Elemé Medical Inc., a premier aesthetics company focused on body shaping, announced today that Refresh Laser Spa, owned by Kimberly Hall, will be the first treatment center in Denver to offer the SmoothShapes® system for longer-lasting cellulite treatment. The system will be unveiled at an open house at Refresh Laser Spa (6300 East Hampden Avenue, Suite 3132, Denver) on Thursday, March 26 at 6:00 p.m.

“We are excited to bring the very latest cellulite treatment technology to Denver,” says Kimberly Hall. “What makes us stand out is that we offer each client personal, individualized treatment, and our cutting-edge lasers provide the very best results with minimal to no downtime. After evaluating the advanced technology and the superior clinical results of SmoothShapes, we found it to be the most effective treatment for cellulite.”

Designed to improve the appearance of cellulite and perfected after seven years of development, SmoothShapes is a non-invasive cellulite treatment that produces longer-lasting improvement in cellulite.

“Previous medical offerings required the client to return monthly or quarterly at best for additional treatments. With SmoothShapes clients can go six months to a year without maintenance,” notes Hall.

The SmoothShapes device uses a proprietary technology called Photomology® which immediately delivers the appearance of tighter, smoother skin.

Thermal and non-destructive, Photomology’s unique mechanism of action combines dynamic laser and light energy with mechanical massage and vacuum. This process impacts the tissue responsible for the appearance of cellulite – enlarged fat cells and inflexible collagen. SmoothShapes stimulates restoration of healthy cell activity by focusing on both the physical manifestations of cellulite and its underlying causes.

Refresh Laser Spa is at the forefront of cosmetic medicine and laser treatment, as Hall recognizes the current demand for noninvasive body treatments, especially cellulite improvement.

“Patients of every age are concerned about this problem, but until recently we’ve seen technology that wasn’t specific for treating the enlarged fat cells and inflexible collagen that contribute to cellulite,” says Hall. “SmoothShapes actually liquefies the fat in cellulite areas and moves it out of the body via the lymphatic system resulting in smoother, tighter skin with improved appearance of cellulite.”

According to Nancy M. Briefs, President and CEO of Elemé Medical, “since more than 85 percent of women develop cellulite, treating it safely and effectively is one of the holy grails of aesthetic medicine. Now, unlike other systems designed to treat cellulite, SmoothShapes significantly improves the appearance of cellulite without the pain, bruising and post-treatment discomfort.”

About Cellulite: Dimpled, orange-peel-like skin that is bumpy and lax is actually the outward symptom of cellulite. Cellulite is a skin condition that results from enlarged fat cells trapped in an inflexible network of collagen located in the hypodermis. Women’s skin visibly displays cellulite because their subcutaneous fat layer is separated by thin vertical columns in contrast to a crisscross network in men. Cellulite can’t be controlled or improved by diet or exercise and more than 85 percent of women will develop it at some point in their life. Ultra slender supermodels, women devoted to a healthy lifestyle and diet, and even toned athletes are all susceptible to cellulite. Several factors contribute to the cause of cellulite, including genetics, hormones, vascular changes and inflammation.
