Velasmooth
Does the Velasmooth Promise Deliver?
As women everywhere (about 93% of them) struggle to eliminate unsightly cellulite, affectionately referred to as “cottage cheese”, it’s easy to be attracted to the full page spreads from classy spas for the quick removal of cellulite with procedures such as Velasmooth.
Can Cellulite Vanish With This Machine?
After all, everyone wants to look and feel their best. That’s completely normal. But when it comes to plunking down a large amount of cash for a procedure it’s smart to get a little information on what type of results can be expected.
What is Velasmooth?
Velasmooth is the precursor to Velashape. It’s a hand held device that has the ability to administer a deep tissue massage using dual rollers and a vacuum.

I am very depressed over the procedure as I look exactly the same after as I did before. It did nothing for me….I feel like I was fooled by the promise of loosing my cellulite and now all I have lost is money.”
“I received 22 sessions of Velasmooth treatment for a period of 5 months. There were no changes in the reduction of my cellulite in my buttock and thigh area. These treatments are costing me and they refuse to refund my money.”
It’s tempting to believe that improved circulation, draining of lymphs, and muscle massages will correct the condition of cellulite. The stronger a person’s desire to fix what is perceived as a beauty problem, the more gullible they are to buy into a quick and easy solution with both their hopes and their
