The EmErald Laser

Why Emerald?

Inflammation, osteoarthritis, and extra weight all go hand in hand. As an integrated wellness center, we see the incredible need to interrupt the vicious cycle that so many find themselves caught within. Extra weight creates inflammation. Inflammation creates pain. Pain creates biomechanical shifts and tissue changes. This results in sedentary lifestyle behaviors which often leads back to more weight gain. At Restorative we are thrilled to introduce a new FDA-cleared medical laser that offers pain-free, clinically proven weight loss with no side effects in order to interrupt this cascade.

The Milken Institute has found that diet related disease including obesity, excess weight, and Type 2 Diabetes now cost the USA over $1,700,000,000,000 a year. Yes, you read that correctly…trillions! This accounts for nearly 10% of the nation’s GDP. Excess body weight is attributed to over 75% of osteoarthritis cases, 64% of Type 2 Diabetes cases, and 73% of all kidney disease. We are facing an epidemic of staggering proportions. Restorative Wellness Center is committed to helping stop it.

The Emerald laser uses low level green light that allows the contents of adipocytes (fat cells) to be released into circulation. This light also stimulates collagen synthesis which can tighten the tissue around the targeted area. The clinical research done on this therapy showed an average of 6” of circumference lost from the upper abs, waist, and hips in just four weeks of treatment! That was done without incorporating any dietary changes or exercise programs as well. In fact the participants of these studies were forbidden from even changing their regular hydration patterns. Please remember, this is actually allowing fat to be released and not merely changing the appearance of fat distribution like other modalities do. In contrast to many other fat loss techniques, it does not destroy or remove any of your cells! It is the only laser in the world given FDA clearance for overall body circumference reduction in patients with a BMI greater than 30. This is a NATURAL alternative to fat loss by using low level laser which creates a temporary pore in the fat cell allowing the contents of that cell to be released. Each session only lasts about thirty minutes and you can immediately go back about your days activities.

The Emerald is manufactured by Erchonia Medical, Inc., the world leader in low-level laser technology. Erchonia ensures that all of their medical devices endure extensive clinical investigations. Erchonia can validate their claims with statistically significant data collected from placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, multi-site studies.

As a holistic team, we want to see your health restored through improved lab markers, less joint strain, improved posture, and better lifestyle choices.

This modality could actually be the key to unlocking the weight loss you have sought to restore your health and well-being.

How Emerald Works

The Emerald is composed of 10 laser heads, all emitting a laser light at 532nm with approximately 17.5mW of energy. The Emerald is classified as a Class IIB laser with no recorded side-effects. The Emerald Therapy holds great potential for initiating the start of your new and healthy life and does so safely and non-invasively.

This treatment is the application of a 532nm low intensity laser, which has been shown through extensive research to cause the fat within the adipocyte (fat cell) to leave the cell and accumulate in the interstitial space around the cells. In contrast to high-power, high heat lasers that are used in various medical procedures, the low-level laser used for this treatment has no thermal effect on tissue. Instead, the non-invasive laser helps the body absorb fat by stimulating its biological function. Excess fat is then removed naturally by the body’s lymphatic system and subsequently excreted without the negative side effects and downtime associated with more invasive procedure such as liposuction.
