Erchonia Lasers Australia · FDA-cleared green laser

Body contouring, resolved at the wavelength of light.

Erchonia Lasers Australia brings you the Emerald Laser — ten 520–542 nm green diodes that empty fat cells without heat, incision or downtime. The first and only laser FDA-cleared for overall body circumference reduction in patients with a BMI up to 40.

How it works

How does green laser fat reduction actually work?

Green light at 520–542 nm triggers a transitory pore in the adipocyte membrane. Stored lipid moves out of the cell into the interstitial space and is cleared through the lymphatic system. The fat cell is emptied — not destroyed, not frozen, not heated.

  • Photochemical, not thermal

    No heat is delivered to tissue, so there is no thermal injury, no anaesthetic and no recovery period.

  • Cells stay viable

    Adipocytes remain intact and functional. Clearance follows normal lymphatic and metabolic pathways.

  • Wavelength is the variable

    Comparative research shows adipose tissue responds more strongly to 520–542 nm green than to red wavelengths at equivalent energy.

The range

The complete Erchonia laser range in Australia & New Zealand

Five devices across body contouring, dermatology, podiatry and pain management — all built on non-thermal, low-level laser technology.

Flagship

Emerald Laser is an FDA market-cleared, non-invasive full-body fat loss treatment. Ten 520–542 nm green laser diodes emulsify adipose tissue so it is released into the interstitial space and cleared by the lymphatic system. It is the only device FDA cleared to treat individuals with a BMI up to 40.

GVL Laser device

GVL Laser

520 nm green + 405 nm violet

The GVL is the newest addition to Erchonia's cold laser range and the first and only green wavelength laser to receive FDA clearance. It was shown to be the most effective wavelength combination for increasing range of motion and decreasing pain in a single session. Unique to the green wavelength is the ability to affect complex 3 in the electron transport chain.

EVRL Laser device

EVRL Laser

640 nm red + 405 nm violet

The EVRL is Erchonia's red and violet handheld laser and its most popular handheld device. Combining these two specific wavelengths into one treatment modality produced better clinical results than the dual red device and opened a new range of treatment conditions, stimulating complexes 1, 2 and 4. The violet wavelength also demonstrates anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties.

FX 405 Laser device

FX 405 Laser

640 nm red + 405 nm violet

The FX 405 laser scanner offers all of the benefits of the FX 635 with the addition of violet laser for treatment versatility. Alongside the violet laser's anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties, it produces more energy per photon; research shows the combination of violet and red lasers results in greater pain relief and enhances reactive oxygen species (ROS), which play an important role in reducing pain and inflammation.

Lunula Laser device

Lunula Laser

640 nm red + 405 nm violet

Lunula Laser is the first and only non-thermal laser FDA cleared for increasing new clear nail growth in individuals with onychomycosis. It poses none of the risks and side effects of oral anti-fungal medications and is painless, unlike other laser therapies. Full Australian product information is hosted on the dedicated Lunula site.

Results

Circumference reduction you can measure

Outcomes are recorded as measured circumference change across the waist, hips and thighs — not before-and-after impressions.

Photographs are unretouched patient images supplied by treating clinics. Individual results vary and are determined by your treating clinician.
