Cellulite and stubborn fatty deposits may be a cause of embarrassment for many, but you don't have to undergo surgery to enhance your figure. Most experts agree that cellulite is hereditary, and getting rid of cellulite isn't that easy. Diet and exercise alone may not be enough to reduce the appearance of unsightly cellulite.

SmoothShapes is one of the latest skin rejuvenation and body contouring procedures available, an innovative cellulite removal treatment that provides a deep tissue massage to release stored body fat and smooth out the skin. It's a non-invasive procedure used to smooth, tighten and tone the skin and improve the contours of the body.

SmoothShapes uses Photomology technology combining 915 continuous wave diode laser and 650 LED energy along with mechanical manipulation (vacuum and massage to safely and effectively re-contour the skin's surface. The synergy of these three components makes SmoothShapes the superior medical cellulite solution.

SmoothShapes addresses underlying causes and physical manifestations of cellulite by treating enlarged fat cells and brittle or inflexible fibre septae, providing results taht patients can see and feel.

The combined heat energy that is delivered to the skin goes that much deeper so fat is mobilized and allows for deposition of new collagen, and therefore, a smoother skin surface is affected. SmoothShapes, in addition to reducing thigh circumference and improving the skin surface irregularities, actually helps to re-contour the areas and gives an improved appearance to the cellulite in general. Patients don't lose weight-but look like they have lost weight because the whole area has been re-contoured.

The entire treatment is painless, and patients report that it feels like a warm, soothing and deep massage session. Most treatments last between 30 - 60 minutes, but visible results can be achieved after a series of eight treatments spaced over a four week period.
