“Cellulite reduction on both legs was a success”

Smoothshapes: Worth it

Cost: $1,600
Pain: Painfree
Smoothshapes satisfaction: Very good4 Star Rating: Very good
I recommend my Smoothshapes provider: Name not provided
Why: Skilled knowledgeable technicians, easy to make appointments.

While not a complete cure for cellulite, SmoothShapes drastically reduced the amount of cellulite of the backs of my thighs. I'd say I've had over 50% reduction in cellulite in the treated areas and expect it to continue to improve over the coming weeks. Results are said to last for 6 months to over a year but you should come in every 6 months or so for 1 maintenance treatment.

I'm a 5'5', 120 lb. female that is extremely active but still struggled with mild-moderate cellulite. The treatment lasts for 10 minutes per area (so 20 minutes total for both legs) and is completely pain-free - feels like a gentle massage. I kept telling them initially they could "push harder," thinking that the treatment was like Endermologie that uses rollers to treat the cellulite - until the technician told me the gentle rolling just directed the lasered fat to move through the lymphatic system and pushing harder only increases the chance of bruising.

Its only been a few weeks since my last treatment but I notice on a weekly basis continued improvements. The technicians told me that it will continue to improve for 1-3 months and that is when I'll really see the full benefits.

I'd say, since its not a total cure, this treatment is still very pricey - that is the one downside, the price. But, it is the only  treatment that is almost permanent and gives predictable, repeatable results. If you're looking for cellulite help - go for this or wait a little while for the FDA to approve cryotherapy for cellulite reduction.
