The belief that cellulite is a sign of obesity is a myth: In reality, more than 80% of women over the age of 20, regardless of their weight or size, are affected by cellulite. Velashape & Velasmooth are the first non-invasive, cellulite reduction system that is FDA approved. It is performed using a medical device that utilizes elōs technology. It is safe and has been proven effective in reducing the appearance of cellulite and re-contouring the body.

elōs is the first and only technology that simultaneously harnesses the power of bi-polar radio frequency (RF) and optical energy. This technlolgy was developed by the Intense Pulse Light inventor, Dr. Shimon Eckhouse and physicist, Dr. Michael Kreindel. Radio frequency is a highly controllable energy heat source that works synergistically with optical energy. It enables the use of light energy at a level that is safe for all skin types.
Velasmooth Procedure
During VelaSmooth treatments, infrared light is used to heat the target area and increase the elasticity of the skin. Then, conducted Radio Frequency penetrates to heat the fat cells below the surface of the skin. This heat also promotes better circulation to the local area, allowing more oxygen exchange for increased fat cell metabolism.
The final step involves smoothing the surface of the skin by combining a vacuum action with a deep tissue massage. The combined heat energy of the Velasmooth system goes deep to mobilize fat, and also stimulates the formation of new collagen. The result is smoother skin. It is this combination of actions, penetrating right to the level of individual fat cells that makes VelaSmooth technology so unique and effective.
Additional Information
Patients should be prepared to commit to the full regimen of two treatments a weeks for 8 weeks, as well as maintenance. Dieting and exercise will definitely help to maintain one’s results over the long term.
Although Velashape & Velasmooth are not a weight loss tools, many patients look and feel as though they have lost weight because their bodies are better proportioned than before.
