What is Velasmooth Laser Treatment for Cellulite?

What is Velasmooth?

On the cutting edge in the rapidly expanding field of body sculpting is VelaSmooth from Syneron Medical Ltd., in Yokneam, Israel, a modern, non-invasive treatment that utilizes an innovative approach to reducing cellulite and leaving skin smoother and less dimpled. The treatment combines infrared light and radio frequencies along with mechanical massage and vacuum suction to manipulate fatty tissue, resulting in reduction of collagen and improved circulation to the area.

VelaSmooth is safe for any kind of skin and particularly effective on large areas of the body such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks or upper arms. The initial treatment consists of 16 sessions over eight weeks with each session lasting 45 minutes to an hour. Best of all, there’s no down time. Patients can resume normal activity after the treatment.

Maintenance treatments are usually done once a month after the initial series. Patients say the treatment feels like a warm deep tissue massage; others say it’s mildly uncomfortable. Treatments cost from around $150 to $200 apiece.

The recently developed Contour Applicator makes VelaSmooth treatments even more effective. Ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the user’s hand, the Contour Applicator facilitates spot treatments in hard-to-reach areas.

“With VelaSmooth and now the new Contour Applicator, Syneron technology continues to set the standard for the medical aesthetic industry to meet changing consumer needs,” said Doron Gerstel, president of Syneron North America. “We’ve succeeded at creating strong brand awareness among consumers for VelaSmooth treatments, which has generated a very successful business for our physicians. This Contour Applicator will allow these physicians to further enhance the VelaSmooth treatments.”

Since receiving FDA clearance in June 2005, more than 100,000 patients have been treated with VelaSmooth.

“Patients reported that their clothes had a better fit, and while they did not lose weight, they looked as if they did,” said Dr. Tina Alster, director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery and clinical professor of dermatology at Georgetown University.

"In our clinical study of 20 women of various ages and skin types with moderate thigh and buttock cellulite, significant clinical improvement was observed in skin contour irregularities, and thigh circumferences were also reduced,” Alster said. “Our research has shown that it is no longer necessary to endure painful and lengthy recovery times or be exposed to general anesthesia that is typical of other procedures like liposuction in order to achieve improvement of cellulite."

Many patients with saddlebags and love handles are actually able to measure a reduction in circumference or girth. A healthy lifestyle, which includes a good diet and regular exercise, can also enhance the results of the treatment. Many doctors have reported exceptional results when VelaSmooth is combined with mesotherapy.

“I think we have a machine that finally shows promise and results, whereas I’ve been disappointed with previous machines for cellulite,” Dr. Nowell Solish, medical director of cosmetic dermatology for Espada in Toronto, told Elevate magazine.

VelaSmooth is the latest development from Syneron, which has taken medical aesthetic science a major step forward with its unique ELOS (Electro-Optical Synergy) technology. ELOS maximizes the synergy of conducted RF energy, which is already popular in medicine, and optical energy.

In mid-2005, Syneron Medical Ltd. announced that the US Food & Drug Administration gave its initial approval to market the company’s cellulite reducing technology, called VelaSmooth also known as LipoLite. VelaSmooth is a pain-free, non-permanent and non-surgical alternative for individuals desiring to diminish the appearance of their cellulite

A laser-based technology which gently reduces the appearance of cellulite over the course of treatment, Velasmooth is gaining popularity.

In addition to smoothing the rippling effect cellulite might have, Velasmooth can also help clients appear to having lost weight. Specifically, Velasmooth incorporates radiofrequency (RF) energy, infrared light, suction, and massage to increase blood flow and push fat cells back into the fat layer, where they won't show through the skin. Purportedly, while the light energy pre-heats the treatment area, gentle suction helps radio frequency energy penetrate into the fat tissue - redistributing and increasing a person’s metabolic level.

VelaSmooth is asserted to not only redesign and eliminate the appearance of cellulite, but to also improve lymphatic circulation to promote better overall blood flow.

