Dr Natalie Explains Emerald Laser for Incredible Fat Loss

Losing fat is something many people find hard. 

A 2022 NHS report found that around 60% of adults in the UK are overweight or obese. 

Even with diet and exercise – some areas just don’t shift. Treatments like liposuction and fat freezing are popular but can be painful or slow.

That’s why more people are turning to advanced options like the Emerald Laser. 

But what is it? How does it work? And is it actually effective? 

In this blog, Dr Natalie Geary explains everything you need to know about Emerald Laser for fat loss. She is an experienced aesthetic doctor and founder of Light Touch Clinic Surrey. With over 17 years of experience – she is known for offering safe and innovative treatments that deliver real results.

Emerald Laser is both the name of the device and the treatment used for non-invasive fat reduction. It is the first green laser approved by the FDA to reduce body circumference in people with a +30 BMI.

The treatment is gentle and pain-free. It requires no recovery time. The best part is that there are no needles or cutting involved. It is a safe option for those who want to lose inches without surgery or discomfort.

Dr Natalie, who has worked extensively with the Emerald Laser, says it is often used to treat multiple areas in one session. This makes it a practical choice for full-body fat reduction.

Emerald Laser works by using low-level green laser light to shrink fat cells. The device emits a specific 532nm wavelength that safely targets fat without affecting the skin or surrounding tissue. This light creates small openings in the fat cells – allowing the stored fat to be released into the body.

Once the fat is released – it is processed through the lymphatic system and naturally removed. There is no damage and no suction involved.

The treatment is completely contactless. Most people describe it as relaxing. Dr Natalie explains that while results take time – the body keeps clearing fat over the following weeks – which is why patients often see continued improvement even after their final session.

There are many fat loss treatments available today, but not all of them suit every person or body type. Dr Natalie often sees patients who want results without pain or risks. 

Here’s how Emerald Laser compares to two of the most common options – liposuction and CoolSculpting.

Emerald laser vs liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat using suction. It can take up to three hours and removes about 2 to 3 litres of fat – resulting in around 4 inches of reduction. However, recovery takes weeks and side effects like swelling or scarring are common.

Emerald Laser is painless and requires no recovery. Each session lasts 15 to 30 minutes and can treat multiple areas. Instead of removing fat with surgery – it helps the body release it naturally. Results can appear after two weeks – without interrupting day-to-day life.

Emerald laser vs coolsculpting

CoolSculpting freezes fat cells until they die and are removed by the body. It is non-surgical but can cause bruising or numbness. Full results take up to three months. Rarely, it may cause hardened fat instead of removing it – a condition called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia.

Emerald Laser doesn’t freeze or destroy fat cells. It gently empties them without causing pain or skin damage. The treatment is contact-free and suitable for people with a BMI up to 40. Dr Natalie recommends it as a safer alternative for those wanting inch loss without risk or downtime.

Emerald Laser is designed for people who want real inch loss without discomfort or disruption. Dr Natalie explains that its unique approach makes it both effective and easier to maintain over time.

• There is no surgery involved

• No downtime or recovery 

• It is suitable for BMI up to 40

• You can see visible results from as early as 2 weeks

• It can target up to 10 areas in one session

• The treatment takes just 30 minutes 

• It often reduces up to 1 inch after a single session

• It helps people who struggle with weight management

• The treatment is cleared by the FDA for overall inch loss

• It is completely painless and suitable for sensitive skin

• It may help improve how the body responds to insulin

• Research shows it can reduce fat stored around organs

• It could lower the risk of conditions like Type 2 diabetes

Dr Natalie explains that Emerald Laser delivers gradual but measurable fat loss – especially when combined with healthy habits. Clinical trials have shown a visible reduction in body size without the need for extreme diets or recovery time.

• In one study, patients lost an average of 10.5 cm across the waist, hips, and upper abdomen in just four weeks.

• By the end of the trial, participants had lost up to 15.2 cm without changing their diet or activity levels.

Most people begin to notice inch loss after two to three sessions. However, full results usually appear after completing a full course of 6 to 10 treatments. 

Emerald Laser is suitable for people who want to reduce fat without surgery or recovery time. It is a good option for those struggling with stubborn areas that don’t respond to diet or exercise.

• People with a BMI up to 40 – including those who may not qualify for other fat loss treatments

• Men and women who want to shape their body safely

• Individuals looking for non-invasive inch loss without disrupting their routine

• Patients recovering from other procedures like liposuction, to improve results

• Those with early signs of fat-related health concerns like visceral fat

• Pregnant

• Has a pacemaker

• Suffers from conditions triggered by light, such as photosensitive epilepsy

A consultation is always recommended to confirm if the treatment is right for you.

Dr Natalie explains that results with Emerald Laser build gradually. Some people notice a difference after just one or two sessions, but most need a full course for visible inch loss.

• Most patients need 6 to 10 sessions for best results

• Treatments take place once or twice a week.

• Each session takes 15 to 30 minutes

Dr Natalie recommends staying hydrated and active to support the process and maintain results.

The cost of Emerald Laser treatment ranges from £2200 to £3000 for a full course of 6 to 10 sessions.

At Light Touch Clinic – single sessions start from just £75. This makes it easier for patients to begin their fat loss journey without a large upfront cost.
