Emerald Laser Fat Loss Treatment

The Emerald was FDA approved for overall body circumference reduction, after two double-blind and placebo-controlled clinical trials demonstrated overall body circumference reduction.

*Clinical trials for the Emerald laser demonstrated that patients with a 30-40 BMI averaged a loss of 6 inches* across the hips, waist and abdomen after just 8 sessions (2 sessions a week for 4 weeks).

To put the above into perspective, a liposuction surgery is considered successful at 2-3 litres of fat being removed, which is the equivalent of 5lb of fat (or 4 inches). That makes the Emerald scientifically better for fat reduction that a typical liposuction surgery.

*Please note; Individual results vary depending on your body, goals, objectives, lifestyle, medical history and many other factors. 

The Emerald Laser is currently the only device to receive FDA clearance to treat individuals up to 40 BMI, which enables us to treat morbidly obese patients.

The Emerald is clinically proven to effectively reduce cellulite by targeting the affected fat cells.

Emerald allows to customise the treatment and target specific areas of concern, changing the body shape by reducing localised fat.

We all look on fat as being something bad, but fat in moderation is food for the body and energy for muscular action. Through chemical actions, fat protects us and tells us when we are hungry. The Emerald laser emulsifies the fat and turns it into free fatty acid, which our body can convert into energy to power and fuel activity, so you may notice you feel more energised after treatments.

The lasers used across Erchonia’s devices are designed to essentially fix & regenerate cells and rebalance hormones, therefore you may notice other positive effects from the Emerald treatment aside from the weight loss, such as improved gut health, improved mood, or improved sleep/wake cycle.

Not only are Erchonia lasers used for fat loss, they are used in many areas including pain management, cellulite reduction, pre/post-surgical management and pre/re-habilitation. The Emerald non-thermal laser promotes cellular health and therefore reduces inflammation and assists with muscle/joint pain and/or injury recovery.

The Emerald is an award winning treatment, winning Best Non-Invasive Body Shaping Technology at the 2023 AMWC Aesthetic Medicine Awards.

Most other invasive or minimally invasive procedures involve some degree of pain.  Emerald is truly pain free, is clinically proven as safe and effective. Most people feel nothing, and the few who do, only experience minor tingling. The Emerald is a relaxing treatment with numerous health and wellness benefits for you, which is more important than ever in the current climate. This can’t be said for any other technology in this market.

Emerald is a non-invasive medical procedure that involves targeting fat cells beneath the skin. Consequently, it does not require incisions, injections, or even human touch. Unlike liposuction, there is no need to wait for your incisions to heal because there are no incisions.

Each Emerald session takes a maximum of 30 minutes. That means you can make your Emerald laser appointment before or after work or during your lunch break. When you’re done, you can get dressed and resume your normal activities or even go exercise if you choose to.

There is extensive evidence and clinical support for the use of Low Level Lasers and Green Light Therapy in the medical field and medical aesthetics. You can find evidence here.

Erchonia, the developers of Emerald Laser are pioneers in the laser lipolysis industry, holding 20 of the 23 US FDA market clearances for Low Level Laser, making them the world leaders in low level lasers. They have over $5 million invested in any one time into research.

The Emerald fat loss laser underwent multiple randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-site clinical trials ()  to gauge its efficacy and achieved unrivalled and astonishing results, the most credible fat reduction research to date, leading to Emerald Laser’s historic FDA Market clearance ().

Works on larger patients/areas

Unlike all other fat reduction methods, the Emerald has the ability to treat both small pockets of fat and larger surface areas, and is FDA cleared for overall circumferential reduction on up to 40 BMI. This makes the Emerald the only suitable treatment for those who have larger areas of fat that they wish to get rid of without undergoing surgery, or those who wish to target their overall body circumference, including those suffering with obesity.

Non-surgical and non-contact

Emerald is a non-invasive medical procedure that involves targeting fat cells beneath the skin. Consequently, it does not require incisions, injections, or even human touch. Unlike liposuction, there is no need to wait for your incisions to heal because there are no incisions.

