When it comes to getting rid of cellulite, there's nothing women won't try. With over 80% of women suffering from cellulite, it's no wonder that finding a cure has become an obsession with plastic surgery providers the world over. Here's a look at some of the newest innovations in the fight against cellulite.
VelaSmooth is amongst the leaders in cellulite fighting technology. VelaSmooth uses unique ELOS (Electro-Optical Synergy) technology, which maximizes the synergy of conducted RF energy, that is frequently used in medicine and optical energy. Approved for cellulite use by the FDA, VelaSmooth has helped women fit into their clothes by softening cellulite, although no weight loss actually occurs.
More recently, the makers of VelaSmooth have introduced the VelaShape. "VelaShape™ is the only FDA cleared device that effectively and safely contours, shapes and slims the body by reducing cellulite and firming problem areas in as little as 4 treatments." VelaShape is often touted as a celebrity favorite, and Kim Kardashian and her sisters were shown using the VelaShape on an early episode of their family's reality show. VelaShape has also been featured on both the Rachel Ray show as well as Dr. Phil. Amongst "real life users," VelaShape has also found fans. Americanhealthandbeauty.com, a popular consumer resource for latest news on aesthetic procedures posted VelaShape as the #1 procedure for cellulite in 2009.
Mesotherapy is a controversial procedure used for the treatment of cellulite. Introduced in the United States in the late 1990s, mesotherapy uses tiny "microinjections of conventional or homeopathic medicines, vitamins, minerals and amino acids." The ingredients vary according to the condition treated. The procedure is controversial due to various side effects occurring, although the most common tend to be bruising. Some patients have also been found to be allergic to the formulas used in the microinjection formula.
Ultrashape is not yet FDA approved, but approval is pending for the non-invasive cellulite reduction procedure. Ultrashape promises to be safe and effective for the reduction of cellulite, with visible results in as little as two weeks. The UltraShape procedure takes 45 to 60 minutes and can treat multiple areas like the abdomen, flanks and thighs. The secret to UltraShape is ultrasound technology, which is said to break down fat and cellulite deposits without harming or damaging surrounding tissue. UltraShape is promising to help not only reduce and eliminate cellulite, but also provide a viable option to invasive and potentially dangerous procedures like liposuction.
