Emerald Laser

EMERALD Laser is a safe, non-invasive, non-surgical fat loss treatment which shrinks fat cells in stubborn areas of the body.

Patients lose an average of 6 inches over a course of treatment, with no downtime.

Most of us want to maintain a healthy lifestyle and do our best to eat well and maintain a regular exercise regime. However, for some of us, stubborn body fat can still remain in places where it will simply not budge, no matter how much we look after ourselves.

What is EMERALD Laser?

The treatment emulsifies the adipose tissue and releases excess fatty materials into the body, where it is lost through the natural course of detoxification through the lymphatic system.

EMERALD Laser is a totally non-invasive, hands-free treatment. It has:

  • No heating or freezing of the skin
  • No pinching or bruising
  • No incisions required
  • No downtime
  • No common side effects (discussed with your clinician)

EMERALD is a low-level, non-thermal laser which emits 10 532nm green lasers on to the skin, to break down hypertrophic adipocytes (fat cells) without killing them – this keeps the hormonal system balanced. The energy transfer from the laser triggers fat cells to release their fatty content, making the fat cells lean and healthy again.

Your DrMedispa clinician will provide manual lymphatic-draining massage to speed up the fat elimination process.

Frequently asked questions

What happens during the EMERALD treatment at Dr MediSpa?

At an initial consultation, we will discuss your body concerns and check your medical history to make sure you are suitable for EMERALD.

We will also discussed proactive lifestyle habits, such as diet and exercise, that will help you lose weight and maintain your results.

A treatment plan will then be customised to your goals, and you will be able to book in for your first treatment session at our London cosmetic clinic.

The treatment is straightforward and offers no discomfort or side-effects. Your practitioner will ask you to lie on a treatment couch, whilst 10 lasers are applied to the target areas to be treated simultaneously. The treatment takes around 30 minutes, after which, you can return to your daily activities with no downtime.

What results can I expect?

You can expect an average circumference loss of up to 6 inches with EMERALD laser. However, this will depend on your individual body fat ratio. If you maintain a healthy eating plan and regular exercise regime, this can increase the chances of optimum fat loss and long-term success.

EMERALD Laser results develop between 4-12 weeks as fat cells shrink down into lean, healthy tissue.

What is the difference between fat freezing and laser fat reduction with EMERALD?

Traditionally, fat freezing treatments such as CoolSculpting have been used by clinics to reduce fat cells by freezing and killing them. This has resulted in some fantastic cases, but some patients experience a phenomenon called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. This causes the fat cells to multiply and thicken, which actually causes a gradual increase in fat in the areas treated.

EMERALD laser lipo treatment does not heat or cool the treatment area, and it does not aim to kill the fat cells. The method of action triggers the cells to release their fat without harming the cell. Therefore, EMERALD Laser cannot trigger paradoxical adipose hyperplasia.

*patient results are individual and not guaranteed. Your results at DrMedispa clinics may vary.

How many sessions of EMERALD Laser treatments will I need?

This all depends on the amount of subcutaneous fat that you have and how many areas need to be treated. On average expect to have between 8 to 10 sessions for optimum results. Your treatment plan will be discussed at your pre-procedure consultation, here at Dr MediSpa.

How does a laser remove fat without heating or freezing it?

EMERALD Laser draws fat from cells using electromagnetic energy transfer. A photochemical reaction creates a transistory pore in the fat cell membrane; the fatty content of the fat cell is emulsified and then extrudes out into the interstitial space. The fat is then carried away and removed by the body.

Messaging between fat cells also triggers the expulsion of fat from cells over time, meaning that the EMERALD Laser fat reduction treatment stimulates fat loss during and after the treatment appointment itself.

How does EMERALD Laser fat leave the body?

When fat is released from the fat cells during the course of laser lipo treatment, your body’s natural rebalancing removes it. The lymphatic system carries the fat to be excreted.

Lymphatic flow can be stimulated and encouraged via manual treatment in-clinic at DrMedispa, as part of your EMERALD laser treatment.

Does EMERALD Laser hurt?

With EMERALD laser you can rest assured that there is no pain, no freezing, no bruising, no downtime and no side-effects, unlike some other fat freezing and laser technologies on the market.

How long will my results last?

If you maintain a healthy lifestyle and eat a nutritious diet, as well as exercise regularly, the results from EMERALD laser can be permanent.

I am halfway through my treatment programme but so far very happy with the results and service. I have made a big financial commitment but after initial consultations, feel well informed and believe my expectations have been managed appropriately. Everyone in the salon is very friendly and helpful and I feel comfortable and well looked after when I'm there. Ellie is very knowledgeable and thorough. Would highly recommend.

The only place I trust with my face. I’m quite particular and have a medical background, so I don’t say that lightly. Everything is done properly, with care and precision, never rushed. Ellie is incredibly thorough and consistent, and Olaya has genuinely helped me get my confidence and my skin back. Professional, honest, and results-driven. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I have been seeing Dr Somji regularly and exclusively for 10 years (usually every 3/5 months) and have always trusted his expertise I can honestly say he is the best. His clinic team also are fantastic. Last week I had a fire and ice facial with Mariana, it left me glowing and I also had a nice skin care lesson from Mariana, she was very knowledgable and it is certainly a treatment I would book again. Thank you to all the team

Great experience with Dr Munirs guidance, Dr Bhavik Shahs expertise and Claudia who performed the treatment for Dye IPL and Ipixel. The journey was carefully thought out and was a lot less painful than I thought. Thank you all at Dr Medispa!

Fantastic :-) I visited Dr Somji's mid 2025, and through a robust, transparent and consultative process, received treatment for my alopecia. After approximately 5 months from my first round of treatment, there are visible signs of my hair growing back A big shout out to Amz Dhanjal at the front desk for co-ordinating (and buying me a cup of tea from Gails)

I am very impressed with this Clinic. I am so happy with my Lip filler treatments from the very talented and artistic injector Dr Somji, who provided me with NATURAL results! He is very thorough, and won’t do any treatments he doesn’t think are necessary, he actually persuaded me to have less! During the consultation I was educated on all the risks, pros and cons, and measured my facial proportions to work out exactly what was best to suit my face naturally. His theory is ‘less is more’ and I completely agree! I went in thinking I needed jawline filler, lip filler, cheek filler and Botox which is what I’ve been told by other places, being ‘sold too’, in fact all I needed was a touch of lip and chin filler to balance my symmetry and this was absolutely perfect! He’s a master at the Cannula method, I felt minimal discomfort, had 0 bruising because the tip is blunt and my anxiety of injectables is now much less as I now know this is the safest method. I couldn’t recommend Dr Somji any more, professional, patient, understanding, safe and a master Injector! The Drs assistant Elli was very sweet too making sure I felt comfortable through out, embarrassingly held my hand to calm my nerves which I might add really helped! 5 stars!!!!