Convenient

Each Emerald session takes a maximum of 30 minutes. That means you can make your Emerald laser appointment before or after work or during your lunch break. When you’re done, you can get dressed and resume your normal activities or even go exercise if you choose to.

The Emerald treatment is a quick, no-contact treatment.

You will be placed onto the treatment bed and the Emerald will be positioned over you. We will first find the most severe areas of subcutaneous fat (or cellulite) and use the laser to target the area, positioning the head about 10-15cm away from the skin.

Emerald is a relaxing treatment, so as soon as you are in position and the lasers have been positioned correctly, you are free to enjoy the peace and tranquility of doing nothing whilst the laser works away at your fat cells.

If you are opting for full body circumference reduction, the treatment will take 30 minutes. You will spend 15 minutes on your back, and then 15 minutes on your front. If you are spot-reducing a particular area only, the treatment will be 15 minutes per area.

The Emerald laser works as a natural alternative for fat loss by using non-thermal low level lasers to create a temporary pore in the fat cells, allowing the fatty liquids to seep out of the cell and be naturally flushed through your lymphatic system.

1) Harmless energy of light uses specific wavelengths to trigger a chemical reaction in the fat cell which then opens up small pores

2) Fatty liquids begin to drain out from the small pores in the fat cells and the fat cells begin to shrink

3) The body then deposits the fatty liquids through the lymphatic system

Generally, the Emerald is suitable for most candidates; those who want to reduce a small area of fat, a larger area of fat, or those who have a BMI up to 40, and wanting to reduce their overall body circumference. (Not sure what your BMI is? Work it out here).

We do not recommend using Emerald™ if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker, or have photosensitive epilepsy. We also do not recommend using the device over an area of known cancer.

Emerald is FDA cleared for both spot fat reduction (targeting one particular area) as well as 'overall body circumference reduction' (treating the entire body), with an average body circumference loss of 6 inches.

Targeted areas can include;

• Arms
• Back
• Bra strap fat
• Hips
• Midriff/Waist
• Thighs
• Bum
• Knees
• Ankles
• Chin and jowls

The number of treatments that you will require will of course vary depending on the individual, your body goals, objectives, lifestyle, medical history and so on. In general, most patients will need a minimum of 6-12 sessions to reach their desired results, with a maximum of one to two treatments per week being the optimum frequency. This allows time for the lipids to drain from the cells.

On average, patients report seeing results around session 4, so you can expect to see results at around the 2 week mark if you have 2 sessions per week. However, some have seen improvements after the very first session, and it's worth noting that the results will continue to improve with each treatment.

The treatment is officially labelled as ‘non-temporary’ by the FDA, so as long as you lead a normal-to-healthy lifestyle, your results will continue. To give an example, if you consume 4000 calories per day, although you will lose inches during the Emerald treatments, you may quickly put those inches back on. We generally recommend that you promote small lifestyle changes along with your Emerald course, with the option of maintenance treatments if required.

In short, no. There are no negative side effects to the Emerald. There are however, positive side effects;

• The Emerald Laser was invented by Erchonia, who are world leaders in professional Low-Level Laser Therapy technology for fat loss, body sculpting, reduction in cellulite, pain management, pre and post-surgical management, pre and rehabilitation and nail/skin pathologies.
• The lasers used across Erchnonia’s devices are designed to improve health and rebalance hormones, therefore you may notice other positive side effects from the Emerald treatment, such as improved gut health, improved mood, or improved sleeping pattern.
• We all look on fat as being something bad, but fat in moderation is food for the body and energy for muscular action. Through chemical actions, fat protects us and tells us when we are hungry. Erchonia's Emerald laser emulsifies the fat and turns it into free fatty acid, which our body can convert into energy to power and fuel activity, so you may notice you feel more energised after treatments.
• When targeted fat cells begin to drain of their fatty liquids, they send signals to the surrounding fat cells who will then begin to behave in the same way, so the results will continue to improve over time.
