Verju Cellulite Laser Treatment
Verjú by Erchonia® — A Commitment to Research
A large and growing body of research is revealing the unique and diverse biological response that occurs following the application of low level laser light (3LT®) to living tissue. Previous research has shown that 3LT® may induce a biological cascade at the cellular level resulting in observable clinical effects including promoting collagen synthesis.
The Study
A placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, multi-centered clinical study (n=34). The study enrolled healthy subjects who were 18-55 years of age and expressed a desire to improve the appearance of cellulite. Subjects had moderate bilateral thigh and buttock cellulite graded as Stage II or III on the Nurnberger-Mueller scale. This double-blind study randomized patients to undergo treatment with the 3LT® device or a sham treatment. Nineteen subjects in the 3LT® group achieved a decrease of one or more stages on the Nurnberger-Muller grading scale versus three subjects in the sham treated group who received no decrease on scale. Subjects treated with the 3LT® device also received a significant decrease in combined baseline thigh circumference at the (2) week end point and (6) week follow up versus no change for sham treated subjects. None of the participating subjects reported a deviation from baseline diet, exercise or medication use during the study that would impact study measurements.
The Technology
Erchonia’s Verjú system is a new revolutionary device designed specifically for laser cellulite treatment. The Verjú utilizes Erchonia’ s patented line generated low level lasers to target pockets of uneven fat in the thighs, buttocks and lower abdomen. The areas are then massaged with the Erchonia percussion device for two minutes per area treated. The Erchonia Verjú laser system was proven through a double-blind, multi-site, placebo controlled study. It is the only low level laser device on the market to receive FDA market clearance for the treatment of cellulite.
Did you know?
The Verjú also proves as an effective laser cellulite treatment for the circumference reduction of the thighs.

OxyGeneo
OxyGeneo is a treatment inspired by the natural healing powers of the hot springs, known for their astounding ability to oxygenate skin. By mimicking this phenomenon, aesthetic professionals are able to offer patients three treatments in one and can use the body’s natural mechanisms to revitalize and rejuvenate skin. This includes exfoliation (cleansing the skin of dirt and dead cells), infusion (revitalizing the skin with nutrients and skin care formulas) and oxygenation (a natural phenomenon that brings oxygen to the treated area).
Ultrasound
Ultrasound treatments are used to increase the permeability of skin allowing essential nutrients and formulas to effectively enter the epidermis.
TriPollar RF
TriPollar uses the power of focused and optimal radio frequencies to painlessly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, fat deposits and stretch marks. The energy delivered provides safe, immediate and rejuvenating results for the patient.
What Does Geneo+ Do?
The geneO+, using OxyGeneo’s three-in-one technology, provides patients with natural and effective revitalization. On top of this, special formulas, NeoRevive and NeoBright, work together with OxyGeneo to lighten the skin and rejuvinate it by:
- Hydrating and nourishing
- Softening wrinkles
- Minimizing pores
- Reducing sun damage
- Reviving dull complexion
- Reducing skin pigmentation
GeneO+ is an incredible combination of three of the most powerful and effective skin care treatments on the market: OxyGeneo, TriPollar RF and Ultrasound. These allied forces provide the patient an “Ultimate Super Facial” that won’t blow their budget. Treatments are safe, convenient, long-term and, most importantly, effective.

