This is one of the great benefits of the Zerona Laser, in that there are no documented side effects.  We do have patients wear eye protection during treatments, as you do in a tanning bed.  During and after treatments patients should not have any soreness or discomfort.  In fact, I tell patients that I want them to continue with normal everyday routine as they go through treatment.  There is no down time.  As mentioned earlier this is one of the biggest advantages to the Zerona treatment.  Any other body contour procedure has numerous side effects, some more serious than others.  With invasive liposuction there is the anesthesia that has risks, the surgical procedure itself, the risk of infection, and of course the weeks of recovery that go along with it.  With physical exercise there is the possibility of injury, there is the self discipline and motivation, the blood sweat and tears that come along with it and the amount of time it takes out of your life.  Don’t get me wrong, some type of physical exercise is a must for everyone.  It is a very important part of the equation in our protocol with the Zerona Laser.  I am just stating that to reach the goals you have with exercise alone may be very difficult.  The most common patient I see is the individual who already exercises but has those stubborn areas or as they sometimes say “fat pockets” they can’t get rid of no matter how much they exercise or how good they eat. These are usually the ideal candidates for treatment.  So the fact that this procedure is accomplished in two short weeks and patients don’t have to put their busy lives on hold for recovery time or worry about dangerous side effects is one of the appealing aspects of this treatment for most patients.
