SmoothShapes®
Cellulite is a Skin Condition
Cellulite appears when fat cells just under the skin swell or enlarge and the once flexible collagen bands become brittle and no longer stretch properly. That is what causes the dimpled skin known as cellulite.
Cellulite Reduction: How it Works?
SmoothShapes® is a scientific approach to cellulite treatments that patients can trust for results. The SmoothShapes® XV System effectively treats cellulite through proprietary technology called Photomology. Photomology restores enlarged cells through a unique mechanism of action that combines light and laser energy with mechanical manipulation (vacuum and massage) to specifically target problem cellulite. Treatment results: tighter, smoother looking skin.
What to Expect
SmoothShapes® is a safe, no downtime procedure providing improvement in the appearance of cellulite lasting six months. Patients have younger looking skin, with less of the “jiggle”. Skin feels smoother and clothes fit better. A SmoothShapes® treatment plan typically consists of eight sessions, twice a week for four weeks.
SmoothShapes® Treatment
- The lightweight, handheld roller glides over the treated area, creating a gentle massage-like sensation.
- A vacuum component positions the skin more effectively for optimal light and laser penetration.
- The contoured rollers assist in moving the evacuated fat and fluids from the interstitial space into the lymphatic system.
- A combination of light and laser energy penetrates into the tissue causing a thermal effect and increasing cell permeability.
- Fat molecules migrate from the adipose cells to the interstitial fluid.
Stop Blaming Yourself
- Cellulite is a skin condition that affects more than 85% of women.
- Cellulite does not result from poor diet or lack of exercise.
- Increased body fat does not account for the appearance of cellulite.
- Cellulite can be apparent on very lean females and is rarely seen on males.
- The development of cellulite is primarily caused by: hormones, vascular changes and inflammation.
- Cellulite can be improved with a series of SmoothShapes® treatments.
