New Laser Technology Temporarily Gets Rid of Cellulite

If you could painlessly lose fat and cellulite by coughing up several hundred dollars would you do it? A new laser treatment called Accent is being used by Cosmedicare in Toronto, Canada. The treatment is reportedly completely non-invasive; it simply involves running a laser beam over the skin. According to the company the fat just disappears.

 

The technology works by using radio frequencies to heat up the skin and smooth it out, eliminating cellulite. Baby oil is applied to the area and the laser beam is applied to the skin. Cosmedicare says the procedure feels like a warming massage. Expect to see a little redness afterwards, but there is reportedly no downtime. The procedure certainly isn’t cheap. You will have to spend $800 to get rid of the cellulite on your thighs and $400 for a dimple-free behind.

 

The technology is very similar to VelaSmooth, a laser procedure approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2005. Treatments cost up to $2,000, but only last about six months. There is no indication how long the results of Accent last. If you are one of the majority of women who suffers from cellulite and have the extra money to fork out on a cosmetic procedure this may be the way to go. It certainly beats going under the knife.
