Zerona
The first FDA approved, non-invasive body contouring procedure proven both safe and effective at removing unwanted fat and inches. ZERONA is the safest and most researched low-level laser in the world, allowing physicians to offer a painless alternative to liposuction. More specifically, ZERONA has been approved by the FDA for the elimination of fat and reduction of waist, hips and thighs. In a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled study, patients were treated 6 times over a 2 week period with Zerona - a patented low-level laser system - and lost on average 3.5 inches in combined circumferential measurements of their waist hips and bilateral thighs.
excreted. This process left a smaller, collapsed treated cells, resulting in circumferential loss of the treated areas. It was this finding back in 1998, that led to numerous clinical trials and studies that demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of ZERONA. In fact, ZERONA is the only body contouring device awarded FDA market clearance based on Level 1 research. Level 1 research is the most stringent of the FDAs efficacy testing standards involving double-blind, randomized, multi-site and placebo controlled studies, similar to those conducted by pharmaceutical companies.
Is ZERONA Safe?
A study was performed using ZERONA to check cholesterol and triglyceride levels. None of the patients demonstrated a statistically significant elevation in their triglycerides and cholesterol levels. In fact a statistically significant reduction in both low density lipids (LDL) and cholesterol levels was observed. So far, over 20,000 patients have been treated with ZERONA with no reported side effects or complications.
