Through clinical studies it has been demonstrated that the Zerona low-level laser stimulates the fat cell to emulsify the fat within the cell. Then the liquefied fat moves from inside the cell through a temporary pore formed in the cell membrane to outside the cell where it is in the interstitial space until absorbed by the lymphatic system.  This results in millions of fat cells becoming smaller, so inches are reduced off such areas as your waist, hips and thighs.  Your fat cells are not injured or killed by this process.

You will stand barefoot on the body composition scale which will give you many statistics about your body.

You can then expect 40 minutes to relax, listen to music or do absolutely nothing. The Zerona laser treatment is completely painless. There is no noise or any sensation whatsoever while being treated.  At each treatment, you will drink 8 ounces of water and then lay down on the massage table. The Zerona Z6 low-level laser arms will be positioned over your desired areas of fat on your body. You may decide to roll your street clothes up or down so that the laser can “see” your skin in order to work properly or you may decide to change into a bathing suit or other garment. You will be left to relax for 20 minutes while the front side of your desired body area is treated and then you will be told to turn over so that the laser arms can be reset for the backside of your desired body area for an additional 20 minutes. At the end of the laser session you will drink 8 ounces of water. There is a convenient rest room adjoining the treatment room, should you need it. Your laser treatments will be followed by 10 minutes of standing on a whole body vibration plate which stimulates your circulation and helps with lymphatic drainage improving your results. After your treatment session is finished you can get back to your normal activities immediately with no bruising, downtime, pain, swelling or any discomfort.  This is a symptom-free process except for losing unwanted inches of fat.

It is not recommended that you miss an appointment.  Prior to starting the Lipo Laser Boutique Zerona program, you will help determine the number of sessions you will have and the time in which they are completed. The frequency and spacing of sessions are set for you to receive the best circumference reduction and slimming effects of your low-level laser treatments. Missing sessions can affect your results. It is important that you are committed to the recommended lifestyle protocol and your laser treatments and vibration plate sessions.

Liposuction is an invasive procedure that removes the entire area of fat cells from deposits beneath the skin using a hollow stainless-steel tube (called a cannula) with the assistance of a powerful vacuum.  Liposuction can be accomplished either with the use of a general anesthesia, or with IV sedation, or totally by local anesthesia.  In contrast, the Zerona laser is 100% non-invasive using the low-level laser applied externally to stimulate your fat cells and emulsify and release fat.  There is no cutting or puncturing your skin or use of anesthesia, any gels, creams, numbing agents, or needles and no downtime. There is no painful recovery at all.

You will experience absolutely ZERO downtime. During your treatment, you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used, and you can assume your normal activities immediately following each treatment.

No.  During the treatment period, you can continue your normal activities. It is recommended that you not engage in heavy muscle mass development, such as power lifting at the gym while you are slimming your fat areas and that you commit to and follow the Lipo Laser Boutique protocol to stay hydrated by drinking one-half of your body weight IN OUNCES of water per day. It is recommended to continue to eat a balanced, healthy diet and to exercise by walking at least 30 minutes a day. For best fat reduction results, abstain from alcohol and caffeine. Alcohol and caffeine interfere with the lymphatic process to metabolize your fat which can decrease your results.

The Zerona laser can be used effectively on essentially every part of the body where localized fat deposits exist that are resistant to diet and exercise. Most clients start with treating their waist, hips and thighs which can all be targeted in 1 treatment.  Other areas include your bra-line fat, inner knees, back fat and buttocks.

No, the Zerona low-level laser is considered elective and is not covered by insurance.

Yes, there is no risk involved in using the Zerona low-level laser therapy and it is considered a safe alternative to invasive procedures such as tumescent liposuction and lipo dissolve injections and other non-invasive devices like the Accent, VelaShape, and Thermage which rely on heating the tissue and can cause discomfort.  None of these have the proven data showing how fat cell size is reduced like the Zerona.  The Zerona laser treatment is 100% non-invasive and causes no bruising, scarring and zero downtime.  During the treatment, you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used, and you can assume normal activities immediately following each treatment.

Yes, with two exceptions.  If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, Zerona laser should not be used.  Additionally, if you have a pacemaker, this treatment may not be for you. There are no known detrimental risks, but potential unknown risks may exist. Zerona may not be as effective on clients with diabetes or thyroid disorders where the metabolic system is potentially impaired. Please consult with your doctor to discuss whether you are a good candidate for Zerona low-level laser based on your own individual medical history.

No.  The treatment process is completely non-invasive and there are absolutely no side effects beyond loss of inches and fat.
