Zerona, a new device that zaps away stubborn fat without surgery

What looks like something out of a science fiction movie is delivering out of this world results to patients trying to eliminate stubborn belly, thigh and back fat.

The new procedure is called Zerona non-invasive body slimming.

“You don’t feel a thing,“ Marie, who had the procedure done, said.

Marie lost more than ten inches after her treatment.

“I noticed it on my waist and back mostly at first but I also noticed it in my clothes. So when I was putting on the same clothes I always wore they were a little tiny bit looser,“ she said.

And check out these dramatic results from another Zerona patient.

Studies by the manufacturer show most people lose between three and nine inches.

“Zerona works by causing the fat to be released from cells, so it’s as if the cells are squishing fat out into the surrounding tissue,“ Dr. Jeffrey Riopelle, a plastic surgeon, said.

Patients also receive a lymphatic massage after treatments to help push the flushed out fat to the liver to be eliminated.

Patients need to commit to 40 minute treatments, three times a week for two weeks.

The entire series of treamtents will cost you about three thousand dollars.

Zerona is not a treatment for cellulite.

And it’s not going to help you shed 40 pounds either.

“Someone who has a mild to moderate amount of excessive fat in a given area would be a great candidate for zerona, but someone who has a large amount of fat in an area probably would be a better off with liposuction,“ Dr. Riopelle said.

While some Zerona patients have complained online that Zerona did not work for them, Marie says she had a surgery free option to re-shape her body.

“It makes me feel so much better about myself,“ she said.
