Laser Fat Removal

In this day and age, people concerned about fat in places they don't want it have many options to choose from, and want to have all the information possible in order to decide which one to choose.

One of those treatments is call Zerona. This laser is applied to the targeted area, which is generally a combination of the waist, hips, and thighs, for 20 minutes. The client then turns over and the very same treatment is applied to the opposite side. The minimum suggested treatment period is two weeks, with three full sessions each week. You should consult your provider about the maximum results for your body type, weight, and target loss.

Many clients have described the session as relaxing, and even Zen. Some even try to catch up on phone calls with friends and loved ones. You simply lay in a comfortable, stationary position for 20 minutes at a time, in a relaxed environment, while thecold laserdoes all the work. Since the Zerona uses cold laser technology, you feel nothing during the procedure. You may feel a bit different and lighter as you exit the treatment center due to the bio-stimulation that begins in your body.

You are always welcome to listen to music, or just close your eyes and rest during the procedure. Listening to white noise such as running water or ocean waves is always a relaxing way to spend the forty-minute sessions. With Zerona, you can simply lie down, relax, and let the laser do all the work.

Four separate studies were performed to assess the efficacy of laser in the emulsification (liquefaction) of fat. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were utilized to analyze adipose tissue. SEM and TEM images revealed the collapse of adipose tissue subsequent to laser therapy. The voluminous state of an adipocyte (fat cell) is reduced due to the emulsification process.

The fatty material is evacuated from the cell and moves into extracellular space. The voluminous nature of adipocytes due to the accumulation of fatty material is what gives rise to an enlarged subcutaneous fat region. Zerona induces the formation of a transitory pore in the membrane of the fat cell. The pore enables the fatty material to seep out into extracellular space. Fatty materials are picked up by lymphatic system, carried to liver where they are metabolized and excreted as waste. Essentially, the fat is simply gone.
