About Zerona

Zerona is the leader in body-sculpting procedures. Zerona is a laser scanner designed for use during liposuction and non-invasive body contouring. Applied externally, it has been proven to rid adipose tissue while allowing patients to continue their daily activities afterward.

It works by using the Erchonia Laser Scanner, an FDA approved laser form of liposuction. The scanner emulsifies adipose tissue which is then passed through the body in typical detox form. It has been proven through multiple studies, that patients will average a loss of 3-4 inches.
