Meet “The Green Lantern”

The world’s first and only low level green laser approved by the FDA for non-invasive body contouring of the waist, hips and thighs.

With the introduction of the Verjú laser system, we are able to prove a greater outcome in less treatment time. By updating the laser diodes to the green diodes (hence "The Green Lantern" ) used in the Verjú, we can effectively deliver an even more efficient non-invasive treatment for body slimming and a proven comprehensive treatment for the appearance of cellulite. The updated technology allows Verjú to produce 25% more energy than that of the previously used red (635nm wavelength), to allow for even faster treatment times and a 25% increase in overall circumference reduction.

The remarkable Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images above demonstrate the 532 nm low-level laser’s ability to drain and collapse fat cells and liquefy adipose tissue. 


  • There are 6 green Verju lights. 
  • Patients lie on the massage table and the green lasers are carefully aligned to treat problem areas or cellulite.
  • For most a woman areas of focus include the abdomen and thighs. Men usually want to focus on chest and abdomen.
  • Patients are treated for 20 minutes while they lie on their back. Then patients are asked to turn over to treat the back.
  • Following the treatment patients then receive a short massage with a patented roller device to push the released fat away from the empty fat cells. The released fat needs to be helped away from the fat cells to avoid it being taken up again by the empty fat cells.


Consultations at Regatta Chiropractic & Laser Center are complimentary. If you'd like to schedule a consultation please visit our website or call our office at (850) 424-7856.

Storing Fat: Men vs. Women

There are many things that make men and women different physiologically, and the fact that we carry and metabolize fat differently is no surprise. Although these differences can be frustrating and puzzling for some, no gender has the upper hand in this situation. It’s just that our bodies were designed differently, and for good reason.
