Non-Surgical Body Contouring

Zerona is here!

“I was super happy with the results I received from Zerona at AMR.  I started it when my son was 7 months and by the end of Zerona, I went from a size 14 (tight fitting) to a 10, comfortably.  I am now 50 pounds lighter and have kept the weight lost off for over 3 months.  Knowing that I had put such monetary value into it was the push I need to work out and follow AMR’s recommendations.  LOVE IT AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”  - Tracey- Machesney Park, IL


Patients often ask plastic surgeons if there is a way to get the results of liposuction without surgery. Many people long for the instantly-slimming results of liposuction, but are afraid to undergo a surgical procedure, which can be expensive and entails anesthesia, surgical risks, and a period of recovery. An alternative to liposuction was needed. Some people even call the Zerona the laser liposuction, although rest assured no surgery is involved.

Fortunately, substantial progress in the field of body contouring has allowed for new, non-surgical liposuction procedures that offer outstanding results. For patients interested in non-invasive body contouring, call or email us today. Or come by the Advance Medical Rehabilitation Center.

The Zerona Laser can be used for non-surgical weight loss, non-invasive weight loss, and a great way to lose inches quickly.  Click here to make an appointment.

Lose up to 9 inches in 2 weeks with FDA approved LipoLASER™

 

Until now there has not been a proven non-invasive procedure to effectively shape the body by removing excess fat…

Dr. Cathy Dzik and Dr. Clarke Shih along with Mary Ann Breault, LPT wanted to be the first to bring this exciting body contouring procedure to the Rockford area because they are in the business of helping people achieve and maintain a healthy life.

 

Why LipoLASER™?

THE Location of fat on our bodies is a better predictor of weight related disease than total body fat.  Fat stored around the abdomen can lead to :

Increased risk of diabetes

High blood pressure

Cardiovascular disease

Increased risk of hormonal cancers (e.g. breast cancer)

Premature death

 

Waist circumference is a useful guide to determine whether you are at a high risk for weight related disease.  For men, a healthy waist measurement, just above the navel, is typically less than 40 inches.  For women, it is typically less than 35 inches.

 

Zerona is a new body-sculpting procedure designed to remove fat and contour the body without invasive surgery.  Unlike other procedures, Zeronao allows the patient to continue their daily activities without interruptions from surgery, pain or wounds.  Zerona works by utilizing the Erconhia® LipoLASER™ (FDA market cleared for laser assisted liposuction) to emulsify adipose tissue which then releases into the interstitial space.  They excess fat is passed through the body during its normal course of detoxification.  The Zerona procedure was proven through a  double blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo controlled study in which patients averaged a loss of 3.5 inches and some lost as much as 9 inches compared to the placebo group that lost only a half an inch. 

 

About the Procedure:

 

:  “We follow the precise protocol set by the manufacturer to ensure the best possible results for each patient. Each session, we measure the distance of each laser head from the body, and take care to set up the laser heads in a pattern that will ensure proper coverage of the targeted areas.  Human error in measuring is greatly diminished by using a self-tightening measuring tape.; There’s no “pulling it tighter” to exaggerate the results of the LipoLASER treatments. “

 

During the procedure, patients lay on a comfortable table in a relaxing atmosphere.  The laser is a low level laser that does not produce heat, is completely non-invasive, painless and has never shown any recorded side effects.  Low Level Lasers have been in use for over 30 years for treatment of many different conditions such as chronic pain, wound healing and many other orthopedic conditions. 

 

About the Protocol:

 

Treatment takes 40 minutes and needs to be administered three times a week for two weeks for best results.  The laser light will be positioned over the targeted area  (i.e. waist, hips and thighs) for 20 minutes and then the patient will turn over and do the same treatment on the opposite side.  Measurements are taken 5 times throughout the course of treatment. 

 

What to Expect:

 

After completion of the two week protocol, clinical trials resulted in an average  of 3.5 inches lost;’ and some patients lost as much as 9 inches. As with any procedure, results may vary and may be more dramatic from one patient to the next.  This is not designed for temporary weight loss through removal of water weight.   Instead, the procedure removes excess fat to successfully shape the body for a more desirable, long-term outcome.  Think of the last time your waist was 2 or 3 inches smaller, your hips had that natural curve, and your thighs were thinner! With Zerona LipoLASER treatment, you now have an alternative to achieve a shapelier figure without having to endure the fear, and sometimes painful process of a surgical procedure.
