How Easy Is The Zerona Laser… Really?

Ok… I don’t know how many times I said this to the many consultation/emails/phone calls/etc… but I’ll say it again.

The Zerona Laser and my program is really really easy…

But don’t take my word for it!  Seriously!

I know how skeptical you are… we all are to some degree. I was skeptical when I first heard about the Zerona laser and the results from the laser alone.  That’s why I tried it on myself.

After all, you want me to believe that shining a laser over my trouble fat areas… a laser that I cant even feel be the way… is going to get ride of that 4 inches of circumference to my waist/hips/thighs in only 2 weeks?

Ya right!

Look, I hear it all the time.   Even after I show them the credible research and FDA approvals… After I share with them the physiology and photochemistry…  After I share with them before and after pictures of patients.  Even then… to some degree they don’t believe how easy and real this is.

I even get requests from doctors to allow a potential patient talk to some of my patients to see if it’s the real deal.

Here’s what tends to work best to satisfy our innate and conditioned skepticism… I let my patients speak for me.

So if you are a person wanting to take the next step, that being a consultation, watch this and see if it satisfies your desire.

If you still have questions about the Zerona laser feel free to submit them here.  Though I am very busy between my office in Pasadena, CA and Rancho Cucamonga, CA I do the best I can to reply to your blogs.

And if you are interested in a consultation with me… just call the office.

Zerona And Eye Bags

Many people have asked me about the Zerona Laser and eye bags.  Let me address this briefly.

Yes, the Zerona laser can help with these eye bags… however, it is not your typical protocol… let me explain…

The typical protocol is 6 40-minute session over 2 weeks with the goal of reducing inches of fat to the targeted area – stomach/hips/thighs then the average inches lost is 3.5 inches, based on the research.

With the eye bags as the target you should expect this… The laser is placed about 1-2 inches from each eye bag for a shorter duration. Not 20 minutes like the rest of the body, but for only 6 minutes…  The other thing is that we use a special cream that has niacin in it rather than the tablet.

But here is the real frustrating thing…

Don’t expect results in 2 weeks with this treatment!  Try 30 days!!!

I know! It’s crazy… if you are as impatient as I am, I want results for my patients yesterday.  Well, it is what it is….

While treating the eye bags I will put the other 3 lasers on the chin to help sculpt the fat from that area… that’s a nice little bonus…

Oh and the cost – this is my cheapest Zerona laser program – $2,200.

Obviously, you will NOT be using a compression garment with this these protocols.  Could you imagine a compression garment for the eyes and chin – you’d look like a mummy or like you just had plastic surgery.

And yes you will be wearing the special protective glasses while under the laser.

And yes you’ll be being hydrated as well.

I hope that answer all the questions.

Blessings,

Dr. Don

What Most Doctors And Patients Don’t Want To Talk About During The Zerona Laser Treatment

Here’s a topic that MOST people fail to give adequate attention while they are pursing the loss of inches of fat with the Zerona Laser.

I think the reason why too little attention is give to this topic is because of the societies low standard related to this topic.

What is this key factor?

Healthy Digestion and Elimination!

I heard a JOKE from another doctor… well it was more like an experience he had with a patient.  He was telling me about a geriatric patient he was managing and the patient said, “Doc, if I wake up in the morning and if I have one bowel movement that day… THAT was a GOOD DAY.” (Thank you Dr. Alan Rousso)

Yes, it is good to wake up to live another day! BUT to have only one (if that is some cases) bowel movement a day!… that’s not so good.  In fact, that’s constipated!

Remember, the Zerona Laser emulsifies the fat in the cell. Then it makes the fat cell porous temporarily for the emulsified fat seeps out of the fat cell, where it will then hang out.  Its you lymphatic system that will pick it up then transport it to you digestive system, where it is eliminated from the body with your bowel movements.

So if you are the type of person who is “lucky” to have one bowel movement a day, then we need to get your system ready for the Zerona to do its job.  Because, if you are having bowel movement problems… that can slow your progress and results from the Zerona Laser.

Ideally, you should have a bowel movement after every meal.  So that means 3 bowel movements a day.  If you are eating the right foods, this is not a problem.

At the very least you should have one bowel movement a day.  If you have only one OR LESS, then we need to help your digestive systems work more smoothly.

So how do we do that?

There are many natural and healthy ways to go about doing this.  All of which I suggest the supervision and support of a trained health care provider.

It could be as simple as eating (notice I didn’t say drinking) more fiber. You can get that from you dark green leafy vegetables or even nutrition bars (ie FiberOne bars).  I prefer eating lots of vegetables with every meal.  Do that and you shouldn’t have a problem.

If you are in need of a major bowel “overhaul”. A cleansing may be required.

There are many cleaning programs out there… some safe, many not.
There are apple fasts, raw-fruits and vegetables fasts, special shakes or special supplements, pills, and the list goes on.

It is very important to have a healthy digestive system for best results on the Zerona Laser program.

What You Should Do Before You Start Zerona Laser Treatment (part 2)

This is a continuation on the previous blog entry.  Last time I spoke about staying well hydrated.  The topic blog is equally important to starting before your first laser treatment.

Remember those 3 calls I received from doctors asking about how to ensure the best results.  Well, the good news was they were all doing PART of what I suggest in this blog.

