Get Ready To Watch Inches Melt
From Your Waistline!

Initial Consultation

It’s often stressful to come to a new doctor’s office. As relaxing as our office is there is a level of anxiousness and uneasiness when meeting a new doctor and discussing sensitive issues such as health and especially issues of weight and body shape.

That’s why we’ve included this section to give you an idea of what to expect when coming into see Dr. Malay or one of her doctors.

When making your first appointment, please allow 10-15 minutes early to fill out a brief, confidential intake form that allows the Doctor the opportunity to get to know you and your ideal body goals.

You’ll be greeted with a smiling face. Water and hot beverages are available for you enjoyment. After filling out the brief questionnaire, you’ll be given a tour of the office to introduce you to all our wonderful services available.

Dr. Charles Stafford, DC

Dr. Jade Malay, DC, DABCO

Dr. Malay or one of her Doctors will meet with you to discuss your body and lifestyle goals. The Doctor’s main reason for meeting with you is to make sure that you qualify for the Zerona laser treatment. There are certain conditions where the Zerona laser is not indicated.

Based on your conversation with the doctor, she or he will decide with you the best treatment options are best for you and discuss in detail those options. A treatment time will be chosen and our various convenient payment options will be discussed with you.

Beginning Care: Pre-Treatment Preparation

Before your first treatment, it’s important to begin the hydration process. Dr. Malay recommends drinking at least half your body weight in ounces of water. For example a 140 pound person should drink at least 70 ounces of water. This would be about 8 bottles of water (the size that is complimentary in the office). Increasing your fiber intake with either 2 apples per day or a fiber supplement bar is also recommended.

Treatment Visit #1

It’s here! Your first visit with the Zerona LipoLaser! Before we begin your session it’s important that we get accurate measurements of your waist, hips and thighs. If you are targeting an area other than the waist, hips, or thighs, a measurement of that body area will be taken. Your height and weight will be recorded. A “before” picture of the body area targeted will be taken. This is done for your benefit so you can see the differences that occur.

Suggested clothing to wear during your laser sessions is thin running shorts and a sports bra for women. Gowns are also available for your use if you prefer.

In the laser treatment room you will relax on a comfortable massage table. The technician will set up the laser for you. The technician will confirm the target body areas you wish to be treated. Prior to your laser treatment, you will receive a lymphatic massage utilizing the Lymphstar lymphatic stimulation this last approximately 10 to 15 minutes. For the first 20 minutes you will be laying first on your back, all you have to do is lay back and relax and let the laser get to work. After the first 20 minutes is complete, the technician will return back to the room, you’ll turn over on your stomach, the technician will reposition the laser to the desired areas and you can return to your relaxing visit.

During your laser treatments, please feel free to catch a quick nap, catch up on any reading, or listen to your favorite music. A CD player is in the room for your enjoyment. You are welcome to bring an IPod or MP3 player if you wish.

Once a week you will do the EnergyBalancer Detox foot bath treatment. This treatments will take 20 minutes to complete and is done on either Friday or Saturday.

Most patients describe their treatments as relaxing. It’s a perfect way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of life and allow you to have a little “me” time.

Before you leave, your supplements will be given to you with written instructions. If you have any questions regarding the supplements, we’ll be happy to review that with you at this time and any time during your treatment. Continue your supplements until you have used everything completely. Some patients report continued weight loss even after the laser treatments have completed. You’ll also be fitted with a compression garment. For best results wear the compression garment during your waking hours.

Visits 2-12

Visits 2-12 will be the same as visit one without the measuring. Measurements will be taken again after completion of visit 12.
