A Review on Cellulite Treatments Part One

I have been trawling around this week to find out whether any of the current salon treatments for cellulite actually work. My findings so far have not been that encouraging. Today, the spotlight is on Velashape, also known as Velasmooth.


This treatment is carried out by a qualified practitioner in a salon registered for this procedure. It involves three techniques used together: Bi-Polar Radio Frequency, Infrared Light Energy, with Vacuum and Mechanical Massage. With this combination, the result should increase the body's water drainage and shrink fat cells. The process is a deep tissue massage with the above mentioned applications.


The first review I came across was from a lady who spent $1,000 on 8 forty minute sessions. She reported that the physician carried out the procedure with care and expertise, and she felt only a mild discomfort. After the course, she concluded that there was no significant reduction in the cellulite, and only a slight reduction in the circumference of her thighs. Another lady spent $700 on two treatments for her stomach. Sadly, she asked the practioner to stop midway on the second session as it was getting painful and bruises were starting to form. Yet another lady bluntly stated after 8 sessions that it made no difference and was a complete waste of money. Oh dear!


Now, don't get me wrong, I cannot possibly say that the treatment is a bad idea or ineffective. I haven't had the treatments myself, and a few reports does not prove that the system is worthless. For all I know, it could work for many people. The point here is that it does seem a bit of a risk to your bank balance to have a treatment that may or may not actually work. After all, you can't return anything and get your money back, can you?


So, if you want to try this cellulite treatment, you would be wise to do some homework to decide whether it is suitable for you. On the other hand, I might be old fashioned, but I remain convinced that diet, exercise and standard massage are the very best ways to eliminate cellulite and keep it off. It has definitely worked for me and the great thing is you can do it yourself with an easy routine for minimal cost. You can do it too, I have found a great ebook that explains the techniques far better than I can. Do check it out. http://bit.ly/9fsqKH
