| What is cellulite? |
Fat is stored in fat cells which lie between the skin and muscle underneath. The fat cells are grouped together into large collections, which are separated by fibrous strands. These fibrous strands run between the muscle and the skin.
As the fat cells expand with weight gain, the gap between muscle and skin expands but unfortunately the fibrous strands cannot stretch. This results in the dimpling characteristic of cellulite.

What is Velasmooth?
|
Velasmooth is a modern, non-invasive treatment that utilizes an approach targeting cellulite and leaving skin smoother and less dimpled. The treatment uses Elos™ technology that combines infrared light and radio frequencies along with mechanical massage and vacuum suction to manipulate fatty tissue.
This results in improved circulation to the area, metabolism of the area is increased and the end result is a smoother, more regular appearance.
