Understanding Cellulite Reduction Therapy

American Laser Centers' patented cellulite reduction therapy, VelaShape™, is a safe, comfortable and effective method of reducing or eliminating the unsightly effects of cellulite buildup. Unlike topical creams or ointments, VelaShape™ actually works; and unlike surgeries, VelaShape™ is non-invasive and painless with none of the risks that are associated with any surgery.

Cellulite deposits are a natural function of aging skin, but what's not often understood is that while the unsightly "cottage cheese" effect appears to involve the surface of your skin, it's actually the result of processes taking place in much deeper skin layers. That's why an effective cellulite reduction therapy, such as VelaShape™, must do more than just interact with the surface layers of your skin. Cellulite is a naturally tough pocess, and no amount of creams or lotions will break it down without doing significant damage to your skin in the process. Dermatologic surgeries to break down cellulite deposits are usually effective, but they are often extremely expensive, uncomfortable and, while safe overall, do carry risks associated with surgery such as the potential for infection.

VelaShape™ avoids the ineffectiveness of topical treatments and the discomfort and dangers of surgery by using infrared and radio-frequency energy to safely penetrate your skin's dermal layers with energies targeted at the cellulite deposits, then applying the specially designed rollers that smooth out the skins surface and reduce or eliminate their effects on your skin shape and tone. There's no recovery time and no unpleasant visual side effects on your skin.
