Zerona
The first non-invasive liposuction treatment.
BACKGROUND
Zerona is known as the first non-invasive body contouring procedure to remove excess fat. That means unlike gastric bypass surgery or the LAP-BAND procedure, Zerona is done completely externally. Patients who receive the Zerona procedure are allowed to remain active during their treatment.
Zerona is a non-surgical procedure that uses the Erchonia Laser Scanner, which has been cleared by the FDA, and can have results comparable to liposuction. Test subjects that underwent the Zerona procedure lost an average of more than three inches from their hips, waist and thighs. The Zerona treatment actually liquefies fat cells that are in your body and allows them to pass out of the body through normal digestion.
There has been a substantial amount of medical research and case studies done on patients of all sizes and measurements to test the success of Zerona. Zerona has also been featured on several news programs and medical shows because of the amazing effects of inches lost in a short amount of time. Unfortunately, there seems to be no specific advising of a diet or exercise to follow before or after a Zerona treatment. Some new sources even tout the treatment as the answer to getting slimmer without having to diet or exercise.

DIET and NUTRITION
Unfortunately, there is no information available that connects Zerona with any sort of diet. It is however recommended that you use Zerona if you are already using a diet plan and want to help that along. Another recommended use for the Zerona treatment is if you are planning on starting a diet and want to jump start it with this treatment.
EXERCISE
Exercise is recommended with Zerona. It is emphasized that Zerona treatments will not have any effect on your current exercise program. The procedures are completely painless and will allow you to continue your workouts the same day as your visits.
Although exercise is recommended, there doesn’t seem to be any particular program in place. Exercise would definitely help keep those inches off that are lost through Zerona, and enable a further loss at a healthy pace.
CONCLUSION
Zerona is a very hot topic right now because it is a non-invasive procedure and has proven to be effective. The problem with treatments like this is that they get marketed as an instant solution to weight problems. Without more education to keep the weight and inches off, these types of treatments can be seen as a short-term weight loss fix rather than a long-term weight loss solution.
Discounts are also available for those who want to have several Zerona treatments to compound the inches they lose. This could be problematic for those who want to use Zerona to lose large amounts of weight rather than incorporating a diet and exercise program. Zerona can definitely be a great tool to help you lose inches, but using at the sole means to lose inches could result in those inches coming right back.
