How does low-level laser therapy work?
Emerald Laser™ is a low-level laser therapy (LLLT) that uses Erchonia lasers. When the lasers are shined towards your targeted areas, fat cells open up temporary pores to expel their fatty acids. This fat is processed naturally by the body. It’s called cold laser weight loss because these low-level lasers are “cold” — meaning they don’t cause damage or produce heat. By leaving cells intact, low-level lasers preserve tissue integrity while gently and effectively eliminating fat.
How long does it take for cold laser therapy to work?
This will depend on the patient and their body type, and how quickly their body is able to process the fat. With some patients, results using Emerald Laser™ will be seen after a few treatments, others will see results towards the end of the treatment cycle as their body will take more time to process the fat.
