New Anti-Cellulite Treatment Provides Long-Lasting Results

Oprah Magazine reviews SmoothShapes

Refresh Laser Spa, specializing in non-invasive anti-aging aesthetic laser treatments, announced it will be the first in Denver to offer the SmoothShapes® system for cellulite treatment at its spa at 6300 East Hampden Avenue, Suite 3132, Denver.

“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 after evaluating 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.

“Patients of every age are concerned about this problem,” 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.”

SmoothShapes was developed by Elemé Medical, a leader in technology for all areas of body shaping.

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. SmoothShapes significantly improves the appearance of cellulite without the pain, bruising and post-treatment discomfort.”

The May issue of Oprah Magazine features a firsthand experience of the SmoothShapes treatment. Writer Valerie Monroe said, “…when I saw the before-and-after photos side by side, I gasped: It was remarkable. The skin looked much smoother and tighter.” Visit www.oprah.com/article/omagazine/200905-omag-cellulite/2 to view the entire article.


Body Shaping Market: The emerging body shaping market segment is expected to grow from approximately $4.5 billion (device sales, procedures and fees) in 2006 to approximately $8.1 billion in 2011. (Source: Michael Moretti, “Global Body Shaping Market Analysis,” March 2006)

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.
