What Are Velasmooth Treatments And Are They Effective?
Posted by Ellen Jones | Under Beauty Treatments Wednesday Mar 25, 2009Have you ever heard of Velasmooth treatments for cellulite? If you have a cellulite problem, as many people do, you might want to consider them.
Velasmooth treatments for cellulite removal were created by a company called Syneron Medical Ltd, which is based in Israel. In 2005, the Velasmooth treatments were officially FDA approved. That makes them one of the newest treatments for cellulite out there, so you might not be familiar with them.
How Does Velasmooth Compare to Lasers and Lipo?
The difference between Liposuction and Velasmooth treatments for cellulite is like the difference between night and day. Lipo is a surgical technique, so it involves a lot of time for recovery, as well as pain. Velasmooth, on the other hand, is a massage technique. It loosens up fat cells, using a combination of sound harmonics and infrared light.
As far as comparing Velasmooth treatments to laser treatments, there are major differences there, too. Conventional laser treatments often come along with safety concerns. Velasmooth uses something called elos technology, which is much safer. Elos uses a combination of light and sound to safely circulate the blood better and make the skin’s appearance much better.
Does Velasmooth Require Multiple Treatments?
Velasmooth treatments are, unfortunately, not a one-time treatment option. They aren’t a quick fix, but there really aren’t any quick fixes. The reality is that during the first couple of months, you might need forty-five minute treatments twice a week. After that you can switch to a maintenance plan of getting a treatment every month or so. Of course, individual cases vary a bit so that’s just a rough estimation.
A certified, skilled technician can perform Velasmooth treatments with minimal discomfort to you. You should know, though, that even though they are similar to deep heat massages, they aren’t always totally comfortable no matter how good your technician is. So, get the best technician that you can but don’t expect them to perform miracles.
It’s also important to know that Velasmooth treatments are not without a price. They can definitely help you to achieve the desired results, but they can also burn a hole in your wallet. One treatment can cost as much as two hundred dollars or so and, as mentioned above, you’ll need ongoing treatments. So be prepared for the expense involved.
You might not have large amounts of money to spend on Velasmooth, even if you want to. So, if you want a less costly option, try a home cellulite massager. They are much less expensive and you can use them whenever and wherever you want to. So, they are a very convenient way to treat cellulite.
