Zerona does not work.. A class action suit should happen for us. I lost 1000 for this non working method. Do not do Zerona. I lost an 1/2 inch from knee to neck for 1000 dollars. It is a SCAM

I-LIPO by chromogenex beats out any of these so called "fat reduction " laser's

I got a treatment on my thighs on Friday and saw a instant

Result I lost 1.5 inches on each thigh! No pain no side effects

Non invasive and FDA approved to use anywhere on the body

Even your chin! I absolutely would never go get.a ZERONA treatment

EVER AGAIN! IM STICKING WITH I-LIPO FOR LIFE!

It shouldn't surprise us that procedures like coolsculpting or zerona could be effective, since for centuries Asia has used aggressive massage (the basis of endermologie) to move old surface fat back into the lymphatic system where it can naturally exit our bodies. In fact, exercise also works on this basis, which streamlines us because it not only accesses the fat as fuel (especially nearest the muscles most used), but also stimulates those cells and the collagen production levels which simulataneously tighten and thicken the skin. It used to be common knowledge that heating up the fat in saunas and "jiggling" it in one of those old spa girdles encouraged fat to flee. I knew a workout instructor whose body philosophy was, "Any area that troubles you only needs some attention." What she meant was that if your thighs were getting a little lumpy or whatever, start massaging, exfoliating, heating up those specific muscles with exercises to access that fat, sweat it out in particular garments made for localized areas, and drink lots of water to flush it from the system.

So, it shouldn't amaze us so much that these non-ablative lasers could actually work on old fat that has settled upon us, when we have been non-ablatively doing this a long, long time.

To build on the growing awareness and excitement for CoolSculpting, ZELTIQ. Dr Persky has just launched a new online contest called "Get rid of the unwanted holiday cheer in the New Year" which is hosted on his Facebook page.

I've got a fatty tumor that's about the size of a plum (on my arm near the elbow) that MD's don't want to surgically remove but it gets bumped alot & I'd love to be rid of it. Will these things work for something like this?

I know I won't try it until other people use them first. I don't really trust FDA and it's better to be safe. I cannot take the comment from the company's president as a guarantee that there is no side effects. How does he know? Maybe they tested on a small group of individuals but you never know if it is going to be safe for most of people for a longer period of their lives.

Even if it is safe, who knows if it is worth the trouble? For instance, look at the Botox treatment. Supposedly, it gets rid of your wrinkles. But you have to get the treatment every three months or so. You have to continue getting it for the rest of your life if you want to get rid of your wrinkles. Plus, it is basically putting toxins in your muscles. It's like an addiction. You never know

what kind of side effects you will get when you get old.

People with the normal body weight who are still not satisfied with their looks should do non-cardiovascular exercises, like lifting dumbbells and doing sit-ups.

It doesn't cost you a lot, and it improves your health as well. There is no side effects besides occasional muscular pains which go away in a few days. It is harder and more time-consuming, but it eventually pays off.
