Bloomfield Hills, MI ( newsbox ) September 12, 2012 - When patients are struggling with stubborn, exercise resistant fat, many assume that liposuction is their only real option. But, according to Bloomfield Hills' Dr. Gregory Roche, that's simply no longer the case - especially when it comes to upper arm circumference.

"Zerona laser treatments have quickly become one of the most requested procedures among my patients," reports Dr. Gregory Roche. "A proven treatment for reducing inches from the waist, hips and thighs, we can now add upper arms to that list as well." Referring to Zerona's recent, industry-first approval for the reduction of upper arm circumference, this "cold laser" treatment has been the subject of countless news articles and television segments.

Asked to speculate on the driving force behind Zerona's success, Dr. Roche offered a few suggestions. "For one, patients love that the procedure is completely non-invasive - that means no cutting and no needles," explains Dr. Roche. "What's more, Zerona treatments are completely painless and patients shouldn't expect any downtime, whatsoever."

Professionally referred to as "low-level laser therapy," Dr. Roche took a moment to explain the "laser lipo" procedure in detail. "While some laser treatments rely on super-heating and destroying fat cells, Zerona works by liquefying the fat within the cells," explains Dr. Roche. "This allows fat to drain into the spaces between the cells, where it is naturally flushed away by the body."

The same can now be said for fat of the upper arms, concludes Dr. Roche. "This recent FDA clearance is going to mean a world of difference for patients struggling with stubborn, exercise-resistant fat of the upper arms. Just like its effect on the waist and thighs, Zerona is going to help thousands of patients achieve the slimmer, trimmer arms they have always wanted."
