Emerald laser is the newest and safest fat reduction technology

Mitochondria is a vital part (organelle) of every cell, the main “producer” of energy. Another extremely important function of mitochondria has been revealed: as the body ages, DNA mutations and oxidative damage accumulate in mitochondria, thus mitochondria disappear, their function weakens, which promotes aging processes and senile tissue damage. In order to slow down these processes, the main goal of future anti-aging medicine will be to restore mitochondrial activity.

The Emerald laser works precisely by activating mitochondria, which leads not only to an improvement in the function of fat cells, but also to other health-beneficial results – the structure of collagen and elastin is gradually restored and the appearance of the skin is improved, the signs of cellulite are reduced. Cholesterol is often reduced, in the case of prediabetes – blood glucose concentration, a surge of energy is felt, the quality of sleep improves, chronic inflammation is inhibited, and immunity is improved.

Depending on the individual characteristics of the body, the lymphatic system, the course of procedures can vary from 6 to 10. More procedures may be needed to achieve the desired result if you are over 55 years old, if you have been smoking for more than 10 years, as well as if you take certain medications (e.g. antidepressants), if the body mass index is greater than 33 kg/m2, or there are very pronounced weight fluctuations, extremely impaired lymph circulation (menopause, certain diseases, hormonal changes, previous surgical interventions such as liposuction, etc.)

The first results usually begin to appear after 2 weeks, and the final results – within a few months after the end of the course of procedures. Cumulative volume reduction of up to 15 cm has been clinically proven, when measuring the abdomen, hips, thighs, without adjusting the lifestyle and without applying additional measures. By applying small lifestyle changes and other methods together, incredible changes can be achieved!

A few weeks before starting the procedures, it is important to maximize lymph circulation: start eating healthier, drink more fluids, slightly increase physical activity (take the stairs instead of the elevator, go for a walk, etc.). In some cases, especially if the tissues are extremely damaged by cellulite, it is possible to start from lymphatic drainage and massage procedures. When coming to the first procedure, it is recommended to have the results of previous tests with you, to know your health history. During the procedure, you will only need to lie comfortably and expose the treated area, so no special preparation is required.

During the procedure, the activity of the fat cell is regulated and fat is forced to be removed from it, but the removal of fat from the body largely depends on good lymphatic circulation. Therefore, both before and after the procedure, it is extremely important to stimulate the lymphatic system: drink a lot of water, be more physically active, as well as combine Emerald with lymphatic drainage or other procedures that activate the lymphatic system (for example, Venus Legacy, Emsculpt Neo).

The procedure begins with a detailed consultation with a specialist. Your expectations and expected results are discussed, health status is assessed, volumes, weight, body fat are measured. In some cases, blood tests (cholesterol, glucose concentration) are also performed.

After an individual consultation, a beauty plan is drawn up, recommendations are given and the procedure begins. During the procedure, you only need to lie comfortably, and Emerald will do all the work itself. This is a painless procedure, during which you may not feel anything or feel a mild tingling sensation. After the procedure, you will immediately return to normal mode.

Fat cells (lipocytes, adipocytes) are cells that store excess energy (body reserves) in the form of fat. Previously, it was believed that this is the only function of lipocytes. However, recently it has been proven that lipocytes are an extremely important part of the neuroendocrine system. Hormones produced by lipocytes are involved in such important processes as metabolism, blood pressure regulation, reproduction, regulation of hunger and satiety sensations, even thyroid gland activity. How much fat the body will tend to store depends on the hormones produced by fat cells. Fat cells are an important part of the endocrine system, so it should be given appropriate attention.

There is more and more evidence that when fat cells are destroyed in one part of the body (for example, in the case of liposuction, cryotherapy), often (without following a very strict diet and not being physically active) the opposite effect is obtained – the body tends to accumulate fat reserves in other parts of the body, so the appearance becomes disproportionate.

During Emerald procedures, the fat cell is preserved and its endocrine function is adjusted at the same time. Thus, it becomes a healthy fat cell, regulating the activity of other fat cells through neurohumoral connections! Thus, the effect of Emerald is systemic, when not only the endocrine activity of lipocytes is restored, but also the hormones of hunger and satiety, which makes it much easier to lose weight. The Emerald laser affects the natural functions of fat cells, ultimately promoting the reduction of fat accumulation.

Emerald uses a beam with a wavelength of 532 nm, which penetrates the fatty tissue. Laser energy initiates chemical reactions in the mitochondria of fat cells (lipocytes), as a result of which a biochemical chain begins.

The laser energy activates an enzyme in the mitochondria called cytochrome Coxidase, which increases the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate, a chemical compound that is the body’s “energy currency”). The cell responds to this biochemical cascade by liquefying the fats inside it to fatty acids and opening temporary pores in its membrane. The liquefied fat is removed from the cell through the aforementioned pores into the intercellular space, and then into the lymphatic vessels. With the lymph, fatty acids are transported to the lymph nodes, where they are broken down by macrophages (a type of lymphocyte), after which they are used for the nutrition of organs and muscles.

Thus, during the procedure, more energy is produced in the cells and energy deposits that already exist in the form of fat are consumed.

The procedure is suitable for volume reduction of all parts of the body (except the face area). Most often, clients choose the areas of the abdomen, back, thighs, buttocks, upper arms, and double chin area. The laser is designed to gently and widely cover multiple areas at once.

The procedure is not suitable for active oncological diseases, epilepsy, during pregnancy, breastfeeding, if a pacemaker is implanted, while taking some medications. The procedure may not be as effective if you have recently gained weight (for example, under a lot of stress, emotional eating), if you do not drink enough fluids, if you lead a completely sedentary lifestyle, abuse alcohol or have other bad habits.
