Cellulite is a skin condition that affects more than 85% of women. It does not result from poor diet or lack of exercise. Cellulite is primarily caused by: hormones, vascular changes, and inflammation.
Cellulite can be improved with a series of painless treatments that will help smooth, firm and tighten the skin. The treatment, called Smooth Shapes, improves the function of unhealthy fat cells, improves circulation and stimulates collagen regeneration. Smooth shapes makes the fat cells healthier from the inside out.
Smooth Shapes is a class 4 laser that is safe and comfortable. The procedure is FDA-approved and provides long lasting results. Results of the treatments will be gradual and will continue to improve for 3-6 months after the treatment course is completed.
