Integrate a BMI calculator LINK
Body mass index (BMI) uses height and weight measurements to estimate how much body fat a person has. To calculate BMI, divide weight in kg by height in meters squared; for pounds and inches, divide weight by height squared and multiply the result by the conversion factor 703. An easier way to measure BMI is to use a BMI calculator. Once you know your child's BMI, it can be plotted on a standard BMI chart. Kids fall into one of four categories:
- Underweight: BMI below the 5th percentile
- Normal: BMI at the 5th and less than the 85th percentile
- Overweight: BMI at the 85th and below 95th percentiles
- Obese: BMI at or above 95th percentile
Preventing kids from becoming overweight sometimes means adapting or changing your family’s overall approach to health, wellness, exercise and nutrition. Changing the way the family understands nutrition and incorporates it into their daily life makes a huge difference in their health and their future well being. Helping kids lead healthy lifestyles begins with parents who lead by example. At Heal n Cure, we develop personalized weight-loss and wellness programs and offer therapeutic treatments for the entire family.
We have a Family practitioner on board with an extensive experience working with adult and pediatric patients in outpatient as well as inpatient settings. That gives them an advantage of treating the whole family, which oftentimes makes it easier for family members to go through the weight loss program and improve their health. Our programs impact the entire family.
Among children aged 6 to 11 years, the prevalence of obesity has more than doubled over the past three decades, rising from 6.5% in 1980 to 17.0% in 2006. The rate among adolescents aged 12 to 19 years has more than tripled during the same period, increasing from 5.0% to 17.6%. (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention) Surveyed United States high school students exhibited the following unhealthy behaviors on a daily basis:
- More than 70% ate fruits and vegetables less than five times.
- More than 30% drank a non-diet soda at least once.
- More than 50% did not meet recommended levels of physical activity.
- More than 30% watched three or more hours of television.
The INSPIRE Core Wellness™ program effectively serves as a health and wellness program personalized for each patient through a physical examination and a study of the patient's medical history, biochemistry analysis, and bio-impedance-analysis. This program is uniquely tailored to each patient. However, there are some key components that are integrated into this program.
The INSPIRE Core Wellness™ program effectively serves as a health and wellness program personalized for each patient through a physical examination and a study of the patient's medical history, biochemistry analysis, and bio-impedance-analysis. Our physicians and staff will help ensure your weight loss goals are met by tracking your progress and addressing the underlying causes of the disease. At Heal n Cure, our Top Tier physicians evaluate a patient as a whole instead of focusing on one specific problem and effectively provide guidance on the root cause of health issues.
You can expect 40 minutes to relax, read or do absolutely nothing. The Zerona® treatment is completely painless. There is no heat or any sensation whatsoever while being treated. Each treatment you will be met by our physician or trained technician who will position the laser at the desired areas of the body, he/she will step out for 20 minutes while the front of your body is treated, and then will return to reset for the backside of your body for an additional 20 minutes. Once you are done, you can get back to your normal activities immediately with absolutely no downtime, nor pain, swelling or any discomfort. This is a symptom-free process except for losing unwanted inches.
In addition, our BLISS program can be also fully integrated with our exclusive INSPIRE Core Wellness program to help you achieve ultimate results. The INSPIRE Core Wellness™ program is clinically proven on thousands of patients we have worked with. You will have the benefit of the latest clinical research, body composition analysis, diagnostics and nutraceuticals. The Core Wellness program includes a personalized plan of nutrition, exercise, behavioral therapy and, when necessary, the prescription of appetite suppressants and other appropriate medications.

Most people are good candidates. Even people who are not overweight can lose inches. Be sure to discuss your health background with the physician and ask any questions about your particular areas of concern.
Some can see results after only a few treatment sessions as their clothes fit more loosely. Many actually see the difference after 4-6 sessions. Family and friends often notice the difference, too, within the 2 week Zerona® program.
It is recommended that you wait until after your last postpartum visit with your doctor (usually 6 weeks after birth) to begin your Zerona® treatment. It is not recommended if you are breast feeding.
Yes, with additional treatments you can expect to see improved results. You can start an additional series of Zerona® treatments immediately following your last treatment. Speak to your technician or physician about any discount programs that may apply.
By maintaining a healthy diet and exercise you can expect long-term results. Zerona® is especially ideal for 2 types of people: those that are already following a healthy diet and lifestyle and want to remove localized pockets of fat or drop body fat %, or those who want to use the Zerona® and the recommended lifestyle protocol to “jump start” their slimming efforts as motivation for maintaining a healthier and slimmer lifestyle.
