Edmond A. Zingaro, MD answers: Does VelaShape work?

Almost everyone on this site who has had VelaShape or VelaSmooth says it wasn't worth it because it didn't work to reduce cellulite.  But hundreds and maybe even thousands of doctors offer VelaShape or VelaSmooth and continue to sell it to patients for cellulite treatment.  Why are doctors selling this treatment if people aren't seeing results...and more importantly, why are people still buying it?!  So, does it work or not?  Help me out...I'm so confused.

The gold standard and still the best treatment that works for cellulite is Endermologie.  Nothing is yet permanent but Endermologie has a long, positive track record.  Treatments are not painful and maintenance only requires 2 or 3 treatments a year.  Be sure the Endermologie Therapist has appropriate training and has been doing treatments for awhile.  It is not easy to properly administer treatments so ask for references.
