Zerona Laser Sculpting vs. Liposuction
| Traditional Liposuction | Zerona Laser | |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure | Invasive SurgeryDuring traditional liposuction, you will have small incisions made in your area of concern. Then a long hollow tube will be inserted to remove excess fat. This needle / tube will be used to break up the fat cells in each area by using a firm back and forth motion. Finally, the broken up cells are suctioned out. | Non-Surgical In-Office ProcedureSimply lay comfortably on your tummy or back and relax while the Zerona gently melts away your fat. Anesthesia is never necessary so there’s no risk of complications. Best of all, there’s never any pain or discomfort. Even after you go home. The entire procedure lasts a total of 40 minutes so there’s minimal interruption to your daily schedule. |
| Effect | Removal of fat cell. Best when used with large areas to be addressed. | Empty contents from fat cell but the cell remains unharmed. Best used for smaller areas or those not surgical candidates. |
| Cost | $7,200+ which typically includes hospital/surgery center costs & anethesia costs. Pricing provided by: http://liposuction.com/howtopick/cost.php |
