Emerald Laser Treatment
What Is Emerald Laser?
Emerald Laser is a totally unique, new class of treatment developed by Erchonia. Emerald uses a bank of ten green 532nm lasers that rotate to cover the whole of the torso in a single treatment.
Treatment is utterly painless and completely safe from side effects.
The laser light at this wavelength penetrates into the fat where it has a distinctive effect on the adipocytes (fat cells). It makes these adipocytes more “leaky” so that they open up channels and release their stored fat.
In addition Emerald laser stimulates the release of cytochrome C oxidase, resulting in increased mitochondrial activity, resulting in increased ATP, NADH, and RNA and cellular respiration; increased nitric oxide synthase activity and nitric oxide production; and increased reactive oxygen species, which play an important role in cell signaling, cell cycle progression, enzyme activation, and synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids.
In essence this means an increase in energy and metabolism.
The net result is that a series of treatments can significantly lead to a loss of size and fat in the body.
Emerald laser has been studied extensively, including at The
Mayo Clinic, with many more studies ongoing.
Consistently these studies have demonstrated a significant loss of body size even in patients with a BMI of over 30 and up to 40 (i.e. so called obese and morbidly obese patients), even when no other lifestyle changes are made.
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?
Erchonia’s® Emerald laser is an FDA Market-Cleared full body fat loss treatment that allows you to target areas of stubborn fat.
Emerald Laser treats overall body circumference and is the only device FDA cleared to treat those with up to 40 BMI .
Applied externally, the laser targets excess fat by emulsifying fatty tissue through the use of cold laser technology developed by Erchonia®.
It provides an alternative fat loss treatment without the adverse side effects associated with surgical and other weight loss procedures like liposuction, cryolipolysis (Fat Freezing) and body wraps.
