The Power of Green Technology
Body Confidence Under Your Control
Green laser lipo is a no-contact, non-invasive, and non-thermal body contouring treatment clinically proven to effectively reduce unwanted fat and cellulite while promoting internal healing. This innovative slimming laser operates as a natural alternative for fat loss, using low-level laser light therapy (LLLT) to create temporary pores in fat cells, allowing fatty liquids to seep out and be naturally flushed through the lymphatic system. The treatment offers various benefits beyond fat reduction, including pain relief, inflammation reduction, and overall healing.
​
This therapy utilizes Low-level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT), employing 10 laser diodes simultaneously targeting the selected area. Patients lie beneath the device emitting a series of green lasers, gently traversing the skin's surface. This process facilitates the release of fat from targeted cells, aiding the body's natural disposal mechanisms. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in eliminating excess fat, with enhanced circulation achieved through regular, mild exercise and increased water intake. The Emerald Laser treatment comprises 30-minute sessions, with 15 minutes allocated to treating the front of the target area and the remaining 15 minutes dedicated to the back or underside. In conjunction with the Emerald Laser treatment, additional recommendations may include the use of EmSculpt to increase the effect of fat reduction as well as increasing density and strength of muscles including the pelvic floor.
Ideal for both small and larger areas of fat, it provides a non-surgical alternative for individuals wanting to contour specific regions without undergoing invasive procedures. This method is FDA approved and suitable for both men and women wanting to reduce body circumference, even in individuals with a BMI up to 40. Commonly targeted areas include arms, back, bra fat, hips, waist, thighs, bum, legs, knees, chin, and jowls.
How Does Laser Lipo Work?
Low-Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT), commonly known as green laser liposuction, uses low-intensity lasers or LEDs to stimulate cellular function without generating heat. The term "green laser" refers to the specific wavelength of light used, typically around 532 nanometres, targeting adipose (fat) tissue selectively.
​
The absorbed green laser light is believed to enhance mitochondrial activity within adipose cells, contributing to increased cellular metabolism. This heightened metabolic activity may lead to the temporary opening of pores in fat cell membranes, releasing triglycerides (stored fat) into the interstitial space. These released fats are then transported through the lymphatic system for processing and elimination.
​
In addition to its impact on fat cells, LLLT is thought to stimulate collagen production, a protein crucial for skin structure. This effect contributes to skin tightening and improved overall skin tone, addressing concerns related to sagging or laxity. LLLT may also have broader effects, promoting overall cellular repair and regeneration. It is associated with improved blood circulation, the promotion of growth factors, and support for tissue healing.
​
A notable advantage of green laser lipo is its non-invasive nature. Unlike traditional liposuction, there are no incisions, anaesthesia, or downtime. However, it's crucial to note that individual results can vary. Lifestyle factors, including diet and exercise, play a significant role in achieving and maintaining desired outcomes.
Green Laser Lipo - FAQs
In a nutshell, the green laser lipo uses a wavelength of 532nm, functioning as a non-thermal, low-level laser. This technology temporarily creates pores in fat cells, allowing fat to escape without eliminating the cells themselves. The released fat is then naturally processed and removed by the lymphatic system.
Why is retaining fat cells advantageous?
Traditional, more invasive fat-reduction treatments have focused on destroying fat cells. However, emerging evidence suggests that annihilating fat cells may prompt the remaining ones to proliferate. Fat cells, or adipocytes, serve as part of the endocrine system, and thus fat should be viewed as an organ in its own right. These cells are essential for nutrient regulation and hormone secretion, affecting aspects of our health ranging from blood pressure to thyroid function and even fertility. Overstuffed adipocytes can have negative health implications. After laser treatment, the cells transform back into lean, healthy adipocytes, sending accurate signals to the brain. Remarkably, this initiates a communication chain throughout the adipose tissue, prompting other fat cells to also release their fat content and revert to a healthier state with normalised hormonal responses.
What are the other benefits of laser lipo?
While the primary FDA approval for green laser lipo at 532nm focuses on fat reduction, case studies suggest that it may also alleviate pain and inflammation. Numerous patients who have undergone low-level laser light therapy for fat reduction have reported improvements in various symptoms, such as sciatica and menstrual discomfort. Although further research is in progress, it's worth noting that we also offer EVRL technology from Erchonia, the creators of Emerald, which has received multiple FDA clearances for pain management applications. Additionally, green laser lipo is shown to boost levels of ATP, essentially serving as cellular fuel. Consequently, many patients report feeling invigorated and experiencing an enhanced sense of well-being in the weeks following treatment. A more efficiently functioning fat organ also yields a range of systemic benefits. Scientific studies corroborate these claims, indicating advantages even in cells not directly targeted by the treatment.
