Velasmooth vs Velashape
If you are looking for an effective anti cellulite treatment, then you have probably come across two vary similar sounding commercial machines â Velasmooth and Velashape. A common question is what is the difference between these two machines?
Both are manufactured by Syneron which is an Israel beauty device company that is listed on the America stock exchange.
Velasmooth cellulite treatment is one of their most popular devices and can effectively reduce the appearance of cellulite through the combination of mechanical massage, infrared light and radio frequency. Velashape was released two years after Velasmooth and while it uses the same modalities to get rid of cellulite, it is a more powerful machine. Velasmooth can achieve better results in less time and less sessions. Not only that, the device can also be used to reduce thigh and hip circumference.
With both machines, the radio frequency ruptures the fat cells, the massage helps to push the ruptured cells from the lymphatic system and laser light increases the collagen production in the skin. By targeting the cellulite with three different modalities, the appearance of the target area is quickly and effectively improved.
A single session on one of these machines costs about $90 to $150. In general, you will need 6 to 8 weeks on the Velasmooth and 4 to 6 weeks on the Velashape in order to see the optimal results. Most women will need to have 1 to 2 sessions per week. This obviously makes Velasmooth and Velashape reasonably expensive treatments compared to other treatments like cream, massage and exercise. However, their effectiveness means that many women opt to have the treatment done.
There are minimal side effects with both machines and you can return straight to work or play once the treatment is completed. However, there maybe some slight bruising or reddening of the skin that could last a day or two.
