Velasmooth Cellulite Removal

Until now, popular wisdom has had it that cellulite is basically untreatable. Neither liposuction nor lasers offered real help to women troubled by the disfiguring fat deposits.

All of that changed in late 2004. A new laser device came on the market that combined Radio Frequency energy, infrared light, tissue mobilization and suction to smooth the skin and remove the appearance of cellulite. Called VelaSmooth, it is genuinely effective. Contour Dermatology immediately tested, then acquired one of these new lasers. "The VelaSmooth offers breakthrough technology in treatment of cellulite. I am convinced this is an excellent tool to offer our patients with this condition," says Dr. Timothy Jochen.

The VelaSmooth laser increases oxygen intracellular diffusion by heating the adipose tissue to a depth of 5-15mm. Infrared light increases the elasticity of skin while safeguarding the skin from damage. A vacuum manipulates and smoothes out the skin to facilitate safe and efficient energy delivery. Tissue mobilization is facilitated by rotating, self-cleaning electrodes to ensure excellent coupling with the skin.
