While liposuction surgery is still one of the most popular procedures today for removing excess fat deposits and slimming and contouring the body, many people are still seeking less invasive solutions. Liposuction involves the use of anesthesia, and as such, surgical risks. There are other options for those looking for similar results with surgery.
Two of the most popular non surgical weight loss and slimming techniques performed at The Lombardi Plastic Surgery Center include the ZERONA Slimming System and Velasmooth.
ZERONA
ZERONA revolutionizes fat reduction in a safe, proven procedure. There are no needles, no incisions, and no recovery time needed. The ZERONA procedure involves six quick and painless treatments done over a 2 week period. You simply lie under the ZERONA slimming device for 20 minutes on your front and 20 minutes on your back.
ZERONA targets your problem areas, and painlessly reduces fat in the tissue under your skin. ZERONA uses clinically proven low-level laser technology. This laser emulsifies the adipose tissue which is then released into the interstitial space. The 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, on average, lost 3.64 inches from their waist, hips, and thighs. This result is dramatic compared to the placebo group, which only lost an average of half an inch.
There is no use of anesthesia, and there is no pain. There is no numbing agents needed, no needles and no downtime.
Velasmooth
VelaSmooth ™ is a laser-like medical device that penetrates deep enough into the adipose tissue to effectively treat cellulite. Velasmooth can help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
The combined heat energy that is delivered to the skin goes deep so fat is mobilized and allows for deposition of new collagen, and therefore, a smoother skin surface is affected. The VelaSmooth ™, in addition to reducing thigh circumference and improving the skin surface irregularities, actually helps to re-contour the areas and gives an improved appearance to the cellulite in general. Patients don’t lose weight–but look like they have lost weight because the whole area has been re-contoured.
The entire treatment is painless, and patients report that it feels like a warm, soothing and deep massage session. Most treatments last between 45 – 60 minutes, but visible results can be achieved after a series of treatment spaced over a two month period.