Yes, with the Zerona® treatment and by following the recommended guidelines for success, we saw an average loss of 3.64 inches reported in our clinical trial on the waist, hips, and thighs.
The Zerona® has been used in studies since 2008 and has been used by physicians in practice since early 2009. The same Erchonia® Low Level Laser technology has been used to safely assist with tumescent liposuction since 2001 as it is proven to cause fat to be released from fat cells immediately prior to liposuction surgery. From this important experience, the Zerona® technique was developed for effective, totally non-invasive body slimming.
No. The treatment process is completely non-invasive and there are absolutely no side effects beyond loss of inches and fat.
Yes, with two exceptions. If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, Zerona® should not be used. Additionally, if you have a pacemaker, this treatment may not be for you. There are no known detrimental risks but potential unknown risks may exist. Zerona® may not be as effective on patients with diabetes or thyroid disorders where the metabolic system is potentially impaired.
Yes, there is no risk involved in using the Zerona® low-level laser therapy, and it is being considered as a safe alternative to invasive procedures such as tumescent liposuction and lipodissolve and other non-invasive devices like the Accent, VelaShape, and Thermage ,which rely on heating the tissue and can cause discomfort. None of these have the proven data showing how fat cell size is reduced like the Zerona®. The Zerona® treatment is 100% non-invasive and causes no bruising, scaring and zero downtime. During the treatment you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used and you can assume normal activities immediately following each treatment.
No, Zerona® treatments are considered elective and are not covered by insurance.
The Zerona® treatment can be used effectively on essentially every part of the body where localized fat deposits exist that are resistant to diet and exercise. Most patients start with treating the waist, hips and thighs, which can all be targeted in 1 treatment. Other areas include upper arms, bra-line fat, inner knees, back fat and buttocks.
Absolutely ZERO downtime. During the treatment you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used, and you can assume normal activities immediately following each treatment.
The Zerona® laser is the only completely safe and effective non-invasive treatment for body slimming on the market today. There is no possibility of injury. No technician will be pushing on you or using any device against your body. You will simply relax beneath the Zerona® lights.
Liposuction is an invasive procedure that removes the entire area of fat cells from deposits beneath the skin using a hollow stainless steel tube (called a cannula) with the assistance of a powerful vacuum. Liposuction can be accomplished either with the use of general anesthesia, or with IV sedation, or totally by local anesthesia. In contrast, the Zerona® treatment is a 100% non-invasive that uses a low level laser applied externally to stimulate the fat cell and emulsify and release fat. There is no use of anesthesia, nor any pain, gels, creams, numbing agents, needles and no downtime.
It is not recommended that you miss an appointment. Prior to starting the Zerona® treatment, it is important that you are committed to the recommended lifestyle protocol, which includes at least 6 treatments, every other day for 40 minutes and not to exceed 72 hours between treatments. If more than 72 hours intervenes, some of the fat may be taken in by the fat cells again.
Through clinical studies it has been demonstrated that the Zerona® low level laser stimulates the fat cell to emulsify (liquefy) the fat within the cell. Then the liquefied fat moves from inside the cell through a temporary pore formed in the cell membrane to outside the cell where it is in the interstitial space until absorbed by the lymphatic system. This results in millions of fat cells becoming smaller so inches are reduced off the waist, hips and thighs. The fat cells are not injured in any way by this process.
Yes, for some clients. Heal n Cure does not recommended this treatment for patients with thyroid disease, diabetes or any other disorders where the metabolic system could be impaired and/or their lymphatic and hepatic system is unable to process the fat. We actively monitor the FDA releases and alerts regarding any treatment we recommend. If you’re concerned about possible complications, make sure you discuss treatment safety with our Board Certified Physician specializing in non-invasive procedures.
The latest FDA cleared model is a safe alternative to invasive procedures such as tumescent liposuction and lipodissolve and other non-invasive devices, which rely on heating the tissue and can cause discomfort. Treatments cause no bruising, scarring and zero downtime. The latest FDA cleared model carries IEC 60601-1-2 EMC and Safety, and IEC60825-1 Laser Safety rating.

Areas that can be treated include forehead, unibrow, ears, cheeks, sideburns, legs, feet, lip, chin, chin strap, underarms, hands, back and neck. Our laser aesthetic treatments are designed for collagen remodulation, which will treat the wrinkles around your mouth and “plump” the skin. You may also see some resolution with pigment issues. With the production of your own collagen you should see a more youthful appearance.