Is Zerona Effective?
You may have heard about Zerona laser fat removal on daily talk shows. It’s getting a lot of attention because it’s completely noninvasive, unlike liposuction.
But is Zerona effective? Is it safe? How does it work? There are so many questions when you have new technology, especially when it seems like it sounds too good to be true. It seems like every day some sort of miracle fat loss system comes onto the market only to disappear because it just doesn’t work. That is not the story for Zerona. It is here to make an impact and will only continue to get better and work more efficiently. That is the beauty of science.
Let’s start at the beginning.
Is Zerona effective?
Zerona has been scientifically proven as effective, but it does take some dedication from you.
Over the years, the idea of non-invasive body contouring has steadily grown in popularity and has quickly become one of the fastest-expanding areas of esthetic medicine. Patients prefer non-surgical treatments due to their fewer side effects and shorter recovery times. Since its inception, there have been many independent, nonbiased studies undertaken to determine the efficacy of Zerona to emulsify the fat contained within our cells and then evacuate that fat.
One such study tested Zerona in a double-blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo-controlled environment. After a full procedure, patients lost an average of 3.64 inches from their waist, hips, and thighs. This result is dramatic compared to the placebo group, which only lost an average of half an inch.
You can read each of these studies in depth here, but in the end, science is on the side of laser fat removal. Nearly every study corroborates with one another and determines that, with the proper adhesion to the appointment schedule, hydration, and a healthy diet Zerona is effective.
It’s incredibly important to note that “patient adhesion” and commitment to the procedure is absolutely vital to its success. You need to be able to adhere to the rigorous appointment schedule to make sure your body takes to the treatment properly and you also need to be sure to stay hydrated before, during, and after the treatment while avoiding alcohol and caffeine.
Is Zerona safe?
In short, the answer is yes. Zerona produces low-level, or cold, output energy that does not thermally damage the areas treated, making the therapy completely safe and doesn’t require downtime for recovery. Additionally, Zerona is one of the few noninvasive weight loss treatments that has been FDA approved for both safety and efficacy in achieving superficial fat dissolving.
Patients have referred to the treatments as quick, absolutely painless, relaxing and, even Zen like. You simply lay on your back underneath the laser for 20 minutes, then flip over and lay on your front for 20 minutes to ensure that both sides of your body can be treated equally and ensuring positive results everywhere. That’s it!
You can bring a book, catch up on your favorite games, call your friends, or just relax and let the lasers run their course. The developing medical team made sure to make the process as comfortable as possible and therefore making it far less intimidating to the consumer and therefore more obtainable. Invasive surgery is scary and can have severe side effects if performed improperly, laying down and reading a book is not.
Why is Zerona effective?
Zerona is effective because it delivers five rotating, coherent, cold laser beams that fully penetrate through superficial layers of fat that then starts a photochemical reaction. This reaction liquefies the fat cells which then get pushed out through a small pore and into the space between cells known as the interstitial space. Once there, the body will naturally collect the fat with the assistance of the lymphatic system, which distributes it into the bloodstream and takes it to the liver for elimination.
There have been concerns that when the liquified fat gets carried away through the lymphatic system it is simply being redistributing it throughout the body and not actually being removed. However, there have been multiple retrospective studies done on the test patients to address these concerns. Those evaluations found that the treatment did not just redistribute the fluid into different parts, but was successful at eliminating it and even helped start a fat reducing effect throughout the entire body.
So, is Zerona effective? Yes. Is Zerona safe? Yes. Zerona is revolutionizing the body contouring field and will continue to get even better. Many studies and clinical evaluations back up the conclusions supporting Zerona. This treatment is revolutionizing fat loss treatments and it makes it easier for everyone to obtain their goals.

Zerona 635 Laser for Plantar Fasciitis
Nu-Living is now offering the non-surgical and painless benefits of Zerona 635 Laser in the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis is a common, but painful foot condition that affects roughly 1 million people annually in the United States. The condition occurs when the tough, fibrous tissue (fascia) connecting the heel bone to the base of the toes becomes inflamed due to overuse. Often the pain is located primarily near the heel, making it difficult to bear weight and often comes with the first few steps after awakening or after spending long periods of sitting.
Women are often at the highest risk for developing Plantar Fasciitis as well as individuals who:
- Are overweight
- Have a job the requires a lot of walking or standing
- Walk or run for exercise, especially those with tight calf muscles
- Have flat feet or very high arches
How Can Zerona 635 Laser Treat My Plantar Fasciitis?
Zerona 635 Laser is undoubtedly the quickest and most painless way to treat Plantar Fasciitis without surgery. The secret to treating the condition is found within the FDA approved lasers within the machine. These low level lasers, unlike any other in the industry, are proven to promote cellular regeneration and reduce inflammation through painless bio-stimulation. Traditional, nonoperative, management of the condition can take up to 10 months, however the healing-promoting technology within Zerona 635 Laser will have you back to your active lifestyle in a few short weeks.
FDA Approved as Safe and Effective
The lasers within the Zerona 635 Laser machine recently received FDA approval for treatment of Plantar Fasciitis and become the only market-cleared lasers in the industry. Approval came after a double-blind, randomized, multi-site and placebo controlled clinical trial showed exceptional results with a marked reduction of Plantar Fasciitis in almost all of the 30 patients treated.
According to Michael Coughlin, MD, the clinical investigator, “[These patients] had suffered from plantar fasciitis for an average of almost a year—one patient had pain for 5 years. All had undergone a variety of non-operative treatments which had all been unsuccessful. At the year follow-up point, almost all patients noted a dramatic reduction in pain and an improvement in function.”

Skin Tightening Washington DC
Call today: (703) 379-7110
As skin ages, it naturally begins to wrinkle and sag due to the loss of fat and elastic tissue known as elastin. While these occurrences aren’t uncommon, they can be irritating and embarrassing for those concerned about their looks.
Fortunately, there are several different ways a patient can reverse their aging and experience skin tightening results.
The first is to keep the skin at a high temperature for a pre-determined amount of time. This delivers tightening effects and can, over time with subsequent treatments, build collagen in the areas treated.
Additionally, radio frequency energy, using mono-polar and tri-polar electrodes, can cause skin tightening. This treatment allows energy to reach the deeper levels of the skin, stimulating collagen production and fat melting.
Finally, laser light is frequently used for skin tightening but tends to be uncomfortable for patients. Fortunately Nu-Living has found a solution to irritating laser treatments. The Apollo Tripollar RF is a skin tightening, laser device that delivers incredible results without any discomfort or downtime.