However, in order for it to be effective, Velasmooth requires minimum of 10 to 12 visits, for a duration of 5-6 weeks. Each session usually costs around $200, depending on the individual clinic.

Moreover, although currently fashionable, Velasmooth produces varying level of results. Nonetheless, women are paying a lot of money to have it improve the texture of their skin.

BIO STRETCH MARK CREAM™

To prevent pregnancy stretch marks, strengthen fragile skin, firm sagging breasts and body areas and reduce cellulite. It also works for newly formed stretch marks and scars, while BIOSKINEXFOL works best for old, rough and raised marks. This is similar to the cream in BIOSKINCARE, in a more economical container, with 6 oz. but for use only on the body, not on the face, because it contains a higher concentration of our natural biological complex which results in an invisible film that retains in moisture by occluding the area where it is applied but may feel a little tacky on the face.

6 oz (180g) tottle = $119.00

BIOSKINCLEAR ™
An oil free moisturizer gel for acne, rosacea and facial scars. Heals lesions to the cells lining the hair follicles which is the root cause of inflammatory acne. Removes dead cells, unclogs sebum canals and dissolves scar tissues by enzymatic hydrolysis, without peeling. Promotes the proliferation of antimicrobials that control acne bacteria. Boosts reproduction of glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that retain water, thus truly moisturizing the skin from within. Tells the body it is being taken care off and can moderate an otherwise extreme inflammatory reaction that may end up destroying healthy skin cells and creating crater like scarring and not only the acne bacteria.

Elos Evaluated in Journal of Cosmetic Laser Therapy

October 15th, 2007

Cellulite is a highly frustrating problem, mainly because it is hard to treat. One study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Laser Therapy in March examined a device, marketed as Velasmooth, which is a combination of radiofrequency energy, infrared light and mechanical manipulation of the skin.

Doctors Sadick and Magro showed some positive results in the study. Their method involved the treatment of sixteen subjects with cellulite twice a week for six weeks. One thigh was used as a control, while the other underwent treatment.

According to the study:

The overall thigh circumference decreased in 71.87% of the treated legs. The mean decrease was 0.44 cm of the lower thigh and 0.53 cm of the upper thigh. There was significant visual improvement in cellulite and skin texture. At the final follow-up visit, 50% of subjects had greater than 25% improvement (good be very good)

New Study Demonstrates Efficacy of RF, Infrared, and Mechanical Manipulation

September 6th, 2007

A new study published in June by Drs. Alster and Tanzi of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, DC, has demonstrated the efficacy of a novel combination approach to treating cellulite. Their method involved the combination of radiofrequency, infrared light, and mechanical tissue manipulation to improve cellulite.

According to the published work, the method involved “Twenty adult women (ages 25-57 years) of various skin phototypes (I-V), and with moderate bilateral thigh and buttock cellulite, received eight biweekly treatments to a randomly selected side (the contralateral side serving as a non-treated control). A combined bipolar radiofrequency, infrared light, and mechanical suction-based massage device was applied at 20 watts RF, 20 watts IR (700-1500 nm) light, and 200 millibar vacuum (750 mmHg negative pressure). Patients were evaluated using standardized digital photography and circumferential leg measurements at baseline, prior to each treatment session, and at one, three, and six months after the final treatment. Clinical improvement scores of comparable photographs using a quartile grading scale (0 = or < 25%, 1 = 25%-50%, 2 = 51%-75%, 3 = or >75% improvement) were made independently by two masked medical assessors after the series of treatments. Final post-treatment body weight and patients’ subjective evaluations were recorded.”

The results of the study indicated that 90% of the patients noticed improvement and 17 out of 18 saying they would pursue treatment on the contralateral thigh. The study said the conclusions were: “Cellulite can be significantly and safely reduced with the use of a noninvasive device that combines bipolar RF, infrared light, and mechanical massage. The effects of treatment appear to be prolonged, but maintenance treatments may be necessary to further enhance the clinical results achieved.”