Am I a good candidate for green laser lipo?
Unlike all other fat reduction methods, green laser lipo has the ability to treat both small pockets of fat and larger surface areas. It is FDA cleared for overall circumferential reduction on individuals with up to 40 BMI. This makes this cool laser the only suitable treatment for those who have larger areas of fat they wish to eliminate without undergoing surgery, or for those targeting their overall body circumference, including those dealing with obesity.
What happens during a treatment?
You will have had your consultation before the treatment appointment. During the consultation, your therapist will discuss your goals, and you'll need to complete consent forms. At your appointment, we will take photographs of your body from ankles to shoulders so you can track your progress after your course. After that, we'll make you comfortable on the couch and place the canopy of ten small green laser lights on the discussed body area/s. The lights are then adjusted and turned on by the therapist. Your therapist will check on you during the treatment to adjust the canopy and ensure your comfort. There is no pain, and you can sleep or just relax. Once the treatment is finished, you'll be able to return to your daily activities with no discomfort or downtime.
What does the body fat laser feel like?
Our clients experience no sensation while the ten green cool lasers gently swirl on their skin. Some even describe a sensation that fat is actually reducing while they are lying on the couch. There is no increase or decrease in heat during the treatment. The therapist will ensure your comfort throughout the 15 to 30-minute session.
Is there any downtime?
Green laser lipo is a wonderful option from our range of fat reduction treatments as it is totally non-invasive. There is no recovery time or any special pre/post-treatment routines. There's absolutely no downtime involved, allowing you to seamlessly fit it into your schedule. There's absolutely no downtime involved, so you can fit it into your schedule seamlessly.
How long does a treatment take?
Depending on the chosen areas, a regular treatment session typically lasts around 30 minutes. For some clients, it can extend to 60 minutes if targeting both flanks in one session. We will advise you before you decide to proceed with the treatments. To achieve the best results, it is generally recommended to undergo a course of 6 to 10 sessions. Clients are advised to attend two treatments a week, with at least 48 hours between each session. Following this initial course, some clients choose to book additional sessions for maintenance, but they only need to come in once a week.
Do I need to do anything before or after a treatment?
You don’t have to do anything in preparation for your slimming treatment, and there is no downtime or side-effects. It's a fat-burning process without the sweat. When you’re done, you can get dressed and resume your normal activities or even choose to exercise. Aftercare includes: (1) Drink plenty of water daily; a minimum of 2 litres every 24 hours. This supports your lymphatic system in eradicating fat. (2) Try to avoid alcohol during your treatment phase and ideally for at least 4 weeks after. (3) Keep caffeine intake to a minimum, as caffeine affects the kidneys’ ability to process the released fat. (4) Minimise fizzy drink intake. (5) Stay active, ideally with daily exercise. If you lead a sedentary lifestyle, make sure to walk at least 30 minutes daily; this supports your lymphatic system in clearing the fat. (6) Adhere to healthy eating habits. (7) Follow the exercise guidelines outlined in the Patient Treatment Guide, incorporating small lifestyle changes like walking when possible. (8) Consider lymphatic stimulation through methods such as massage, lymphatic suit, vibration plate, etc. Failure to follow the outlined Patient Protocol may result in the failure to achieve the anticipated results.
How soon will I see results?
Many clients mention feeling slimmer after the second or third session, with the most significant changes reported between sessions 4 and 8. Alongside each treatment, they observe increased body firmness and reduced cellulite. Some even note a tightening of the skin. We will measure your body after the midway session; for example, if the course consists of 8 sessions, this measurement will be taken at the end of the fourth session. Your body fat loss will continue in the following sessions, and the results will also depend on your maintenance routine. Once you complete your sessions, we recommend adopting a good exercise regimen and maintaining a balanced diet to sustain the achieved results.
​Is laser lipo safe?
Green laser liposuction, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is generally considered safe and has shown positive outcomes in some studies. Although the overall scientific consensus is not entirely clear, promising evidence supports its effectiveness in fat reduction. When performed by qualified and certified practitioners in regulated facilities, the procedure is considered safe. However, it is advisable to have a consultation with a healthcare professional to assess individual medical history and potential contraindications. While side effects such as redness or swelling may occur, they are typically mild. Managing realistic expectations is important, but the procedure can be a viable option for individuals seeking a non-invasive approach to fat reduction.
How many treatments will I need?
Many patients will notice fat reduction in the treated body area after the first few sessions. However, for the best possible results, it is recommended to complete a minimum of six sessions within three weeks. Green laser lipo could be your new best friend for achieving results that no other fat reduction treatment can match. We are finding that patients are experiencing amazing results with this innovative treatment. If you are seeking a slimmer, firmer body, why not give it a try instead of opting for more invasive treatments?
