Overview
Emerald is Erchonia's low level laser system for non-invasive fat reduction. It is a green-wavelength, non-thermal treatment delivered over a fixed protocol while the patient lies still — no incision, no suction, no thermal load and no recovery period. For clinics, it is a distinct service line rather than an adjunct to rehabilitation work, and it should be planned as one.
No incision, no suction and no heating, which removes the recovery period from the patient's decision.
Treatment runs to a fixed cycle with the patient positioned under the emitters — the practitioner is not required at the table throughout.
Emerald is a program-based treatment, so it is sold, scheduled and reported differently to a rehabilitation adjunct.
Supplied, installed, trained and serviced by RehaCare as the authorised Erchonia distributor.
How it works
Emerald is sold as a treatment program, so patient selection and consultation happen before the first session, not after it.
The patient lies still while green-wavelength emitters run a fixed cycle. There is no incision, suction or heating.
Outcomes are tracked by standardised circumference measurement across the treatment course, the same endpoint used in trial work.

Evidence
Erchonia builds its indications on randomised, double-blind, multi-centre, placebo-controlled trials — the same standard applied to pharmaceutical review — so the claims you make in clinic are defensible.
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-site trial
Participants received a course of green low level laser treatments or a sham protocol, with combined waist, hip and thigh circumference measured against baseline by blinded assessors.
Reported outcome. The treated group achieved significantly greater combined circumference reduction than sham, forming the basis of the device's market clearance.
Controlled clinical trial in an extended BMI range
A separate trial assessed circumference outcomes in participants above the BMI range of earlier body contouring trials.
Reported outcome. Statistically significant circumference reduction was reported, extending the cleared patient range.
Study summaries describe the design and reported outcomes of trial work submitted by Erchonia in support of its device clearances. Full study copies and regulatory documentation are available to practitioners on request. Nothing here is patient-facing advertising or a claim of individual results.
Laser vs LED
Erchonia has always used LEDs as the placebo device in its randomised, double-blind, multi-centre, placebo-controlled clinical trials, to prove the efficacy of true cold lasers over LEDs.
Don't devalue your practice with cheap, at-home LEDs. A clinic-grade laser is what separates a billable clinical intervention from a consumer gadget your patients can buy online.
Reported outcomes from randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial arms, with an LED array used as the placebo device.
| LED vs laser | Red Only | Red & Violet | Green & Violet | LED (placebo group) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subjects (n) | 43 | 44 | 43 | 43 |
| Duration of pain (months) | 61.7 | 76.58 | 89.19 | 82 |
| Subjects meeting study success criteria (≥ 30% pain reduction) | 65% | 75% | 81% | 11% |
| Improvement in pain, baseline to immediately after treatment | 48% | 45% | 52% | 8% |
| Improvement in range of motion (°) | 14% | 29% | 32% | 2% |

Practice fit
Emerald needs a table, clearance around the gantry and a scheduled treatment block. In a three-room clinic that is a genuine capacity decision, not an equipment purchase.
Body contouring patients arrive through a different channel to referred rehabilitation patients. Clinics that succeed with Emerald build the intake pathway before the device lands.
Device selection
Two questions narrow five systems down to the one or two worth a demonstration. This is a starting point, not a prescription — our clinical team will still walk your caseload before anything is quoted.