Laser aesthetic treatments are suitable for both men and women and are excellent for treating acne scarring and the hyperpigmentation (dark spots) caused by acne scarring. However, we would need to make sure we have the acne under control before proceeding with laser treatments so that we do not cause flair up. Other types of treatments include:
- Unwanted hair
- Ingrown hair (PFB)
- Photo rejuvenation
- Skin tightening
- Permanent hair reduction
- Angiomas
- Fine lines
- Blemishes
- Scar revisions
- Sun and age spots
- Spider veins
- Rosacea
- Acne clearance
...and various other treatments.
Some patients might feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse, this discomfort resolves very quickly. For some patients a topical anesthetic may be used prior to treatment. These treatments might result in slight reddening or swelling. Overall, our laser aesthetic procedures are safe, effective, gentle and relatively pain-free. They rarely cause any type of pain after the treatments.
An effective treatment requires a clear target (hair follicle) for the laser. Your treatment area should be shaved recently to provide clear targets. Please shave within two to three days prior to your laser aesthetic treatment to ensure smooth and effective procedure. Prior to your procedure please discuss with us any hormonal issues.
For optimal outcomes please don’t expose your skin to sun for an extensive period of time or tan before the procedure. We recommend to wait until the tan fades, although you can still achieve great results while having a tan. Patients scheduled for hair removal should avoid plucking, electrolysis or hair waxing for six weeks prior to their laser aesthetic treatments. Your skin should be clean and thoroughly cleansed and dried prior to the procedure. Note: Sun burnt skin cannot be treated.
You will wear safety eyewear to protect your eyes from the laser light. Your practitioner will guide the laser to the treatment areas with the laser hand piece. A treatment could take as little as a few minutes or as long as an hour, depending on the area to be treated.
The number of sessions depends on the treatment you require and the condition of your skin. For hair removal, multiple treatments are required, as the process is most effective when the hair follicle is in its active growth phase. Other conditions may clear up in only one treatment, but factors impact the efficacy of the individual laser treatments, including the severity of the condition being treated. It can take anywhere from 3 to 6 sessions per area, depending on your hair type.
Yes, you should be aware of following Important Facts:
- Numbing creams are rarely used. The treatment is easier than waxing or tweezing.
- Thick or stiff hair is not an issue.
- All skin types can be treated, from fair to dark.
- The technician will perform test spots before doing entire area.
- All skin types can be treated.
There is little to no downtime after the aesthetic laser procedure. You will be able to immediately return to work or normal activity after your treatment. However, if you get sun burnt very easily you might experience sun burnt-like redness and possibly some swelling might occur within 1-7 days. Please keep in mind that older, more fragile, thin skin is more sensitive to a laser treatment. Please be sure to let the practitioner know about your sensitivity and recommendations to minimize downtime.
MicroPulse-1064™Technology pulse duration is shorter, so energy is delivered much faster into the targeted tissue structures (follicles, vessels, etc.). Targeted tissue has less time to lose heat through conduction to the surrounding skin, Therefore the targeted tissue reaches a higher temperature. A higher temperature in the targeted tissue translates into greater tissue destruction (follicles, vessels, etc.)
No, Lustre - Genteel Aesthetic Laser treatments are considered elective and are not covered by insurance.

For optimal outcomes please don’t expose your skin to sun for an extensive period of time or tan before the procedure. We recommend to wait until the tan fades, although you can still achieve great results while having a tan. Patients scheduled for hair removal should avoid plucking, electrolysis or hair waxing for six weeks prior to their laser aesthetic treatments. Your skin should be clean and thoroughly cleansed and dried prior to the procedure. Note: Sun burnt skin cannot be treated.

MicroPulse-1064™Technology pulse duration is shorter, so energy is delivered much faster into the targeted tissue structures (follicles, vessels, etc.). Targeted tissue has less time to lose heat through conduction to the surrounding skin, Therefore the targeted tissue reaches a higher temperature. A higher temperature in the targeted tissue translates into greater tissue destruction (follicles, vessels, etc.)
Yes, for some clients. Heal n Cure does not recommended these treatments for patients with thyroid disease, diabetes or any other disorders where the metabolic system could be impaired and/or their lymphatic and hepatic system is unable to process the fat. We actively monitor the FDA releases and alerts regarding any treatment we recommend.

