The appearance of cellulite can be frustrating, especially when it stubbornly lingers in spite of diligent diet and exercise. VelaSmooth, a relatively new procedure, can help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Who Can Use VelaSmooth?
VelaSmooth is performed using an FDA cleared device that uses mechanical massage as well as heat, light and radio waves to break up and disperse cellulite under the surface of the skin. The procedure is safe for most adults, and is particularly useful for women attempting to regain their weight, shape and figure after pregnancy. It is appropriate for both men and women, or anyone wishing to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
The best candidates for VelaSmooth treatments are in good health, not excessively overweight, and are used to consuming an appropriate amount of water daily.
Who Should Not Use VelaSmooth?
While VelaSmooth is a safe, effective procedure, it is not recommended for certain individuals including:
- People who are light sensitive
- Diabetics
- Pregnant women
- Individuals with blood clot disorders
In addition, if a candidate's body mass index, or BMI, is over thirty percent, VelaSmooth is not recommended. As with any cosmetic procedure, candidates should consult with an experienced doctor. Discussing goals with a chosen doctor can help ensure expectations for the procedure are realistic, and can help long-term satisfaction and success with health and fitness goals.
