Frequently Asked Questions for Okanagan’s Only Emerald Laser Clinic

What makes Kelowna Body Sculpting & Laser unique?

We’re proud to be the only clinic in the Okanagan offering the Emerald Laser, a low-level cold laser treatment approved by the FDA for full-body fat reduction. This advanced technology, combined with our EmShape muscle-toning system, provides a complete non-surgical approach to body transformation—exclusive to Kelowna Body Sculpting & Laser.

Do you offer consultations?

Yes! We offer complimentary consultations to discuss your goals, assess your body composition, and determine which treatment plan will work best for you. You can book online or call/text us directly at (778) 363-5326.

What is Emerald Laser?

The Emerald Laser is an FDA-approved/Health Canada, non-invasive cold laser that targets stubborn fat cells. It helps your body naturally release fat through the lymphatic system — without surgery, pain, or downtime. It’s safe for all body types and ideal for reducing fat in areas like the abdomen, hips, thighs, neck, and arms.

Is Emerald Laser the same as CoolSculpting?

No — Emerald Laser is not CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting freezes fat cells, while Kelowna Body Sculpting and Emerald uses gentle, low-level laser energy to encourage the body to release fat naturally. There’s no freezing, bruising, or discomfort, and it’s suitable for more body types.

How many Emerald Laser sessions will I need?

Most clients see noticeable changes after a series of sessions, depending on individual goals and lifestyle. Your technician will recommend a personalized plan to help you achieve and maintain your results.

Is there any downtime after treatment?

No downtime at all. You can return to work, errands, or workouts immediately after your session at Kelowna Body Sculpting. Staying hydrated and lightly active afterward helps your body process released fat more efficiently. We sometimes suggest taking a walk around the Kelowna Waterfront to get moving.

What is EmShape and how does it work?

EmShape uses electromagnetic energy to contract muscles at an intensity not achievable through regular exercise — the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or squats in onesession. It strengthens, tones, and defines muscles while also improving metabolism and posture.

Which areas can be treated with EmShape?

Common treatment areas for the electromagnetic machine include the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms. Many clients combine EmShape with Emerald Laser sessions for comprehensive body contouring.

How soon will I see results from EmShape?

Many clients notice a difference in muscle tone and firmness after just a few sessions. Full results typically appear after completing the recommended treatment series and continue improving for several weeks as your muscles strengthen naturally.

Are the results permanent?

Results are long-lasting with a healthy lifestyle. The fat cells targeted by the Emerald Laser are gone for good, but maintaining a balanced diet and regular activity helps preserve your results.

Who is a good candidate for these treatments?

Anyone looking to reduce stubborn fat or tone muscle without surgery, needles, or recovery time. Our treatments work best for clients who want to target specific areas resistant to diet and exercise.

Can body sculpting treatments be paired with GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro??

Yes. Many clients choose to combine non-invasive body sculpting treatments with GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, Zepbound®, or other GLP-1 / GIP weight-management medications prescribed by their healthcare provider.

While GLP-1 medications can support appetite control and weight loss, some individuals experience changes in body composition, including loss of muscle tone during weight reduction. Pairing treatments such as muscle stimulation and non-invasive fat-reduction technologies can help support muscle engagement and body contouring during a weight-loss journey.

Our treatments are non-surgical, technology-based options designed to support muscle stimulation and body sculpting in areas such as the abdomen, glutes, thighs, arms, and waist.

As always, clients using GLP-1 medications should consult with their prescribing healthcare provider before beginning any new treatments.

Are the treatments at Kelowna Body Sculpting Safe?

Yes — both Emerald Laser and EmShape are FDA-cleared/Health Canada technologies with strong safety profiles. Treatments are non-invasive and performed by certified technicians in a professional.
