A New Ripple in the Treatment of Cellulite
"Whoever wins the war on fat - wins the war." This statement, from Dr Alster, Director of the Washington Institute of Dermatological Laser Surgery, referred specifically to cellulite. Statistics show that 80% of women to some degree, are affected by it which makes it all the more disappointing that there has never been a viable treatment for cellulite.
However, it is now very different.Now there is VelaSmooth.
Many companies offer lotions and devices that have claimed to have effectively treated cellulite but is important to note that VelaSmooth is the only system to have gone through an exercise of clinical studies with more than 500 people to verify the efficacy of the treatment. The results of this study lead the US Food and Drug Administration to give pre-marketing clearance to VelaSmooth making it, officially, a viable treatment for cellulite. VelaSmooth offers a non-surgical, no downtime allernative to patients wishing to treat cellulite. It can also be used in relieving minor muscle aches, pain and spasm and the temporary improvement of blood circulation.
The VelaSmooth system is a medical device that incorporates the revolutionary ELOS technology [combination of bi-polar radiofrequency and infrared light) with tissue mobilisation /suction to safely and effectively re-contour the skin's surface. The mechanical manipulation portion of the device mimics the older Enderemologie units, which had mechanical rolling heads, but the VelaSmooth device applies more suction to the tissue.
This device works because heat is delivered deep into the tissue, causing dermal collagen contraction and redistribuition of tissue water. Also, the technology disrupts the fibrous bands that surround the fat. There may be some mild lipolysis and shifting of water content along with dermal collagen contraction that adds to the overall effect of treatment.
It’s great that we can combine these different technologies into one non-invasive apparatus, to such great effect.
