Hey guys/girls,
My girlfriend went to Fernwood gym last night for a trial where the woman behind the counter has convinced her to try this Cell-IQ (known as Zerona in USA) which is supposed to be a 'low level laser' which somehow disrupts fat cells and releases the fat to be used as energy (or something along those lines). So it's basically a bunch of pads hooked up to a machine, you put the pads on your body where you wish to 'disrupt' the fat, leave them to do their thing for 40mins and then you follow it up with 30mins of cardio. Repeat as desired for $80 a session.
So obviously I am 100% skeptical, I am certain it's a scam but my girlfriend thinks it's a great idea. She spoke to some people at the gym who say it works instantly. They're claiming that after the 30mins of cardio they had a 1cm loss..
So I've googled it but there isn't that much info on the net about it, and a lot of people say it work while a lot of others say it does not work. I am guessing the only reason you really lose weight is because you are doing 30mins of cardio each session. Also I'm a bit concerned about there being a 'low level laser' sitting on someones body for 40 minutes at a time and there seems to be no research stating whether that's safe or not..
Anyway, has anyone heard of this thing? Does anyone have any insight to this treatment?