Again, there are a number of things you should do before you start Zerona Laser treatment if you want the best results.  Today, I’ll discuss the second of those things…

Supplementation!

I’ve attached a video I made for my patients on the topic of supplementation, and yes… I was very busy and tired when making it …

What’s that?  It is supplementing our diet with vitamins and mineral to allow the body to have the right chemicals to optimize chemical processes of the body.  In other words, if your body does not have the right building blocks, then it will not work as well as it could if it did.

I am NOT going to be discussing supplementation for ideal health.  Here I will be discussing supplementation for getting the best results with the Zerona laser.

Side note: Unfortunately the medical profession as a whole has very little schooling on this topic.  And most do not that the post-graduate education or training required to have a strong grasp of these topics.  So if your doctor is unfamiliar with specific recommendations for your individual case, then you may have to seek out that help yourself; it’s not a typical referral.

Because supplementation is a case by case situation, I will limit today’s topic to Niacin. As my patient, I will give you specific recommendations; however, one supplement that you will all be one is Niacin.

All of you will be on niacin.  For my program I ask that you take 100mg a day. That’s 500% the US daily value.

What is Niacin?

Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin whose derivatives such as NADH play essential roles in energy metabolism in the living cell and DNA repair.

During metabolic reactions such as fatty acid oxidation and glycolysis, NAD+ serves as an oxidizing agent, oxidizing certain compounds can lead to the breakdown fats and carbohydrates, which ultimately can lead to the production of ATP (energy).  So niacin helps to oxidize the fat and makes it easier to get it out of the body versus getting re-absorbed by the cell.

Niacin is also a vasodilator.

Vasodilation is the dilation and expansion of blood vessels (veins, arteries).  With the relaxation and dilation of nearby blood vessels, it is possible for the fatty acids and triglycerides sitting in the extra-cellular space to be absorbed into the blood stream rather than reabsorbed by the fat cell.

This is why taking niacin right after your Zerona laser treatment could be the best time to take it.

There are a couple of things you need to know about taking niacin.

Some people get a niacin flush.  Because it is a vasodialator – meaning your blood vessels expand, the 98.6 degree internal heat that we maintain suddenly comes to the surface of the skin.  This will cause you to feel very hot, or flush, your skin may turn red like a flush or sun burn… some people will feel itchy and want to scratch.  Don’t scratch.  It is best to just let it pass.  It should be over in about 30 minutes or less.

A cool shower can help remedy the discomfort of the flush.

If you want to minimize the chance of the flush, simply take the niacin with food, or at least a glass of milk or a banana.

Nutrition stores have a product that does not have the flush side-effect.  Ask for a Flush Free Niacin.  I do not recommend this though.  It is healthy for your skin to have the flush on occasion.  Besides… the flush often only occurs the first few time you take it.  And for the majority of people, the flush isn’t that bad in the first place. If you are worried about it, take it with your largest meal of the day.

If you have questions on your specific supplementation, post it with a comment here or email me at DrDon@TheZeronaLaser.com.

Before You Start Zerona Laser Treatment

Hydration!

Today I had 3 calls from doctors about how to be sure to get better results with the Zerona Laser with their patients. 2 of the 3 doctors were failing on this one thing!

It’s so easy to do… and it is so critical!

Here is what I suggest… One week prior to your first Zerona Laser session you want to start getting well-hydrated. Get very well hydrated! In other words, start drinking plenty of water. I’ll explain how much in just a moment. But for now it is important that you understand the WHY.

Hydration provides 2 important functions as it pertains to the Zerona Laser:

Lymphatic stimulation. Hydration is important for elimination of the emulsified fat that has been leaked from the fat cell. Staying well hydrated also simulates your lymphatic system again pumping out the secreted fat. If you don’t intake adequate fluids, the emulsified fat will be like sludge and just sit there with the chance of reentering the cell.

Digestion/Elimination aid. Staying well hydrated also helps your digestive system to work more smoothly; specifically bowel movements. Your lymphatic system carries the emulsified fat to your digestive system. If you don’t intake adequate fluids, then your constipation can result. If you are constipated, then your body will become backed up and with it the flow of the emulsified fat.

Now that you understand the WHY… lets talk about the HOW.

How much water should you consume?

You should be drinking at least 64 ounces a day. A good rule of thumb is half of your body weight in oz. For example: a 200-pound person should be drinking 100 oz of water per day.

Just remember: if during your consultation you were told to drink a different amount based on your medication or health conditions, follow those recommendations.

If you are a coffee drinker or consumer of caffeine (tea, soda, energy drinks, etc)

If you are a coffee lover or soda lover, be advised. Caffeine is a diuretic. In other words, it will cause your body to eliminate the water from your body. During my program, you need to be well hydrated. Caffeine competes with that goal! So why do it? I know some of you are addicted to caffeine. My staff is guilty of this too. Just realize that IF you drink ONE cup of coffee… fine… you must drink TWO cups of water (in addition to your normal amount) to replenish what you lost from the coffee.
If you can avoid the coffee for a couple of weeks… do so. Besides, most of the drink your consuming have added calories anyway. Help yourself out and cut some extra calories by cutting out the drinks.

Water is the best way to go. If you don’t like water. Add a little twist of lemon or lime to each glass. Learn to like water. It has such huge health benefits.

Dr. Don
