VelaSmooth – Cellulite Reduction by Light Energy
VelaSmooth is a revolutionary technology that helps individuals to reduce the outward appearance of cellulite. Light energy has often been used for cellulite reduction and recent advancements in cellulite therapy have also introduced the mechanical energy like massage rollers and the use of suction devices to reduce cellulite. VelaSmooth is a new technology that combines the abovementioned three techniques to bring about cellulite reduction.
How Does the Treatment Work?
- Light energy: Combined energies of Bipolar Radio frequency and Infra red light are used. This produces heat within the tissues and increases the degradation of the fat. It also dilates the blood vessels and improves the blood circulation. The improved blood circulation washes away the toxic products from the site of cellulite deposition.
- Mechanical Energy: This is used in the form of a roller massage, which produces mechanical effects on the skin. It destroys the inelastic bands in the skin, which cause the dimpled appearance of cellulite. Coupled with this, the massage smoothes the skin surface, thus improving the overall appearance of the skin.
- Suction: The suction and vacuum effects also act by producing heat and mechanical effects which increases the elasticity of the skin.
Duration and Cost of Treatment
The VelaSmooth therapy lasts for about 4 to 6 weeks for effects to be seen. Each session lasts for about 45 minutes with two sessions per week. A total of about 8 to 10 treatment sessions may be required and is priced up to $1200 to $1400.
Advantages
VelaSmooth is a painless and non-invasive technology with minimum complications. It can be taken up by any individual with cellulite.
Disadvantages
A tingling sensation may be felt if it is used over broken the skin. After treatment, the skin becomes red for about half an hour. Bruising may also be seen in some individuals. This VelaSmooth therapy is expensive as it is the latest in cellulite removal therapy.
