“Velasmooth Does Not Work”

This works... I have no cellulite anymore...but one thing to keep in mind...you will not lose inches unless you exercise...you will be as chubby as ever...but I promise you that you will NOT have dimpling...your skin will be smooth...

My cellulite is going away since I started using a device with galvanic current and it is supposed to help stop cellulite from forming again. I haven't been using it that long so I don't know if the second part is true yet. So far it has done what it promised though. Its called the Galvanic Spa II and for some reason no one on Realself has tried it. It is brand new though. It not a procedure. Its a gadget that you have to use everyday for 10min. a day. I like that because just like exercise you have to work it off only it doesn't hurt or exhaust me like exercise. Its almost like ironing out your skin problems. You might want to think about trying it.

I have used Velamooth and it does work-however you must be commited to it for the full 16 visits. i saw resutls starting around the 8th visit and it got better quickly after that. By the time I was done I had a 90% reduction in cellultie (of which I had ALOT) The biggest problem with this treatmen-othe thant ime conusing is the maintainence. They say once a month or 2 months after your completeion to maintain but it is REALLy like 2 times a month once a month minimum. I let mine go so now all my cellultie is back and as bad as it was a year ago to the day from when i stared Velamooth, But last summer my legs looked great and i owrse shorts confortably. i will do it again this year starting next month.

I have had two treatments with Velashape from ALC, and I see no difference. I was told I would immediately-but that didnt happen. It is very painful around the area of my c section (over 8 yrs old) and I have bruising. I am going for my third session today and I am hoping for the best. And I was told that unless I go crazy eating, the results (which I have yet to see) will last for 2 years.

I had my first treatment with Velashape a week ago and I immediately lost 1 1/2 inches on my waist! I'm so excited to get the next three treatments! I was told that the difference between velasmooth and velashape is that velashape is more powerful and has a 4 treatment protocol wherein velasmooth- the older model- has a 12 treatment protocol. My technician asked me how many of the suction reps I could handle and then moved on - and repeated the area later so that it didn't hurt. The other thing that they told me about was a body kit by cosmedix. It's a l-retin-a treatment. Has anyone tried that?

We are considering adding Velashape (the newer one that should take 1-4 treatments) to our laser facility and would love to get some feedback from those who have had the treatments before we invest in one. Would you recommend it or is there another machine we would be investing in?

I have had 6 treatments and I am undecided on whether it was worth it or not. I did not have any circumference reduction at all due to the treatment. I was expecting more dramatic results. I want to see how much I will be spending to "maintain."

I had velasmooth last year with ALC only got to 10 treatments and was seeing some difference. I have not been back and I had purchased a maintenance package of 20 sessions. I called to come back and they said they had a new updated machine. I am not sure if it is the Amerismooth or the Velashape. She said they only sell packages for 4 treatments, so I am thinking it is the Velashape. I am hoping they will apply my balance to the new machine because they do a very high pressure selling and I have a lot of money invested, and I do not want to pay anymore. I do have a question for anyone is the Amerismooth they offer the same machine as the Velasmooth just a different name? Because I may have some recourse in getting a refund if they do not offer exactly what I had paid for. Any feedback would be great....Thanks.

I completed 6 treatments of Velashape about 3 weeks ago. It did absolutely nothing. I could not tell the difference between the before and after pictures. I wasn't expecting a miracle, but I thought I would see some reduction in cellulite and circumference. The areas I had treated were my thighs and Butt. I diet and go to the gym 5 days per week....so I was supposedly a good candidate. It was a complete waste of $1300. Save your money for lipo because Velashape does NOT work and it is quite painful!!!!

nh laser centre there is another machine on the market the has technology for cellulite reduction. Here is my email and i will forward you some info. {edited email address} Editor note: You must join RealSelf in order to be contacted privately. This requires free registration for an account.

I've had two VelaShape treatments (out of four). I have not noticed any change so far, but remain hopeful. I'm hoping to get some insight on the treatment itself. Some posts have described the procedure as painful. I don't feel any pain at all during the procedure (I can feel the fat being sucked in and massaged). I'm wondering if there are different settings/levels of the VelaShape machine or if the technician should be pressing down harder, etc. Any insight would be appreciated.

I have had about 6 treatments with the velasmooth and I did notice a diffrence on my thighs. I broke my leg during the treatments last year and had to stop getting them. This year I am considering the velashape because there are fewer treatments required. But I haven't heard a lot of good results from it. If anyone knows a good provider of the service in KY let me know. Also, I had several meotherapy treatment on my abdomen and thigh area. Save your money it does not work. I saw a slight reduction that did not last and recieved lots and lots of brusing from the treatments that were painful. Has anyone had any good results from the smartlipo procedure?

I had my 2nd velasmooth, not even the more improved version velashape, treatment 2day.I saw results after the first treatment.Cellulite is actually a collection of fat that pushes against the connective tissue underneath a person's skin. The uneven appearnce on the outter suface of the skin, termed dimpling,varies from person to person. I have always been big but tightly packed & I weigh approximately 200 lbs.Though I don't have any visible dimpling, I do have densely packed pockets of fat that, according to medical terms could be considered cellulite. I have it on my inner thighs back,upper arms & belly. I had a fat roll right above my ass that actually was makeing it uncomfortabel to lay flat on my back (felt like a folded up pillow back there),so I always slept on my belly. That's almost gone. Perhaps the results are better when you have the denser fat than the looser fat. Or, perhaps the person whom works out regularly, & eats healthy, such as myself achieves results quicker than one that does not. I feel o.k. with the decission that I made to spend this money because so far It seems to be doing what I want it to do, & that's helping to define & contour my body.I know I'm never gonna be a size 6 because that's not the way god made me to be but I want to look my best at any weight. I think that is the best one can hope for with these types of proceedures. Nothing short of cutting it off will yield perfect results,& I have no intention of going there. If you feel the same way I feel I think vela may be worth trying...

Hi Ray-Ray - Please share your experience by writing a VelaSmooth review. Our members love to read reviews by real people when researching their options and alternatives.

I am only 19, but I weigh 155lbs. and I have very large thighs. I always have. Some muscle, but a lot of fat too. I feel extremely uncomfortable in shorts and very uncomfortable in a bathing suit. I have been trying to make a decision if I should spend my hard earned money on this procedure. I REALLY want to be able to wear shorts this summer on my vacation and feel comfortable around my friends at the beach. I DO work out, or at least make a great effort to work out every day for at least an hour of cardio. And I think if I do this, and it actually works, I will be that much motivated to keep it off by staying on my current exercising program. I for the most part eat pretty good, but I do cheat sometimes too. What do you guys think? I'm suppose to get my first VelaShape treatment on Friday. I do have cellulite believe it or not, it's there. I don't know if it's bad for me being young or if it doesnt matter really? Please let me know your thoughts. And if Anyone has been to the center in Ada, MI.
