Backed by robust clinical evidence, the Emerald Laser’s non-thermal green laser technology offers an innovative alternative for whole-body circumferential reduction.
Developed by Erchonia Corporation, world leaders in low-level laser therapy (LLLT), the Emerald Laser uses a unique approach to fat reduction. Unlike traditional methods that rely on heating, freezing, or ultrasound to destroy fat cells, the Emerald Laser employs LLLT to emulsify stubborn fat without triggering cell death.
How the Emerald Laser Works
Non-Thermal 532nm Green Laser Technology
The Emerald Laser uses 10 high-energy green laser diodes to penetrate fat cells (hypertrophic adipocytes), creating tiny pores. This allows fatty materials (triglycerides and fatty acids) to exit and be naturally eliminated by the lymphatic system, while the fat cells remain intact.
1. No bruising, swelling, or redness
2. No downtime: 100% automated and contact-free.
3. Suitable for a variety of body types.
Key Benefits
Circumferential Fat Reduction
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery showed an average combined reduction of 4 inches across the waist, hips, and thighs after six treatments.
Suitable for Obese Patients
Another study demonstrated that patients with a BMI up to 40 experienced significant fat reduction (average loss of 6 inches) without lifestyle changes and with no adverse events.
Cellulite Reduction & Skin Tightening
The Emerald Laser has been clinically proven to improve the appearance of cellulite by targeting fat cells and promoting collagen remodeling.
Clinical Evidence
Study at the Mayo Clinic
Validated the 532nm green laser technology for effective weight reduction.
Multiple Peer-Reviewed Studies
Highlighting its safety and efficacy for waist, hip, and upper abdomen circumference reduction.
1. Suarez et al., 2014: Demonstrated the laser’s ability to contour the waist, hips, and thighs.
2.Roche et al., 2016: Confirmed significant fat loss with no side effects.
Beyond Fat Reduction: Wellness Benefits
Emerald Laser offers more than just aesthetic benefits.
It supports metabolic health and general well-being, including:
1.Improved Posture
2.Visceral Fat Reduction
3.Increased Bone Mass (observed in Styku 3D body scanner results).
4. Arthritis Relief: Enhanced range of motion and reduced inflammation.
5. Better Sleep and Energy Levels: Notable improvements reported by patients.
Preserving Cellular Integrity
The Emerald Laser helps transform fat cells into metabolically efficient cells rather than destroying them.
Why preserve fat cells?
Fat tissue is more than just an energy storage site. It plays a crucial role in:
1.Muscle repair
2.Hormone regulation
3.Metabolism and inflammatory responses
Destroying fat cells through methods like liposuction or freezing can lead to fat cell replenishment in other areas. Instead, the Emerald Laser supports leaner, healthier fat cells, promoting sustainable weight loss and metabolic health.
Real Results with Minimal Effort
The Emerald Laser is TGA and FDA-cleared for overall body circumference reduction, making it a trusted choice for both practitioners and patients.
1. 30-Minute Treatment Sessions
Treats multiple body areas in a single session.
2.Effective for All BMIs (up to 40).
3.No Lifestyle Changes Needed
Q&A with Dr. Christopher Leat
Medical Director, Envisage Clinic, Gold Coast, QLD
Q: Are there wellness benefits beyond fat reduction?
Dr. Leat:
Absolutely. In addition to fat reduction, we’ve observed improvements in bone mass, posture, and visceral fat levels. Personally, I’ve noticed relief from arthritis symptoms, including improved mobility and reduced pain.
Q: What advice would you give to practitioners considering the Emerald Laser?
Dr. Leat:
It’s essential to think beyond traditional cosmetic procedures. The Emerald Laser offers a unique solution for anti-aging, fat reduction, and overall wellness, helping clinics differentiate themselves in a saturated market.
Longevity and Preventative Medicine: The Future of Medical Care “I believe longevity and preventative medicine will be the next wave of medical care that patients actively seek.”While fat-freezing treatments may work for some patients, they come with several drawbacks:
1.Suitable only for a limited range of body types.
2.Messy and labour-intensive procedures.
3.Require detailed training for administration.
4.Depend on expensive consumables.
5.Can cause discomfort and occasionally adverse effects.
The Emerald Laser, however, has none of these disadvantages.