You can expect 40 minutes to relax, read or do absolutely nothing. The Zerona® treatment is completely painless. There is no heat or any sensation whatsoever while being treated. Each treatment you will be met by our physician or trained technician who will position the laser at the desired areas of the body, he/she will step out for 20 minutes while the front of your body is treated, and then will return to reset for the backside of your body for an additional 20 minutes. Once you are done, you can get back to your normal activities immediately with absolutely no downtime, nor pain, swelling or any discomfort. This is a symptom-free process except for losing unwanted inches.
Most people are good candidates. Even people who are not overweight can lose inches. Be sure to discuss your health background with the physician and ask any questions about your particular areas of concern.
Some can see results after only a few treatment sessions as their clothes fit more loosely. Many actually see the difference after 4-6 sessions. Family and friends often notice the difference, too, within the 2 week Zerona® program.
It is recommended that you wait until after your last postpartum visit with your doctor (usually 6 weeks after birth) to begin your Zerona® treatment. It is not recommended if you are breast feeding.
Yes, with additional treatments you can expect to see improved results. You can start an additional series of Zerona® treatments immediately following your last treatment. Speak to your technician or physician about any discount programs that may apply.
By maintaining a healthy diet and exercise you can expect long-term results. Zerona® is especially ideal for 2 types of people: those that are already following a healthy diet and lifestyle and want to remove localized pockets of fat or drop body fat %, or those who want to use the Zerona® and the recommended lifestyle protocol to “jump start” their slimming efforts as motivation for maintaining a healthier and slimmer lifestyle.
Yes, with the Zerona® treatment and by following the recommended guidelines for success, we saw an average loss of 3.64 inches reported in our clinical trial on the waist, hips, and thighs.
The Zerona® has been used in studies since 2008 and has been used by physicians in practice since early 2009. The same Erchonia® Low Level Laser technology has been used to safely assist with tumescent liposuction since 2001 as it is proven to cause fat to be released from fat cells immediately prior to liposuction surgery. From this important experience, the Zerona® technique was developed for effective, totally non-invasive body slimming.
Yes, there is no risk involved in using the Zerona® low-level laser therapy, and it is being considered as a safe alternative to invasive procedures such as tumescent liposuction and lipodissolve and other non-invasive devices like the Accent, VelaShape, and Thermage ,which rely on heating the tissue and can cause discomfort. None of these have the proven data showing how fat cell size is reduced like the Zerona®. The Zerona® treatment is 100% non-invasive and causes no bruising, scaring and zero downtime. During the treatment you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used and you can assume normal activities immediately following each treatment.
No, Zerona® treatments are considered elective and are not covered by insurance.
The Zerona® laser is the only completely safe and effective non-invasive treatment for body slimming on the market today. There is no possibility of injury. No technician will be pushing on you or using any device against your body. You will simply relax beneath the Zerona® lights.
Liposuction is an invasive procedure that removes the entire area of fat cells from deposits beneath the skin using a hollow stainless steel tube (called a cannula) with the assistance of a powerful vacuum. Liposuction can be accomplished either with the use of general anesthesia, or with IV sedation, or totally by local anesthesia. In contrast, the Zerona® treatment is a 100% non-invasive that uses a low level laser applied externally to stimulate the fat cell and emulsify and release fat. There is no use of anesthesia, nor any pain, gels, creams, numbing agents, needles and no downtime.
It is not recommended that you miss an appointment. Prior to starting the Zerona® treatment, it is important that you are committed to the recommended lifestyle protocol, which includes at least 6 treatments, every other day for 40 minutes and not to exceed 72 hours between treatments. If more than 72 hours intervenes, some of the fat may be taken in by the fat cells again.
Through clinical studies it has been demonstrated that the Zerona® low level laser stimulates the fat cell to emulsify (liquefy) the fat within the cell. Then the liquefied fat moves from inside the cell through a temporary pore formed in the cell membrane to outside the cell where it is in the interstitial space until absorbed by the lymphatic system. This results in millions of fat cells becoming smaller so inches are reduced off the waist, hips and thighs. The fat cells are not injured in any way by this process.
The latest FDA cleared model is a safe alternative to invasive procedures such as tumescent liposuction and lipodissolve and other non-invasive devices, which rely on heating the tissue and can cause discomfort. Treatments cause no bruising, scarring and zero downtime. The latest FDA cleared model carries IEC 60601-1-2 EMC and Safety, and IEC60825-1 Laser Safety rating.
