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.

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.

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.

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.”

Refresh Laser Spa Opens in Denver

Refresh Laser Spa, specializing in non-invasive anti-aging aesthetic laser treatments, announced the grand opening of its spa at 6300 East Hampden Avenue, Suite 3132, Denver.

“We are excited to bring the very latest laser technology to Denver,” remarked owner 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 result with minimal to no ‘downtime’.”

Refresh Laser Spa offers Elite laser hair removal, MediDerm Laser ReGenesis Therapy, teeth whitening, and many other laser aesthetic and skin care services. Most importantly, the spa features two revolutionary aesthetic services: SmoothShapes from Eleme and the Affirm CO2 fractional laser from Cynosure.

The spa is the first provider of the SmoothShapes system in Denver. Used by Dr. Patricia Wexler and other top dermatologists, the system was created for longer-lasting improvement in dimpled skin known as cellulite. More than 85 percent of women will develop cellulite at some point in their life, and it can’t be controlled or improved through diet or exercise.

“After evaluating the technology and the clinical results, we found that SmoothShapes is an effective treatment for cellulite,” said Hall. “Patients enjoy it because it frees them of cellulite without downtime, discomfort, or side effects.
The unique combination of laser and dynamic light therapy, in addition to contoured rollers and suction, give results that provide longer-lasting cellulite reduction, without the need for monthly maintenance.”

SmoothShapes, a new pain-free treatment, uses a combination of dynamic laser energy and mechanical manipulation to rejuvenate collagen and improve the appearance of cellulite.

“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,” explained 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.”

CO2 fractional micro-ablative laser resurfacing is the ground-breaking method for non-surgical facial rejuvenation and resurfacing. For micro-ablative laser resurfacing, Refresh utilizes the Cynosure Affirm CO2 laser; Cynosure is a leading developer and manufacturer of light-based aesthetic and medical treatment systems.

“Affirm Fractional CO2 can smooth deep wrinkles, coagulate tissue to tighten and firm skin, and make patients look and feel younger in as little as one session,” said Hall.

Delivering two treatments in one—skin resurfacing and collagen regeneration and rejuvenation—the laser can also treat significant sun damage, keratoses, poor skin texture, age spots, hyper-pigmentation, and a wide variety of other challenging skin conditions.
