About VelaSmooth™

VelaSmooth™ is powered by ELOS™ (electro-optical synergy) combined energy technology and is the first and only aesthetic technology to use two energy sources - radio frequency and light. The VelaSmooth™ joins the power of ELOS™ with tissue mobilisation, making it different from any other cellulite treatment or non-invasive body contouring procedure available. The synergy of these three components, radio frequency, light and tissue mobilisation makes the VelaSmooth™ the superior cellulite and body contouring solution.

While there are many heat and massage systems available claiming to treat cellulite, the VelaSmooth™ is the first clinically proven medical device to treat cellulite and non-invasively contour the body. There is no other device on the market that reaches the depth of penetration subdermally effective, controlled metabolism of the adipose tissue.

Conducted radio frequency increases intracellular oxygen diffusion by heating the adipose tissue to a depth of 5-15mm. Infrared light increases the elasticity of the skin and heats the subcutaneous fat while safeguarding the tissue from damage. The tissue mobilisation manipulates and smoothes the skin to facilitate safe and efficient energy delivery. This is facilitated by rotating self-cleaning electrodes to ensure excellent coupling with the skin and effective delivery of the energy.
