Hello and thanks for checking out our Zerona Laser Body Sculpting and Ideal Protein Diet Options. We believe our programs offer the fastest, safest body slimming and weight loss treatments available anywhere. The Zerona laser is the first non‐invasive aesthetic device to receive FDA market clearance for circumferential reduction of the waist, hips, and thighs. The Ideal Protein diet is a Health and Welfare Canada accredited diet program which may be eligible for you as a benefit on your private insurance and in some cases a tax deduction given your family doctor’s recommendation.

We offer three Zerona programs and stand alone diet program.

The most effective option for you can be best determined by making an appointment with one of our health professionals. Your lifestyle, age, eating habits and current state of health will determine your results. We will help you choose the right program to meet your goals.

About Zerona Laser Body Sculpting

Clinical studies of the Zerona Laser Body Sculpting treatments show that on average people can lose 6-9 inches of body fat with just 6 sessions over a two week period of time. The Zerona Laser works the same on every person. The laser light releases fat from the fat cell – however, when the fat is then liberated into the lymphatic system, the body will process it differently depending on your age, hormonal status (female/male hormones and adrenal gland cortisol), and especially how your body responds to your own insulin.  Exercise plays a part as well, as a toxic system or sluggish lymphatic’s will slow your fat metabolism.  Of course genetics also play a part.  We are not all created equal, and it is our goal to find the best program for you.

A one hour consultation is required prior to starting any of our programs.

Complementary informational evenings are also available. Check our website home page for the next time and date.

The Basic Zerona Laser Program– 6 Treatments

Like a lot of active people, no matter how long you jog or how many stomach crunches you do there may be areas where stubborn fat has accumulated. Typically these are the “muffin tops” on the tummy, “love handles” on the hips, or extra baggage on the buttocks and thighs. The Zerona laser light covers your body from the neck to the knees so all the problematic areas are covered.

Our clinics were the first in Western Canada to use the Zerona. Our experience tells us that generally the best candidates for the Basic Program are individuals who exercise regularly, eat three balanced meals per day, are of good general health and under the age of 35. Your current fitness level and diet are key to the success you’ll have so it’s best to talk with our doctors first to determine if this basic program is right for you no matter what your age. Basic program candidates will have a BMI* in the normal range which is defined as between 19 and 25.

(* see below for information on BMI)

Zerona is not meant to replace diet and exercise.  Good lifestyle habits must be maintained to keep the inches off in the future.

For those people who have a BMI over 25, in other words you know you must lose 15 pounds or more, we recommend the options below.

The basic treatment costs $2195 + tax and will include 6 laser treatments.

The information on our web site and in our advertisements is based on the clinical trials where researchers completed 6 laser treatments per patient. The FDA clinical trials of the Zerona reported that patients can lose 3-9 inches with 6 – 40 minute treatments.

A consultation is required.

The Zerona Detoxification & Wellness Program

As we get older our metabolism starts slowing down and our lifestyle choices and genetics start to make a difference with respect to how we process fat.

The main issue that has been found that causes the increase in weight, especially abdominal fat, is fat cell “insulin sensitivity.”  This is caused by starvation/fad diets, irregular eating habits and poor food choices.

The Wellness Program has shown to improve the slimming results by 50% over the basic laser program. Most clients lose somewhere between 6-12 inches, with our greatest loss measuring 16 3/4 inches! (2+dress sizes!)  The 9 treatments are done on skip days, (MWF) over 3 weeks.

The Wellness Program includes specifically designed nutritional products which help to accelerate fat from the body and remove associated toxins which prevent the elimination of fat from the cells. We also use therapeutic equipment such as the infrared sauna which has both healing and detoxifying benefits that aid in the elimination of fat and toxins. Most patients feel a significant increase in energy, they sleep better and have a general improvement in their overall health with these protocols.

Typical candidates for this treatment option are generally over 40 years old, are in general good health and have a BMI* of <32

A consultation is required.

The Zerona Detoxification &Wellness Programis $2995 + tax. This program includes the following:

• Professional nutritional Detoxification program   (1 week)
• 9 infra red sauna treatments

The Ideal Protein Diet Program

The Ideal Protein Diet is an easy-to-follow diet plan which focuses on fat reduction while maintaining your lean body mass – your muscles.  Most diets focus on calorie restriction. While lowering your calorie intake, the body still needs energy to function. The body will go after two sources of energy, fat and lean body mass – your muscles. Cannibalizing lean body mass is not healthy and will lead to premature aging. The Ideal Protein diet supports the body with pharmaceutical grade, 97% bio-available protein. This allows the body to then use fat as its primary fuel and consequently the result is rapid fat loss while sparing your muscle mass.

The Ideal Protein diet is a mentored program where one of our medically trained coaches will guide you every step of the way leading to the ultimate end point – the conclusion of your last diet! You’ll love this program because it’s easy to follow, there’s great tasting food, and you’ll see fast results every week.

A consultation is required.

The ZIP Program Guarantees your result. Not only do we guarantee at least 6 inches lost but the added benefit is an average weight loss of 12-28 pounds over the four week program. Our program gives you the education to achieve your weight loss goals and keep the pounds off permanently.

The Detoxification & Wellness Program can greatly improve the already significant results the basic Zerona treatments offer. Generally a 50% improvement in slimming can be obtained, plus you’ll have greater energy, digestive function, muscle toning and strength. The Zerona laser procedure is nearly half the price of liposuction surgery and without pain or downtime. Just like liposuction or any diet plan, results are maintained given a good healthy lifestyle.

What is BMI

Part of our initial consultations with patients is to do a Body Mass Index (BMI) test. This is a good indicator of how much fat you carry. Although it is not a perfect measure, it gives a fairly accurate assessment of how much of your body is composed of fat. For most people, this information can provide a clue as to what your ideal weight should be.

If your weight is not healthy, your risk for weight-related problems is higher, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, diabetes, and some forms of cancer.

If your BMI is less than 18.5, you are in the underweight category.

If your BMI is between 19 and 26, you are in the recommended weight range for your height. But your health may still be at risk if you are not getting regular physical activity and practicing healthy eating habits.

If your BMI is 26 to 29.9, you are in the overweight category. This may or may not be unhealthy, depending on some other things, like your waist size and other health problems you may have. People who have higher muscle mass also may be in this category as well.

If your BMI is 30 or higher, you’re in the obese category. You may need to lose weight and change your eating and activity habits to get healthy and stay healthy. See the topic Obesity.

If you are Asian, your recommended weight range may be lower.

It’s important to remember that your BMI is only one measure of your health. A person who is “overweight” according to BMI charts, but not “obese” may be healthy if he or she has healthy eating habits and exercises regularly. People who are thin but don’t exercise or eat nutritious foods aren’t necessarily healthy just because they are thin.

What’s your waist size?

After you know your BMI, it’s time to look at your waist size.

Measuring your waist can help you find out how much fat you have stored around your belly. People who are “apple-shaped” and store fat around their belly are more likely to develop weight-related diseases than people who are “pear-shaped” tend store most of their fat around their hips. Diseases that are related to weight include diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
