What to Know

Treatment Details

**How the Emerald Laser Works** The Emerald Laser emits 532nm green low-level laser light that passes harmlessly through the skin and into fat cells (adipocytes). The laser energy creates temporary pores in the fat cell membrane, allowing stored triglycerides (fat) to leak out. Your lymphatic system then naturally flushes this released fat from the body over the following hours and days. Unlike heat-based body contouring devices, the Emerald Laser does not destroy fat cells — it empties them. Emerald is non-invasive, with no needles, incisions, or heat. **What to Expect** Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes. You'll lie comfortably while the laser paddles are positioned over the treatment area. There is no heat or vibration. Most people find it comfortable — many patients read or relax during treatment. **Recommended Protocol:** • 6 treatment sessions total • 2 sessions per week for 3 weeks • Results typically become visible after the 3rd–4th session • Optimal results seen 4–6 weeks after completing the series **Treatment Areas:** Waist, abdomen, hips, thighs (inner & outer), arms, and back. **Who Is a Good Candidate?** The Emerald Laser is FDA cleared for adults with a BMI up to 40. It is ideal for individuals who are near their target weight but struggling with stubborn, localized fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. **Pair With Wellness Programs** For best results, we recommend pairing Emerald Laser with our BHRT & Wellness program. Optimizing your hormones — especially thyroid and metabolic hormones — significantly enhances your body's ability to process and eliminate the released fat.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Emerald Laser really FDA cleared?

Yes. The Emerald Laser by Erchonia holds FDA Market Clearance (510k) for overall body circumference reduction, including waist circumference decrease. Multiple randomized, double-blind clinical trials support its efficacy.

How many sessions do I need?

The standard protocol is 6 sessions, 2 per week for 3 weeks.

How many inches can I expect to lose?

Results vary based on diet, activity, and metabolic health.

Does the fat come back?

The fat cells are not destroyed. They are emptied. If you maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, results are long-lasting. Significant weight gain after treatment can refill the fat cells.

Is there any downtime or discomfort?

There is no downtime. Most people find it comfortable, and the treatment is non-thermal. You can return to work, exercise, or any normal activity immediately after your session.

How is this different from CoolSculpting or liposuction?

CoolSculpting uses extreme cold to destroy fat cells, which can cause compensatory fat growth in other areas. Liposuction is surgical. The Emerald Laser is non-invasive, uses no heat or cold, and works with your body's natural processes to empty and metabolize fat cells — with no risk of the irregular results sometimes seen with cell-destruction methods. For the full side-by-side, see our Emerald vs CoolSculpting comparison.

Who is a good candidate?

Adults with a BMI up to 40, ideally near their goal weight with stubborn areas. We assess this at your consultation.

How much does it cost?

Series pricing is given at consultation; the $25 consultation deposit applies toward treatment.

Is the weight-loss consult free?

No. Weight-loss consults, like our other consultations, require a $25 deposit. That deposit applies toward a treatment or package.
