SmoothShapes

About the Procedure

Most women, 80-90%, will develop cellulite during their lifetime with some experiencing the skin dimpling condition as early as puberty. Diet and exercise can help to diminish its appearance but will not erase it entirely. While diet and exercise can help to reduce bulging fat deposits that accentuate cellulite dimples, the condition of the skin and underlying fibrous connective tissues that pull down at the skin remain unaddressed. SmoothShapes targets fat and improves skin condition by disrupting fat cells while also encouraging collagen production to firm and plump the skin. The SmoothShapes system combines all of the noninvasive methods used to treat cellulite into one hand piece. SmoothShapes utilizes laser and LED energy to break down fat cells while simultaneously stimulating collagen production for continued firming of the skin. At the same time, the SmoothShapes hand piece is rolling and vacuuming the skin to encourage lymphatic drainage and improved circulation. Before treatment, both patient and practitioner will put on protective eyewear which should be worn throughout the entire session. Sessions last 10 minutes per treatment area. When the SmoothShapes hand piece is applied to the skin, patients will experience a massage-like rolling and suctioning. Once the treatment is completed, patients are able to resume normal daily activity. A series of 8 treatments over the course of 4 weeks is needed. Results can be seen as soon as 1 month after however final results are seen after 6 months. Upkeep treatments are needed 1-2 times yearly.
