Cellulite is still one of those unfortunate physical
detractions that so many people - mostly women - want to
deal with and get rid of, and yet can find no solid, proven
way to eliminate the appearance permanently. Hence, there
are floods of women looking for that magic bullet that just
doesn't exist, that will rid them of their cellulite
forever.
In fact, there are treatments that can currently
dramatically reduce the appearance of the unsightly orange
peel look, and that do work on many or most of the women
who try them, however, there is not one that does not
require follow up treatment for the rest of one's natural
life in order for the results to be maintained.
There are always new treatments that are supposed to be the
latest, best thing out there, and there are two newer
procedures and treatments that we are going to talk about
today for cellulite reduction, called Velasmooth and the
Triactive laser.
The first one, which goes by the patent name of Velasmooth,
works through a similar process of an already widely used
cellulite reduction process called endermologie. Like
endermologie, Velasmooth uses the power of a vacuuming
suction action as well as rollers to help "pound out" the
lumps and bumps via force and break up the connective
tissue that causes the puckered appearance of your fatty
areas.
But that's not the only way this one purports to help
smooth out the problem areas. It's biggest draw is that it
uses IPL, or pulsed light therapy, which is supposed to
help manipulate the fat cells and the connective tissue,
forcing an increase in circulation, and the fatty tissues
that cause the cellulite to move and be manipulated by the
rollers and vacuums, creating a more uniform, toned and
lifted look.
The device itself for Velasmooth looks almost like a hand
held vacuum, except that it also emits a light from the
surface. With this option, the recommendation from the
manufacturers is that you get roughly eight to sixteen
treatment sessions to start off with as an initial way to
break up the tissues and smooth the problem areas.
The treatments themselves last around 45 minutes to one
hour, and it is recommended that the spacing be one to two
per week until optimum results are achieved, with follow up
treatments done about once or twice a month afterwards to
maintain the results. And, now the most important part,
the cost.
Of course, as with any other professionally administered
and monitored aesthetic treatment, you are going to see a
higher cost than for any home treatment. The cost of
treatments ranges from $150 to $300 per treatment,
depending on the area you live in. In other words, this
treatment will cost you more if you are going to Beverly
Hills to get them done, but may cost less if you live in a
suburban Midwestern area like I currently do.
The Triactive laser is a similar device to the Velasmooth,
except that it uses actual laser technology to help shrink
the fat cells and help increase circulation and manipulate
the fatty deposits into other areas to smooth the whole
area out and create a more uniform look.
The Triactive laser also uses rollers and vacuum
manipulation to shape the body and contour areas such as
the buttocks, hips, thighs and tummy that commonly have a
lot of cellulite on them.
Apparently, this procedure has been used for years
successfully in Italy before it was brought to the US, and
women typically see results in anywhere from ten to fifteen
sessions, with the cost about equal to the cost of
Velasmooth but perhaps a bit less, depending again on the
area you live in and the individual prices of who renders
your service.
