Erchonia Emerald Laser

Erchonia Emerald Laser is the only FDA-approved laser treatment designed to help reduce fat in areas that have been resistant to traditional weight loss methods. It is market-cleared for full-body fat loss, making it an ideal option for individuals who are struggling with localized fat, particularly in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and hips. This non-surgical fat loss treatment is the perfect alternative for individuals who want to target stubborn fat without the risks, pain, or downtime associated with more invasive options like liposuction or cryolipolysis (fat freezing).

Green Wavelength

Green wavelength treatment is an exciting option for patients who want to lose fat quickly, safely, and comfortably. In simplest terms, it uses a low-level laser, or “cold” laser, to empty fat cells without destroying them. The mechanism is as follows: FDA-approved lasers penetrate the walls of the adipocytes—the formal name for the cells that store fat—through a process called photobiomodulation. While lasers vary, Erchonia’s Emerald Laser has ten 520-542 nanometer green laser diodes that stimulate the fat loss process.

When lasers are applied to the area in question, they create tiny pores or openings on the fat cell walls. This is important because the laser also emulsifies the fat inside the cell. The pores created by the laser serve as an exit door, allowing the emulsified fat to leave the cell. Emptying fat cells is preferred to procedures that fully destroy fat cells, as techniques that destroy fat cells often cause unintended weight gain in other areas of the body. Emptying fat cells also preserves them for future use.

Benefits of Green Wavelength

Choosing green wavelength treatment for fat cell removal has many benefits for patients beyond the fat loss itself. As mentioned, the fat loss mechanism behind this approach is gradual and non-invasive. This makes it safer than many alternatives. There’s no heat, anesthesia, incisions, bruising, or swelling with green wavelength treatment. Patients simply lie on a comfortable table, where the green lasers can be applied to various areas with unwanted fat. Each session typically lasts just 30 minutes.

The process is painless for patients—local anesthesia isn’t even required. As a result, this type of treatment doesn’t interfere with a patient’s day-to-day life. Surgical options for fat loss tend to have longer recoveries and may also result in scarring or other undesired side effects. With cold lasers, patients can continue daily activities immediately after treatment, making the approach both efficient and effective.

Using low-level lasers for fat loss is also an extremely precise option. Whether patients want to lose fat on their waist, thighs, hips, or arms, the treatment can be targeted to the exact area of concern. On top of that, when fat exits the cells, it generally releases endorphins—sometimes referred to as the body’s natural painkillers. Thus, patients may enjoy mood enhancements from the procedure as well.
