General Information:

Doctor's Weight Loss Centers (DWLC) was established in 1981 by Dr. Roy Heron in Alexandria, Virginia. With the tremendous success of the landmark practice, DWLC has since expanded to two convenient locations in the greater Washington, DC area.

People are fatter than they have ever been. As we seem to get heavier and fat builds in areas around our body we would rather it not, we look for ways to reduce body fat, particularly around our belly and thighs. Fat is something no one wants to live with, and as we continue to get more overweight, science now has offered us alternatives. Fat reduction is now possible thanks to new breakthroughs in treatment. Reducing body fat is something we all want to do and in many cases satisfactory results may be possible in just one or two treatments sessions. New non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments utilize the latest in lasers and energy-based devices to deliver fat reduction with less recovery and shorter treatments.

The decision to have a fat reduction procedure is a serious one, with a number of pros and cons, and the best course of action is to choose a physician with ample experience in fat reduction. A personal consultation with such a doctor will help you understand the treatment options available, make clear the risks and possible outcomes, and the cost for such a procedure. Call today to schedule a consultation.

Services:

In 2005, Dr. Heron trained and became one of the first Bariatric Specialists in the country to master the laser procedure for the removal of cellulite utilizing a non-invasive laser. Dr. Heron now offers Smart-Lipo at “Heron Smart-Lipo Center”, the newest Laser Body Sculpting technique in the country, making him the most experienced physician in weight loss, laser liposuction and laser skin sculpting. Dr. Heron is a certified member of the Society of Aesthetics in Medicine in Laser Lipo-suction training. Despite all his accomplishments, Dr. Heron feels there is no greater personal reward than seeing his patient’s joy as they realize their weight loss goals and achieve the figure that they have desired all their lives.
