Emerald Laser​
The Emerald Laser is a non-invasive, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) device designed for fat reduction, body contouring, and cellulite improvement. Unlike traditional fat-reduction methods that destroy fat cells through heat or freezing, the Emerald Laser uses 10 green laser diodes (532 nm) to temporarily emulsify fat cells, causing them to release their stored contents and shrink, leading to a leaner, healthier cell without harming surrounding tissue.
Description and Mechanism
•Non-Thermal/Cold Laser: It is a "cold" laser, meaning it does not burn or freeze the skin.
•Cellular Action: The 532 nm green laser stimulates fat cells to create temporary micropores, allowing fatty lipids to drain out, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated through the body’s lymphatic system.
•Cell Preservation: Instead of destroying fat cells, the laser shrinks them, encouraging them to function more efficiently and support a more balanced metabolism.
•Technology: Developed by Erchonia, it is a hands-free, automated 30-minute session.
Face Medical Clinic
•Safeness FDA Cleared: The Emerald Laser is FDA-cleared as a safe and effective, non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment for reducing body circumference.
Erchonia - No Adverse Effects: It is considered highly safe with no reported adverse side effects, no bruising, no swelling, and no freezing, making it a lower-risk alternative to procedures like cryolipolysis (fat freezing) or liposuction.
•BMI Inclusivity: It is the only FDA-cleared device approved for individuals with a BMI of up to 40 (which includes those with obesity).
•Safe for All Skin Types: It can be used on all skin tones and body types.
Uses
•Stubborn Fat Reduction: Targeted reduction of resistant fat in areas such as the waist, hips, thighs, arms, back, chest, and ankles.
•Body Contouring: Sculpts the body by creating a more defined silhouette.
•Cellulite Improvement: Helps reduce the dimpling associated with cellulite by decreasing fat cell volume.
•Full-Body Transformation: Used for overall circumferential reduction rather than just spot treating.
•Skin Quality Improvement: Indirectly improves skin firmness by reducing mechanical pressure within the treated tissue.
Medical Indications and Wellness Benefits
•Non-Invasive Dermatological Aesthetic Treatment: Indicated for reducing body circumference (waist, hips, thighs).
•Metabolic Health Support: The process can help reduce levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the body.
•Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Studies suggest the treatment can improve insulin sensitivity.
•Reduced Inflammation: The 532 nm wavelength may reduce visceral (organ) fat, and reduce inflammation, offering potential benefits for metabolic syndrome.
•Cellular Regeneration: Promotes mitochondrial health, which can increase energy production and stimulate healing.
Typical Treatment Protocol
•A course typically consists of 6–12 sessions, usually 2-3 times per week, with results beginning to appear within a few weeks.
•Patients can return to normal activities immediately, as there is no downtime.
•It is best for individuals close to their ideal weight, but its approval up to 40 BMI makes it effective for a wider range of patients.
