Plastic Surgery Breakthroughs (Neograft & Zerona) on Rachael Ray 9/25/09

This Friday, September 25, 2009, both the Zerona body-slimming laser and the minimally-invasive NeoGraft hair transplant device is due to be featured on Rachael Ray.  Zerona is a non-invasive body-slimming procedure which has been scientifically-researched and proven in clinical trials to reduce body-circumference without the pain, recovery, risk or downtime of liposuction surgery.  NeoGraft is a new breakthrough device for minimally-invasive hair transplant procedures (called Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE) which allows individual hair follicles to be harvested from the back of the scalp with no scalpel, no stitches and no linear scar.   Healing and recovery is faster and more comfortable than traditional techniques and very short haircuts are possible post-op because there is no tell-tale linear scar.

Dr. Bauman has performed FUE procedures since 2002 and was one of the first physicans in the world to provide Zerona laser treatments to his patients.  Dr. Bauman is located in Boca Raton, Florida.

FDA considering new 510(k) approval category for non-invasive 'fat burning' laser (Zerona)

"Fat Burning" is in quotes here because while we all know that low level lasers are non-thermal, the news media has adapted this slightly inaccurate term to describe the Zerona laser.  I guess "Laser Fat Zap" or "Fat Burning Laser" sounds better than 'fat leaking' -- which is, in fact, what the low level lasers in Zerona causes adipocytes (fat cells) to do... leak.

There are some rumblings from the FDA that regarding the Zerona laser, which has been demonstrated in scientific clinical trials to significantly decrease body circumference in two weeks, they (the FDA) are considering creating a 'new' category within the "Low Level Laser / Photobiomodulation" division of their 510(k) market approvals to reflect body-contouring and fat reduction. 

This has absolutely nothing to do with the specifications or safety of the Zerona device, but rather the proven body contouring effect Zerona demonstrated in the clinical trials.   So much for those people who believe that FDA 510(k) clearance is only about safety!   An FDA 510(k) approval is typically based on a predicate or pre-existing device, but because none such device exists that non-invasively reduces fat like Zerona, a new category will likely have to be created.   

We'll know within the next few weeks the FDA's decision.   For clarification, the laser in the Zerona device has already received 510(k) market approval from the FDA for use as an adjunct to Liposuction.   However, the studies submitted to the FDA show that the Zerona can be used non-invasively to significantly reduce the circumference of the hips waist and thighs without surgery, in two weeks.

Clinical Data on Zerona -- Presentation at 16th Annual American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

Las Vegas, NV--The presentation of the data from the randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled study on the Zerona was given on December 11, 2008 at the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicne 16th Annual Meeting in Las Vegas.   The data showed a statistically-significant reduction in the individual and total combined circuferences of the hips, waist and bilateral thighs after two weeks of treatment using Erchonia's Zerona Low Level Laser.  Scientific background was presented by Dr. Ryan Maloney and the clinical data/clinical experience presented by Dr. Alan J.

Zerona on ABC-News, featuring Bauman patient, Jody Jack

Watch The Video

Jody had successful treatment with the Zerona Laser from Erchonia. Aside from losing inches off her hips, waist and thighs, Jody felt that she looked a little 'leaner' in terms of muscle definition. The benefits of the Zerona treatment were confirmed by double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-site, Independent Review Board-approved clinical studies which have been submitted to the FDA. The Zerona device is seeking it's second FDA-clearance at this time--it has already been cleared for its use as an adjunct to liposuction. The Zerona process, however, is a non-surgical fat-reduction treatment. (post updated 2/5/09)

More on Zerona, Mistakenly called 'verona'

Some of the original studies on Zerona were done at Dr. Douglas Dedo's clinic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.   A short news clip on one of his patients aired last night on ABC Palm Beach WPBF: http://www.wpbf.com/health/17557043/detail.html

Unfortunately, they mispelled and mispronounced the name of the treatment...

It's called ZERONA, not VERONA.    The Zerona (not Verona) is performed with the Erchonia FDA-cleared LipoLASER.    As described, six treatments over the course of two weeks.   The average patient loses 5 to 6 inches without change in diet or exercise.   However, we do recommend special adjuncts to the regimen (like compression garments, etc.) to faciliate the body contouring process and enhance the result.  The painless laser device is located in our clinic in Boca Raton.  For more information on the Zerona (not verona) process for body contouring and fat reductions, call toll free 1-877-561-LIPO[5476] or 561-394-0024.
