How VelaSmooth Is Performed

VelaSmooth is the first non-surgical and non-invasive cellular reduction system approved by the FDA. It is a safe and effective treatment to reduce cellulite in targeted areas of the body, designed to make skin smoother and change the contours of the body. Its innovative technology involves a combination of infrared light energies and Bi-polar radio frequency (RF) with negative pressure and tissue manipulation. This can result in a pain-free cellulite smoothing treatment without the use of needles, and with no recovery time after the session.

Cellulite is produced when the fat cells in the deepest layer of the skin becomes inflated because of increased fat storage. These are formed within the skins layers, and not on top of it, so topical creams are not effective in cellulite treatment.

elos Technology

VelaSmooth uses elos or electrical-optical synergy, the first and only technology that harnesses both the power of bi-polar radiofrequency and optical energy. Dr. Shimon Eckhouse, an Intense Pulse Light inventor, and master physicist Dr. Michael Kreindel developed this revolutionary system, which overcomes the limitations of conventional lasers and intense pulse light applications.

Radio Frequency is a controllable source of heat that works in synergy with optical or infrared energy, maximizing the use of light energy at a safe level on the skin. The skin is preheated by optical energy, then targeted by RF for a precise and effective cellulite reduction treatment. The elos Technology has no additional risk to the epidermis, and is proven and tested safe on all skin types.

VelaSmooth Procedure

VelaSmooth tightens and firms up loose skin by increasing collagen and decreasing cellulite. It actively works at a cellulite level to contribute to a smoother and slimmer appearance for targeted areas of the body. The treatment procedure uses a combination of deep massages, rollers, suctions, infrared and radio energies to address a patient’s cellulite problems. The patient is treated through the application of the VelaSmooth hand piece over the area or areas being treated. Each treatment approximately lasts 30 minutes, but can vary depending on the size of the area being treated.

Specially designed rollers and vacuums manipulate the skin to smooth out the target areas and help facilitate efficient delivery of energy. The radio frequency and optical energy heats the skin, which increases oxygen to the cells. This can improve the metabolism of stored energy and shrink the size of the fat chamber, reducing the effects of cellulite on the skin.

Treatment Areas

Areas where cellulites are formed all over the body can be treated with VelaSmooth in just a couple of minutes. In the abdominal area, the lower abdominal folds can have fatty build-up or love handles that can be addressed with a couple VelaSmooth treatment sessions. The neck folds can also shrink with this kind of treatment, stimulating the tissue on the fat deposits on this area. The tissue on the arms and legs can be tightened, reducing the circumference of the patient's limbs through VelaSmooth. This treatment can also be applied to the buttocks and bra line, and other areas where there is a build-up of cellulite.

VelaSmooth is a temporary treatment to cellulite problems. While it improves the appearance and contours of the body, there should be an overall diet and fitness plan to maximize the effect of this procedure and minimize the recurrence of cellulite.
