Banish Cellulite this Summer with Non-Invasive VelaSmooth™ Cellulite Treatments

The Skin Center Medical Spa now offers VelaSmooth™, the non-invasive, FDA-approved cellulite reduction treatment.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) June 20, 2007 -- Summer is just a few weeks away, which means bathing suits, skin-baring fashions and for many women high anxiety. Cellulite, which affects over eighty percent of women, is hard to hide under this season's sexy summer clothes. The good news is you can eliminate cellulite before summer's end with a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment called VelaSmooth™.

Cellulite affects millions of adult women, no matter their weight, size or level of physical activity. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not caused by excessive weight gain or loss. It is actually caused by fat and toxins that accumulate near the surface of the skin. These substances become trapped in the dermal layer, which causes a dimpling or rippling appearance. Although there is no cure for cellulite, one of the newest technologies called the VelaSmooth™, has made it possible to significantly reduce and in many cases eliminate the appearance of cellulite.

VelaSmooth™ cellulite treatments are an FDA-approved, non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for the reduction cellulite. It combines the power of radio frequency energy and infrared light with the rolling and suctioning motion of traditional Endermologie®. The radio frequency energy and infrared light delivers penetrating heat to the deep layers of skin which helps to shrink the fat pockets, while the rolling and suctioning motion improves circulation and oxygenation of the cells--releasing trapped toxins. The overall result is smoother, more toned skin without the appearance of cellulite.

"For many of our clients, VelaSmooth™ cellulite treatments have proved to be the most effective treatment for cellulite," said Dominic A. Brandy, MD, founding medical director of The Skin Center Medical Spa with locations in Pennsylvania and Ohio. "It is the combination of the light energy and skin conditioning that produces the most dramatic results for reducing the appearance of cellulite. While there is no cure for cellulite, VelaSmooth™ cellulite treatments are far superior to any other technology we have seen for the treatment of cellulite."

When compared to Endermologie, VelaSmooth™ cellulite treatments produces more dramatic results by treating the deep layers of skin with radio frequency and infrared light energy. The deep heating of the skin helps to shrink the fat pockets that cause the dimpling of the skin while the rolling and suctioning motion improves circulation and helps to break up toxins, resulting in a smoother, more toned appearance.
