How does VelaSmooth™ work? The painless treatment combines radiofrequency waves, a laser, and a mechanical suctioning massage to break up the fat and mobilize the water from tissues to safely and effectively re-contour the skin’s surface, specifically where problem areas of cellulite occur. What areas can be treated with VelaSmooth™? VelaSmooth™ works on all skin types. The most commonly treated areas are the stomach, abdomen, love handles, upper arms, hips, thighs and buttocks. How many VelaSmooth™ treatments are necessary? For optimal results, most patients receive eight to ten treatments that last about 30 minutes. Is there any downtime after a VelaSmooth™ treatment? There is no downtime with the procedure. Patients can resume normal activity immediately following treatment. Does VelaSmooth™ eliminate fat? VelaSmooth™ only reduces cellulite. However, VelaSmooth™ treatments can also be used in conjunction with mesotherapy for fat reduction. Independently, each treatment works well in achieving the desired results; but in combination, the results are outstanding

The National Enquirer also recently reported that as one of the only effective procedures to control cellulite, Velasmooth is sweeping the nation in popularity. The FDA approved Vela smooth in June 2005 for the temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. Although Vela Smooth is not a weight loss procedure, many patients appear as if they have lost weight due to the smoothing of the skin and the reduction of cellulite. Likewise, there is usually a noticable reduction in thigh circumference and skin texture. Velasmooth is a non surgical procedure requiring from 10 to 12 visits over 5 or 6 weeks to be effective. The cost of Velasmooth varies by provider. Vela Smooth is different from Endermologie in that it uses RF Energy to break down and shrink fat cells.
