SmoothShapes®
SmoothShapes® laser cellulite reduction and removal treatments at Albany Laser Spa are the newest way for many area women to reduce the visible signs of cellulite. Cellulite is a term that is used to describe skin on the thighs, hips and buttocks that has taken on a bumpy, dimpled appearance, similar to an orange peel. While this condition is rare in men, it can be found in over 90 percent of women over the age of 20. The muscles within our bodies are covered with a padding of fatty connective tissue. Liquid covers the connective tissue and, when working properly, circulates and removes waste products from the area. When this system does not work properly, these areas experience waste build-up which causes the tissue to thicken and harden. This creates the bumpy, dimpled appearance that is associated with cellulite.
Cellulite affects many more individuals than we fully realize, therefore, continuing research has afforded us the ability to discover the exact causes of cellulite as well as many treatments that can reduce its appearance. Once cellulite forms, the only way to reduce its appearance is by loosening the hardened connective tissue in order to release the fat cells and other toxins that have built themselves up. Once these waste materials are removed, the connective tissue will have a chance to return to its normal elasticity. While many cellulite treatments have come before laser, laser cellulite treatments have revolutionized the reduction of cellulite within the body. The laser system capable of treating cellulite is known as SmoothShapes®.
Many cellulite reduction and removal treatments have been developed prior to laser but more often than not, their results were disappointing; it was only with the introduction of the laser, that cellulite reduction treatments truly became effective. The SmoothShapes® cellulite reduction system is the newest technology for the visible reduction of the appearance of cellulite. This treatment effectively reduces cellulite via the proprietary Photomology™ technology that works to restore normal balance to both inner and outer layers of skin. This new treatment works to reduce cellulite appearance through a unique mechanism of action that combines laser and light energy, contoured rollers and vacuum suction.
Photomology™ technology preserves fat cells while stimulating normal metabolic processes in order to enhance microcirculation. The laser light targets excess fat cells, effectively liquefying them for easier removal while simultaneously returning the fibrous septae and connective tissue to their normal size. The contoured rollers and vacuum suction work to aid the in the natural removal of liquefied fat for a smoother, firmer appearance. In essence, the Photomology™ technology enhances overall body contour and significantly reduces the outer appearance of cellulite. The procedure is painless and is highly effective when compared to more traditional cellulite treatments. A series of closely spaced treatments can work wonders for the visible reduction of cellulite on the body.
There are several factors that can lead to the formation of cellulite, hormones, vascular changes and inflammation, but these factors are not controllable, which is why so many Albany women suffer with the visible signs of cellulite. While treatments such as SmoothShapes® can help to maintain smooth, cellulite free skin, a healthy, balanced lifestyle that includes regular exercise and proper diet can go a long way in preventing the formation of cellulite within the body. On top of the uncontrollable factors, cellulite can also form as a result of insufficient water intake, stress and tension, incorrect breathing, an unbalanced diet, fatigue, little or no exercise and hormonal cycles. Those who maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly and live a healthy lifestyle can greatly reduce their chances of forming this bumpy, dimply skin. However, if these methods do not work for you, laser cellulite reduction via SmoothShapes® may be just what you’re looking for.
