Cellulite plagues many body-conscious women. Studies claim that 80% percent of all women, no matter their size or age, carry cellulite, the dimpled skin found mainly on buttocks and thighs. VelaSmooth is an advance in technology directed toward fighting the appearance of cellulite. Here we look at what sorts of treatments can be combined to make the cellulite reduction of VelaSmooth more effective.
What Is VelaSmooth?
VelaSmooth is a specific process designed to fight the appearance of cellulite. It is non-surgical and non-invasive, and is one of a few cellulite treatments to have FDA approval. It involves an advanced type of massager that employs something called "elos technology." The eclectic massager is applied directly to the trouble area for a 45 minutes session of heat, suction and massage. Using a combination of bi-polar radio frequency and optical energy, vacuums and rollers, the VelaSmooth treatment claims to increases oxygen to cells, which in turn leads to the shrinking of fatty deposits. As a result, the skin looks smoother. The process must be repeated weekly to keep the results. However, other treatments can be used in between VelaSmooth sessions to help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Liposuction
Liposuction is one way, albeit an expensive one, to remove cellulite. Some people recommend VelaSmooth as a way to keep cellulite from returning after the liposuction surgery. Liposuction removes cellulite by scraping under the surface of the skin to disconnect the stringy tissue the cellulite is caught in. This process can cause bruising, scarring, and even permanent dimpling of the skin if done incorrectly. This is especially true of older patients. It can be a very successful but intimidating solution.
Massage
VelaSmooth is one type of massage, an effective but very expensive one. A good supplemental plan to your Velasmooth sessions is regular deep tissue massage. In this situation, a masseuse tries to do a bit of what the Velasmooth massager does. She will try to massage your cellulite areas deeply enough to shake loose the fat from the strings of muscles that hold it. This can also help keep cellulite at bay, but the process can be brutal. You often have to be manipulated hard enough to cause bruising to affect the fat deposits.
Cellulite Creams
No cellulite cream exists that can actually remove cellulite. Instead, creams simply try to make it less noticeable. Most cellulite creams have caffeine as an active ingredient. Caffeine is a diuretic, and it flushes fluid away from the area where it's applied, including skin. The skin is dried, tightened and firmed, reducing the effect of cellulite. Creams are an extremely temporary solution. They are best used as a quick solution between VelaSmooth treatments, as a make-do solution to a sudden invitation to the beach.
Always remember that cellulite is a natural occurrence. It has been spotted on the bodies of the most fit female athletes and beautiful actresses in the world. It is not necessarily an indication of obesity. No treatment removes it completely or permanently, and no cellulite treatment will cause you to lose weight. However, if you still want to fight the good fight against cellulite, talk to you doctor to see if VelaSmooth and accompanying treatments are right for you.
