Learn about SmoothEffects™
Admit it: It only take three words to get you (an otherwise intelligent woman with impeccable taste) to pick up a tabloid… Stars With Cellulite (“all new photos” doesn’t hurt either!).
Why are we so fascinated with Nicolette’s thighs and Posh’s posterior? Because 90% of women have the these diet- and exercise-resistant bumps and dimples. And it’s nice to know that even Uma sees the same thing when she steps out of the shower.
Because cellulite is a result of how women are anatomically created, and is influenced by hormones, genetics (how does your mom look in shorts?) and the aging process that causes skin to thin and allow the bumps to be more visible, it is a chronic condition that is not curable, even through diet and exercise.
So what’s a girl to do? Introducing SmoothEffects™, a safe, non-invasive controlled heat therapy that smoothes, tightens and reduces cellulite for a firmer appearance. SmoothEffects™ is fast and easy, and requires no downtime from normal activities.
The result is smoother, firmer thighs and buttocks with further tightening and contouring improvements that appear gradually over a two to six month time period, as new collagen develops and toxins are removed. SmoothEffects™ is available to treat the most common areas of cellulite development: thighs (front, back & sides) and buttocks.
Oh, and P.S.—there’s a good reason why you never see male celebs (even Jack Black) in capture cottage-cheese moments: men aren’t anatomically built to develop cellulite (there they go, getting lucky again).
Here’s how it plays out: Underneath the epidermis and dermis exists three fat layers. Cellulite develops in the most superficial of these layers, known as the subcutaneous fat layer. This layer is structurally unique from the others because its fat lobes are organized into chambers by surrounding strands of fibrous connective tissue.
In a woman’s body, these fibrous bands are vertical, which allows for an abundant storage of fat plus causes the skin to be pulled inward toward the body’s interior. The fat that surrounds these fibers pushes up through the bands, which results in the puckering and bulging we identify as cellulite.
Men are rarely affected by cellulite because their connective tissue develops in a different, diagonal pattern, which not only stores smaller quantities of fat but blocks the fat from protruding.
How it works:
SmoothEffects™ works by heating deep collagen fibers in the skin and underlying fatty tissue using radio frequency (RF) energy. This targeted energy helps reorganize the cellular environment and stimulates cells to release toxins, drain retained fluids and produce new collagen.
SmoothEffects™’ dual-layer approach allows it to treat tissue at two different depths using both unipolar and bipolar hand pieces that provide dual-layer targeting. The dual treatment contracts connective tissue and drains fluid from fat tissues deep inside your skin, promoting the absorption and smoothing of cellulite. It facilitates and enhances the breakup of adipose (fatty) tissue, helping to mobilize and eliminate fat deposits (so that less fat exists to protrude through the fibrous connective tissue).
During treatment, a handheld device is applied to the treated area, delivering the RF energy deep within and beneath the skin. This deep uniform heating action causes the collagen within the dermis layer of the skin and underlying tissue to immediately tighten. Over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced to further tighten and thicken the skin, minimizing the appearance of dimpling.
What to expect:
- No downtime
- May experience mild, temporary redness or minor swelling that disappears within 24 hours
- Multiple treatments necessary for best results
