Tackle Cellulite With VelaShape

VelaShape® body contouring

Are you bothered by dimpled, uneven skin on your stomach or your legs? You’re not alone. An estimated 90% of women and 10% of men have cellulite — that uneven texture that’s often nicknamed cottage cheese or hail damage.

Cellulite is common, and it can affect anyone regardless of their weight or body composition. It doesn’t pose a health risk, so there’s no need to treat it if it doesn't bother you. But for many, cellulite makes them dread shorts and swimsuit season.

If the look of cellulite hinders your self-esteem, VelaShape® body contouring at SkinReMEDI could be the solution you’re hoping for. It’s FDA-approved to tackle stubborn cellulite and help you shed frustrating pockets of fat on your abdomen or thighs.

Understanding stubborn cellulite

Cellulite is the medical term for dimpled or lumpy skin that’s common on the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. Although men can have cellulite, it’s far more common among women.

That’s because women carry body fat differently, and they’re more likely to have fat around their abdomen and thighs. Some women also develop cellulite on their upper arms or breasts.

The cause of cellulite isn’t well-understood, but medical experts believe that it appears when fat deposits push up between the bands of tissue that hold your skin against the muscles below it. The bands of tissue connect skin to muscle, but fat can accumulate between these two layers. It pops up between the bands, giving your skin that characteristic uneven texture of cellulite.

It’s possible to be plagued by cellulite even if you live a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight may reduce cellulite, but it’s often impossible to completely eliminate it.

There are lots of cellulite treatments, creams, and lotions available today. These over-the-counter treatments promise to improve the appearance of skin, but they’re rarely effective because they don’t address the root cause of cellulite: weak connective tissue and loss of elasticity.

VelaShape targets cellulite at the source

If you’re bothered by cellulite on your stomach or thighs, body contouring with VelaShape could be a good option for you. Our aesthetic team specializes in this nonsurgical, noninvasive treatment that tones and tackles cellulite at its source.

Topical cellulite treatments don’t penetrate your skin’s surface, but the VelaShape system combines infrared light, radiofrequency energy, and vacuum suction to reach the layer of fat below the surface of your skin.

The device gently but effectively heats the fat cells in the treatment area. Heat damages the fat cells and stimulates new collagen and elastin production, to effectively improve the appearance of skin affected by cellulite.

Most people achieve optimal results with a series three of VelaShape sessions, on average. You’ll begin noticing results within a few weeks of your first treatment, and your body continues working to deliver smoother, more youthful-looking skin over the following months.

VelaShape isn’t a weight-loss procedure, but it could help you lose inches around your stomach or thighs. As long as you maintain a healthy weight following treatment, the results you achieve with VelaShape body contouring are long-lasting.

With no downtime and no surgery required, VelaShape could be the solution to your frustrating cellulite. Schedule a consultation with our team online or call SkinReMEDI in Atlanta or Alpharetta, Georgia, today.
