Zerona – Revolutionary Body Slimming Laser – San Francisco, San Jose, Bay Area
Who is a candidate?
As a leading San Francisco plastic surgery specialist, Dr. Joel Beck is proud to offer his patients the Zerona body slimming laser. Zerona is a revolutionary, non-invasive, body slimming laser that eliminates excess body fat. It is an excellent body contouring procedure and a new alternative for patients who are looking to reduce stubborn fat deposits. In addition, Zerona is often utilized as a touch-up procedure following liposuction or tummy tuck. Research has shown that this ground-breaking laser has the ability to melt anywhere from three to nine inches of body fat in just two weeks. Zerona is often utilized to treat multiple body areas at the same time, including the abdominal area, lower back, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, neck, chin and more.
How Does Zerona Work?
Zerona is a standing laser that emits light from five points, one from the center and four more from flexible arms. This unique flexibility allows Dr. Beck to manipulate the laser into a number of different positions and target more than one area of the patient's body while addressing their individual body contouring needs.
The light emitted from the laser temporarily opens small pores located around each fat cell; it then liquefies the fatty tissue inside the cell, allowing it to escape into the interstitial area of the body. Next, the lymphatic system, which is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissue, assists the body in disposing of the fat during its natural detoxification process. Once relieved of the fat tissue, the cells, which are unharmed during the procedure, significantly shrink in size and so do the problem areas.
Zerona patients typically undergo six, 40-minute sessions over a two-week period. During each session, treatment is administered 20 minutes to the front of the body and 20 minutes to the back of the body.
Who is a Candidate for Zerona in San Francisco, San Jose and the Bay Area?
The best candidates for Zerona laser treatment are individuals who may be apprehensive about invasive body sculpting procedures. Zerona is most effective when used on patients who are slightly overweight and are seeking to eliminate fat deposits stored in particular body areas.
Individuals who are extremely obese, pregnant women and those who wear a pacemaker are not good candidates for Zerona.
Patients interested in achieving an improved, fat-free silhouette should further discuss their eligibility with Dr. Beck during a one-on-one consultation.
Recuperation
Zerona is a completely non-invasive, body slimming laser that never touches the patient's skin and, therefore requires no recovery time. Generally, Zerona does not lead to any negative side effects that would limit the patient's activities. However, during and after Zerona treatment it is important to eat healthy, exercise regularly and stay hydrated to encourage the body's detoxification process and prevent fat from seeping back into the cells. In some cases, Dr. Beck may prescribe dietary supplements to further speed up the body's natural detoxification process.
Other Options
In addition to Zerona, Dr. Beck offers a number of other advanced body contouring procedures, including liposuction and tummy tuck. He is also known as a San Francisco SmartLipo specialist who has helped many patients lose excess fat and achieve the striking silhouette they have always desired.
