Struggling to reduce overall body fat—even with a healthy lifestyle? Or noticing specific areas where stubborn fat and cellulite simply won’t shift? The Emerald™ Laser offers a safe, non-invasive solution for full-body fat loss, with the added ability to target problem areas where needed.

Emerald™ is the only device on the market FDA-cleared to treat individuals with a BMI of up to 40. In a typical six-session course, clients lose an average of 15.24 cm (6 inches) across the waist, hips, thighs and other key areas—without pain, side effects, or recovery time.

Whether you’re seeking overall body slimming or focused contouring, Emerald™ provides clinically proven results through a natural, non-destructive process.


Discover clinically proven full-body fat loss with the Emerald™ Laser at VL Aesthetics in Carlisle — the only FDA-cleared device for fat reduction in clients with a BMI of up to 40. Whether you’re looking to slim down overall or target stubborn areas, Emerald™ delivers measurable results with no pain, downtime, or surgery. Book your Consultation today and take the first step towards safe, natural fat loss.

 

What Is Emerald™ Laser?

Emerald™ is a low-level laser therapy device designed for fat reduction. It uses ten 532nm green laser beams to target fat cells without harming surrounding tissue. The laser energy creates temporary pores in the fat cell membrane, allowing stored fat to be released and processed naturally by your lymphatic system.

Unlike treatments that kill fat cells through freezing or heat (e.g. CoolSculpting® and SculpSure®), Emerald™ simply shrinks them. This allows fat cells to continue functioning normally—supporting healthier hormone signalling, improved fat metabolism, and longer-term results.

The process is entirely non-invasive, pain-free, and medically regulated.

 

Full-Body Fat Loss – Not Just Spot Treatment

While many body contouring technologies are limited to small, targeted areas, Emerald™ treats multiple zones simultaneously. It is ideal for clients seeking noticeable, full-body transformation without the need for surgery or recovery time.

Common treatment zones include:

  • Waist
  • Hips
  • Thighs
  • Upper abdomen

In addition to these areas, Emerald™ can also address localised fat and cellulite in more resistant regions, such as:

  • Arms
  • Neck
  • Buttocks
  • Ankles

 

This flexibility makes it suitable both for clients wanting to slim down overall, and those with specific aesthetic concerns.

Emerald Laser Treatment Areas

 

What Results Can You Expect?

After completing a typical six-session course, clients lose an average of 15.24 cm (6 inches) in total circumference across treated areas. Results develop gradually, often starting to show after the first few sessions and continuing as the body naturally processes the released fat.

Because the treatment doesn’t rely on inflammation or cell death, it avoids the uneven results or complications sometimes seen with other technologies.
