SmoothShapes Cellulite Treatment in Birmingham, AL

For cellulite treatment, we offer SmoothShapes by Eleme Medical, a device that uses a combination of massage, suction and laser energy to reduce the appearance of cellulite.  It can be used in several body areas and requires no downtime.

When to Consider SmoothShapes

If you are bothered by cellulite on your butt, thighs, hips, waist, abdomen or back, you may be a good candidate for cellulite reduction with SmoothShapes. SmoothShapes is also frequently used to provide thigh slimming effects and create the appearance of smoother, tighter skin.

How Does SmoothShapes Cellulite Treatment Work?

The procedure is a safe, pain free treatment that utilizes a combination of laser and light energy to liquefy fat in the enlarged cells that cause cellulite, allowing the body to remove fat cells from the body. Collagen is then remodeled while circulation is improved to smooth and tighten treated skin. SmoothShapes is a comfortable procedure that provides long lasting results and gives you an improved skin tone and texture.

Seeing the Results: What happens after Cellulite Treatment?

After your treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink and feel a little warm, which resolves from 15 minutes to a couple of hours after treatment. You can resume normal activity immediately after your treatment with no restrictions.

There are also no side effects with SmoothShapes. Your skin will feel warm and appear pink for a few minutes to a few hours after treatment, and you may feel more relaxed like you would after a deep tissue massage.

To realize the best results with SmoothShapes, your surgeon may recommend a series of treatments, often consisting of eight SmoothShapes procedures performed twice a week for four weeks. The results will start to become apparent after about three to four treatments, and they will continue to get better over the next several months.

How long is a cellulite treatment?

Procedure times vary depending on how many "zones" are treated. Pricing also varies accordingly.

• 20 minute session - 1 zone
• 40 minute session - 2 zones
• 60 minute session - 3 zones
