue eliminating any risk to the patient. Zerona has been clinically proven to target fat cells causing their immediate collapse thereby significantly reducing body volume. Through a natural process of fat removal, the laser-released fat is safely removed and broken down, providing patients with a truly non-invasive procedure without side effects or downtime.
What is Zerona™?
The Zerona™ LipoLaser is designed specifically to address fat reduction and body contouring. Zerona™ laser treatments are administered in relaxing 30-40 minute sessions. The Zerona™ LipoLaser is a non-surgical procedure that enables the reduction of several inches of body fat without the pain, swelling and extensive recovery time typically associated with liposuction or fat reduction surgery. By directly targeting adipose (fat) cells the Zerona™ LipoLaser offers a safe and effective fat reduction solution.
How does the Zerona™ laser work?
The Zerona™ LipoLaser is a 100% non-invasive, laser-based, fat reduction and body contouring system. The Zerona™ laser offers the relaxation of a 40-minute massage with the benefits of loosing inches of body fat! Rather than painful surgery, the Zerona™ laser uses light energy to safely (and painlessly) penetrate the skin and specifically target fat cells. It is through this process that the Zerona™ laser causes the cell to release water, free fatty acids, and glycerol (also known as Triglycerides). When the triglycerides are released from the fat cells, the fat cells “shrink” significantly, resulting in a noticable change in body contour.
Is Zerona™ better than Mesotherapy or Lipodissolve?
Mesotherapy and Lipodissolve both require hundreds of injections over multiple treatment sessions. Mesotherapy and Lipodissolve both result in swelling that can take weeks (or longer) to resolve. In addition, with Mesotherapy and Lipodissolve, uneven contours and damage to skin can result. The Zerona™ LipoLaser is different. With Zerona™ treatments, there are no injections and there is no risk for swelling or uneven contours. And, because the Zerona™ laser uses low level energy, there is no risk for damage to the skin. With the Zerona™, you will have pleasant, relaxing treatments with no downtime and no pain.
How long has the Zerona™ LipoLaser been in practice?
The laser technology used in the Zerona™ has been used to liquefy fat by doctors since the 1980’s. Lipo-reduction with low level laser energy has become commonplace in cosmetic procedures worldwide.
Can the Zerona™ get rid of the belly I gained from childbirth?
Yes! The Zerona™ LipoLaser is perfect for targeting the areas with stubborn fat that persists after childbirth. However, we do not recommend that you have LipoLaser treatments if you are currently pregnant.
Do Zerona™ treatments work on men?
Zerona™ treatments are just as effective in men as they are in women.
Can the Zerona™ improve my abs?
The Zerona™ laser causes the fat cells that cover your abs to release triglycerides. Your body then can turn the triglycerides into usable energy.
How long are the Zerona ™ Laser treatments and how many treatments will I have?
Treatment sessions are about 40 minutes per body region treated. Treatments will be scheduled three times weekly for two weeks – a total of six treatment sessions are recommended. Another round of treatments may be performed if additional fat reduction is desired and many of our patients routinely sign up for 12 treatments or more.
Are the fat cells permanently removed?
Unlike traditional liposuction, the fat cells are not removed during Zerona™ Laser treatments. Instead, the fat cells are stimulated to release the triglycerides that are contained within the fat cell. This means that there is no destruction or removal of any tissue. Proper diet and exercise following the Zerona will provide maximum and lasting results.
Is it painful? Does it hurt?
There is no pain or discomfort during or after Zerona™ treatments.
Are Zerona™ Laser treatments safe?
LipoLaser therapy has been used safely in various medical applications since the 1980s. Tens-of-thousands of patients have been treated and no significant adverse effects have been reported.
What areas of the body can be treated by the Zerona™ Laser?
Treatments are effective for use on the back of the arms, the upper and lower abdomen, chin/neck and jowls, knees, upper and lower back, inner and outer thighs, buttocks, love handles, and the male chest. Really, any area that contains unwanted fatty deposits can be effectively treated. Of course, we do not recommend that the Zerona™ laser be used near the eyes.
Do I need to put on a numbing cream before the LaserLipo treatment?
The treatment delivered is painless and no numbing cream is needed.
Do I need to uses a cream after the LaserLipo treatment?
Some people have reported improvement in their results by using a variety of different creams. However, most physicians feel that the creams provid little (or no) advantage. Any improvement obtained from the application of cream is probably attributable to the massaging action itself.
Should I massage after the treatment?
It may be helpful to massage the areas after each Zerona™ treatment. Massaging can help facilitate release of triglycerides from the treated fat cells.
Should I wear a compression garment after the treatments?
It may be helpful to further compress the fat cells with the constant pressure exerted by a compression garment. A garment like Spanx™ may be worn. Medical compression garments are available for patients who desire more controlled or aggressive compression.
How quickly will I see the results from Zeron™ Laser treatments?
After the first Zerona™ treatment some patients begin to notice changes. In many cases, your skin will feel softer and firmer. With each subsequent treatment, the results will be more noticable. After the series of six Zerona™ treatments, most patients have a measureable difference, with many patients wearing smaller pant sizes within a month of their first treatment.
Is the Zerona™ scientifically proven?
LaserLipo technology has been studied in multiple FDA clinical tests and the results are conclusive — LaserLipo treatments work.
Are the results from Zerona™ LaserLipo treatments the same in all patients?
There is some variability in how well each patient responds to a series of treatments. In addition, there is variability in how quickly each body area responds to the Zerona™ Laser treatments. This is because there are many factors that influence each person’s metabolism and because there are different types of fat. Fat that is more dense (lateral thighs, upper abdomen) may require more treatments to achieve the desired result.
