Cellulite Reduction :: Frequently Asked Questions

How does the VelaSmooth improve the appearance of cellulite?

The VelaSmooth combines gentle light and radio frequency energies (Leos trademark) with mechanical rollers and vacuum suction to manipulate the superficial fat tissue layer that contributes to cellulite. The heat from the light and RF energies increases metabolism of this fatty layer and shrinks the size of fat cells. The mechanical rollers and vacuum suction act on the blood vessels to increase circulation to the local area, as well as massaging the skin to achieve a smoother, less dimpled surface appearance.

Is treatment with the VelaSmooth safe?

Treatment is very safe for all skin types I-VI and can even be done on tanned skin. There are no long-term health hazards from light or RF energies.

What kind of results can I expect from VelaSmooth treatment?

Gradual improvement of cellulite in treated areas, improved skin surface may be evident as early as after 4 treatment sessions. Most patients also achieve body contouring benefits and reduction in the circumferential measurement in treated areas.

How frequently do I need treatments?

The initial treatment series consists of 10 treatment sessions- twice a week for 5 weeks. Maintenance treatments are typically done once a month after the initial series in order to keep up the results achieved. Each treatment session is between 30-40 minutes long.

Does the treatment hurt?

VelaSmooth treatment is described as a warm, massaging sensation. The mechanical rollers and vacuum suction “pull up” the skin so there is gentle stretching of the skin surface as the applicator is passed over the area.

What happens after each treatment?

The treated area may appear flushed or pink from the heat for a short while, and may feel warm for several hours after treatment. You can resume normal activities immediately.

Who should get VelaSmooth treatment for cellulite?

Anyone who wants improvement of the appearance of cellulite in the thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen or upper arms. The effects of body contouring and reduction of girth for some patients may be enhanced by compliance to healthy lifestyle.
