Learn How Laser Fat Loss Works (7:10 Min) – Doctor Jason M. Lord, Chief Clinical Officer

The Laser Technology Behind Non-Invasive Fat Loss

A transformative leap in fat loss technology took place in July 2022, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared the next generation of laser technology specifically for fat loss and skin tightening. At Laser Body Renewal, we use this advanced green laser technology, known as Emerald Laser, to help clients in Connecticut and Long Island lose stubborn fat naturally, comfortably, and sustainably, with no surgery or downtime.

Working With Your Body’s Natural Metabolism

This newest approach to fat loss takes a page right out of your body’s own metabolic playbook. It naturally and nondestructively uses a sophisticated spectrum of green laser light to gently open and drain fat cells. It mimics your body’s natural fat-release process, called lipolysis, rather than relying on fat cell-killing cold, heat, radiofrequency, ultrasound, or other destructive energy-based approaches.

The result is discreet, healthier, and more sustainable fat loss. Fat loss continues for up to three to five days after each session as your body eliminates the released fat. Fat loss happens at the pace your body can healthily manage, which helps you sustain the loss.

An Improvement Over Traditional Laser Lipolysis

This is a dramatic improvement over traditional laser-induced lipolysis. Rather than limiting energy to a single pinpoint or a scanning pinpoint like older lasers, today’s technology uses non-coherent laser light delivered through 150 diodes, safely providing 7.8 times more energy than traditional lasers. That broader, more powerful coverage allows more of your target area to be treated during each 30-minute session.

The Bottom Line

  • Lipolysis without equal when compared to traditional cold laser body sculpting
  • A true masterpiece of bio-modulation, where your body works in coordination with the laser to produce the best outcome
  • No adverse outcomes such as asymmetrical or lumpy appearances
  • No pain, no needles, and no downtime, so you can return to your day immediately

Backed by Clinical Research

Low-level laser fat loss has been studied in multiple controlled trials, including double-blind, sham-controlled research on contouring the waist, hips, and thighs. You can read the published studies on our research studies page.

Choosing the Right Technology

Emerald Laser is cleared for full body fat loss in people with a BMI of up to 40. For spot reduction in people with a BMI of 30 or less, UltraSlim red light therapy may be the better fit. Your consultation includes a 3D body composition scan so we can recommend the right technology and number of sessions.

Laser Technology FAQs

What kind of laser is used for fat loss?

We use Emerald Laser, which delivers a spectrum of non-coherent green laser light through 150 diodes to gently release fat from fat cells.

How is this different from fat freezing or heat-based treatments?

Instead of freezing, heating, or destroying fat cells, the laser mimics your body’s natural lipolysis process, allowing fat to drain from cells and be eliminated naturally.

Is laser fat loss technology FDA cleared?

Yes. This next-generation laser technology was cleared by the FDA in July 2022 specifically for fat loss and skin tightening.

Does fat loss continue after my session?

Yes. Fat loss continues for up to three to five days after each session as your body eliminates the released fat.

Is the laser safe?

Yes. The treatment is non-invasive and painless, with no downtime and no adverse lumpy or asymmetrical outcomes.

Why is newer laser technology more effective?

Older lasers delivered energy through a single or scanning pinpoint. Newer technology uses 150 diodes and delivers 7.8 times more energy, covering a broader area safely.

Is there research supporting laser fat loss?

Yes. Multiple published studies, including double-blind, sham-controlled trials, support low-level laser body contouring. Copies are available on our research studies page.
