Santa Barbara Laser Clinic Now Introduces the Zerona Body Contouring System
When we refer to lasers, we are not talking about the devices used in modern surgery. There are two primary types of lasers used in medical science today — surgical lasers and “cold” or low-level (LLLT) lasers. Surgical lasers use a particular light frequency that cuts and cauterizes, while cold lasers operate at a frequency that penetrates the skin and stimulates the cells underneath, including fat cells. While LLLT has been used for many years as a natural means of reducing inflammation, relieving pain and speeding tissue recovery, in 2010 the FDA also approved it as a means of shrinking subcutaneous fat cells.
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used worldwide for over 40 years without any negative side effects. A significant body of peer-reviewed research has illustrated low-level laser therapy's ability to modulate cell bioenergetics, consequentially influencing numerous intracellular biochemical pathways, resulting in an observable clinical outcome.
