VelaSmooth is a fairly new non-surgical cellulite treatment that utilizes a combination of technologies including tissue manipulation, ELOS (electrical-optical synergy), infrared energy, and bi-polar frequency to remove cellulite. Most unique to VelaSmooth is the ELOS technology as it uses the vacuum an dual action rollers often associated with endermologie, but incorporates bi-polar radio frequency to and infrared energy to manipulate and smooth the skin. VelaSmooth claims these elements help a patient's body to increase metabolism, diminish the size of fat chambers, and get rid of cellulite more rapidly than other methods.
The treatment times for VelaSmooth may vary from patient to patient depending on the severity of cellulite and total surface area to be treated. The average treatment last anywhere from 45 to 60 minutes and is typically spread across several weeks with an average of two treatments weekly.
Based on feedback from real users, the effectiveness of VelaSmooth is somewhat questionable although is generally safe for most skin types and has no side effects. While some patients report success with this treatment, a number of patients report results that are less than desirable. For some patients, VelaSmooth feels like a warm deep tissue massage while to others it may feel pinched and uncomfortable. Other common complaints include severe pain and post-treatment bruising.
Perhaps the most common complaint among a number of patients is the short-term nature of the results. Some VelaSmooth users claim results went away as soon as the treatments stopped while, for others, they disappeared within a matter of days.
VelaSmooth is a hugely popular and safe non-surgical method for removing cellulite. Some praise it and recommend it while others warn consumers to avoid it like the plague. In either case, one would be wise to try cellulite cream before spending their money on this costly, time-consuming treatment. Read our reviews of top cellulite creams.
