Zerona Body Contouring Laser

Zerona is the first non-invasive body contouring procedure to effectively remove excess fat without the negative side effects associated with surgical methods.  Zerona utilizes cold laser technology which has been shown to emulsify fat and allow it to move through the interstitial space.

How Does it work?
Through clinical studies it has been demonstrated that the Zerona laser stimulates the fat cell to emulsify (liquefy) the fat within the cell.  Then the liquefied fat moves from inside the cell through a temporary pore formed in the cell membrane to outside the cell where it is in the interstitial space until absorbed by the lymphatic system.  This results in millions of fat cells becoming smaller so inches are reduced off the waist, hips, thighs and arms.  The fat cells are not injured in any way!

What can I expect at my appointments?
You can expect 40 minutes to relax, read or do absolutely nothing!  The Zerona treatment is completely painless.  There is no heat or any sensation whatsoever while being treated.  Each treatment you will be met by your technician who will discuss nutrition and lifestyle habits for the week and will then position the laser on the desired area of the body.  He/she will then step out for 20 minutes while the front of your body is treated and return to reset for the backside.  After you are done you may resume normal activities with no downtime, nor pain, nor swelling or any discomfort.

What is the treatment protocol?
Each patient is unique, but the two FDA approved protocols are 3x/week for 2 weeks (only recommended if you have an event you are preparing for), or 1x/week for 6 weeks.  The 1x/week for 6 week protocol showed results on average of 6 inches lost over the 6 weeks of treatments.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping is a unique treatment that uses suction to lift the tissues as a cup is moved by the therapist to decompress the underlying tissue. It combines various massage and stretching techniques with the application of a slightly pressurized cup. This helps to lift and separate the soft tissue, allowing for greater fluid movement and nutrient supply throughout the soft tissues. This nourishes, detoxifies, and stimulates the area being treated, and the cups come in various sizes depending on the treatment area.

This treatment helps to increase fluid movement which assists in recovery. Increases nutrient-rich blood supply to injured area to speed up the healing process.  It passively stretches the tissues to improve range of motion.
