Non-Surgical Fat Removal

Zerona® – Non-Invasive Body Slimming Laser

The Zerona® body slimming laser is becoming more and more popular among post-bariatric patients who would like to recontour their bodies without invasive surgery. After losing large amounts of weight, areas of the body can be affected by excess, loose skin that is difficult to get rid of – even with rigorous exercise and strict adherence to your new dietary and lifestyle habits after surgery. The Zerona® laser treatment is designed to reduce extra fat and inches without having to undergo invasive body contouring surgery.


Contact Dr. Van L. Wagner to schedule a consultation for Zerona® Body Slimming laser treatment from our St. Louis, Missouri practice.

Body Slimming with Zerona®

Using the FDA-approved Erchonia® LipoLASER™, Zerona® works by painlessly reducing fat in the skin’s underlying tissue, recontouring body areas and tightening the skin. The laser is designed to cause excess fat to pass through the body using its normal detoxification process. Many patients can lose three to nine inches or more of stubborn, excess fat in areas such as:

  • Abdomen
  • Thighs
  • Hips
  • Buttocks
  • Love Handles
  • Chin
  • Neck
  • Arms
  • Back

The procedure can also help reduce the appearance of cellulite and provide improvement to the overall shape of your body.

The Zerona® Procedure

The Zerona® laser procedure involves a series of treatments that are non-invasive and painless. The laser is applied to the areas targeted for fat removal in a treatment session that typically lasts about 40 minutes. Patients usually undergo about three treatments per week over a two-week period for optimal results.

The Zerona® Body Slimming laser does not use heat and is not known to have side effects. There is also no downtime associated with this procedure.

Dr. Van L. Wagner is committed to offering a comprehensive range of treatment options in his weight loss surgery programs, and that extends to body contouring after weight loss. With state-of-the-art technology such as the Zerona® Body Slimming laser, Dr. Wagner and his entire team at Heart of America Bariatrics can help you take yet another step on the road to fighting morbid obesity and looking slim and vibrant!
