Zerona Laser: Zapping Fat

The Zerona Laser is a new anti-fat weapon. The Zerona laser is a non-surgical laser: no incisions are made on the patient's body; instead the beam penetrates the skin and breaks down fat tissue over the course of several treatments so that it can be broken down by the body's lymphatic system. The Zerona laser procedure is non-invasive, so it will surely be very attractive to those scared away by procedures such as liposuction and stomach-stapling. Whoever is offering this treatment basically has a license to print money.

However, the Zerona laser treatment, if it actually works, only addresses the fat itself, and not the cause: if you want to keep weight off, simply sucking or burning it out is not a permanent solution. It's best to check with your doctor about things like nutrition and exercise in order to come up with an ongoing method to stay healthy. Also, I'm only finding a few instances of this treatment on the web, generally associated with day spas, as opposed to hospitals, and most of these articles are press releases. Does anyone out there know anyone who'd actually had Zerona treatments? I'm always very suspicious of quick-weight-loss claims.
