New FDA Approved VelaSmooth Cellulite Reduction: The Nonsurgical Liposuction Alternative

FDA approved cellulite treatment offers cellulite reduction and body contouring. Velasmooth is the first Class II Medical Device to receive FDA clearance for the reduction of the appearance of cellulite.

Manhattan, New York November 17, 2005 -- Velasmooth is the newest device in cellulite reduction treatment. Manufactured by Syneron Corporation, the Velasmooth is the first Class II Medical Device to receive FDA clearance for the reduction of the appearance of cellulite.

During the clinical trials a significant added benefit of the Velasmooth treatments was discovered. Along with an average of a 65% reduction of cellulite, almost all patients noted a significant improvement in body contour and reduction of size of the treated areas.

According to Douglas M. Senderoff, MD, FACS a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Manhattan, New York, who has recently introduced Velasmooth treatments to his patients, “Velasmooth is an exceptional device. I can finally offer my patients a treatment for cellulite that really works.” In addition, Dr Senderoff states, “I have found Velasmooth to be an excellent alternative to liposuction in selected patients. It provides patients a nonsurgical treatment option for body contouring that has proven to be effective.”

The mechanism of action has three components: bi-polar radiofrequency, infrared light, plus tissue mobilization combined with suction. These elements produce heating of the tissues with liberation of fat and mobilization of extra fluid in the skin. This action enhances the deposition of new collagen to provide a smooth surface of the skin and a recontouring of problem areas. The result is a reduction of size of the treated areas along with a smoother appearance. Each session requires approximately 45 minutes. While there is no pain involved with the procedure most patients describe the feeling as similar to a deep tissue massage along with a warm feeling of the skin.

Complications from VelaSmooth Cellulite Reduction Treatment are rare and usually involve slight bruising or minor temporary skin irritation. Unlike endermologie, mesotherapy, or even liposuction, there is no recovery time associated with the procedure.

The recommended treatment protocol is 2 sessions per week for 8 weeks followed by several monthly maintenance treatments. Most patients report a drastic improvement in body contour after 3 weeks and a significant reduction in the appearance of cellulite after one month of treatment.
