Zerona
'''Zerona''' is a low-level laser device developed by Erchonia Corp. for non-invasive body slimming of the waist, hips, and thighs. It has been shown to disrupt [[adipocyte]], or fat cell, membranes causing the release of stored [[lipids]] and fatty material, in turn, promoting adipocyte collapse. The device was first introduced to the market in 2008 as an [[off-label use]] device for slimming, but later was cleared as a [[Medical device#Class II: General controls with special (contracted; show full)

The [[Downregulation and upregulation|upregulation]] of ATP induced by laser therapy is also responsible for the increased production of a natural byproduct known as [[reactive oxygen species]] (ROS).<ref name=pmid16248161>{{cite journal |pmid=16248161 |year=2005 |last1=Klebanov |first1=GI |last2=Chichuk |first2=TV |last3=Osipov |first3=AN |last4=Vladimirov |first4=IuA |
