The VelaSmooth is the first Class II medical device cleared by the FDA for the treatment of cellulite. The VelaSmooth combines vacuum suction, mechanical rollers, and heating through
infrared light and bipolar RF energy. Reduction in cellulite and contouring of lipodystrophies (unwanted lumps, bumps and bulges) are the treatment goals for VelaSmooth. Vacuum suction and massage
from the mechanical rollers draw circulation into the local area for increased oxygen availability, as well as manipulation of the tissue for drainage of trapped fluids through the lymphatic
system. Heat from the infrared light source and the bi-polar RF is deployed into the hypodermis to facilitate the use of energy from adipocytes in this layer. Use of these stored triglycerides
results in the shrinkage of the actual fat cell and reduces the total volume within the fat chamber. This is how cellulite appears reduced even after only a few treatment sessions. Focal aggressive
treatment to specific lipodystrophic areas such as love handles and saddlebags results in contouring of the area. There is often visible and measurable contouring of the lumps and bumps as
evidenced by post-treatment
