What is the best way to get rid of cellulite

Friday, September 4th, 2009

There is no permanent solution to remove cellulite forever. However, there are many ways to noticeably improve cellulite by up to 60%. There are different technologies including VelaShape, Velasmooth, Accent XL and each has a different way it operates. They are all backed by radio frequency technology, unipolar or bipolar, the VelaShape has additional technology including infra red light and vaccumming to enhance your results. Your initial treatment program will most likely include 4-6 sessions every 2 weeks apart. After this is completed, you will need a maintenance treatment approximately every 3 months.

Laser-Assisted Lipolysis / Laser LipoSculpture

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

Somebody emailed me asking about Laser-Assisted Lipolysis.  It is minimally invasive technique designed to destroy fat cells and coagulate tissue on the body and the face, cost effectively. It is ideal for areas that are difficult to treat with traditional liposuction, such as under the chin and upper.
LipoSculpture features a tiny tube, called a “cannula,” which is inserted through a tiny incision into your skin. A precise, powerful laser beam is directed via an optical fiber through a cannula, and liquefies deposits of fat cells within the treatment area. Liquefied fat is then removed from your body using the same small incision.

The procedure is minimally-invasive, and considerably less traumatic to the body than traditional liposuction, so only local anesthesia (around the area treated) is required for treatments.

Local anesthesia helps make the procedure comfortable. After treatment, and when the anesthesia begins to wear off, patients may experience minimal bruising, plus minor aches and pains that naturally dissipate over time. The patient typically returns to work one to two days after treatment.
