Non-Invasive Laser Lipolysis
Have you considered liposuction, but you don't want the downtime, invasiveness, or potential side-effects of the procedure?
Zerona laser treatment by Erchonia Medical is an alternative to liposuction with no surgery, no injections, and no pain.
Non-invasive laser lipolysis is achieve through the application of low level laser therapy(LLLT). The application of this laser has been shown through extensive researh to liquify fat within the adipocyte (fat cell). Following six minutes of low level laser exposure, the round grape like adipocytes are completely liquified.
Before LLLT After 4 min. of LLLT After 6 min. of LLLT
Before LLLT: Scanning electron microscopy photograph of normal adipocytes (x190). Note the round shape. The contours are regular grape-cluster shape.
After 4 min. of LLLT: A few adipocyte have liquified and there is preservation of some cell membranes, some of which have lost their original shape. Note star or oval shape.
After 6 min. of LLLT: No round adipocytes are seen, only liquefied fat. Fat is seen coming out of the adipocyte.
The low level energy emitted by this laser causes a transitory pore in the cell membrane to open, allowing the liquified fat to leave the cell and accumulate in the interstitial space around the cells. There is no damage to the cell membrane since fat is expelled through this transitory pore. Once the fat is in the interstitial space, it is naturally removed by the body through the lymphatic system. The liquified fat is subsequently excreted without the potential side effects or downtime associated with more invasive procedures.
The fat loss that occurs is similiar to fat lost after diet and/or exercise in the sense that it is not permanent. This is because the fat cell itself is not removed from the body as in liposuction. So, you must maintain this fat loss through diet and exercise or it will return.
Recently the numerous benefits of low level laser treatment have become more prominent.
The potential benefits of this low level laser application are body contouring and fat reduction without surgery, injections, or pain.
Problem areas or excess pockets of fat can be targeted, however the most commonly treated areas are the stomach, hips, flanks, thighs, and neck. In clinical trials patients have averaged five and a half inches lost from their stomach, hips, and thighs.
There are no known risks associated with low level laser treatment.
This treatment is non invasive and causes no discomfort before or after the treatment.
