How does velashape improve cellulite?

The search for cellulite treatments has been a key item for most women. However, there are various cellulite treatments available to cellulite patients across the world. There is one form of treatment that has been on the rising trend when it comes to treatment of cellulite. It is known as the VelaShape II. This treatment can help in improving the appearance of cellulite. It combines the use of gentle radio frequency energies with mechanical rollers as well as a vacuum suction to manipulate the layer of fat tissue beneath the skin, which is known to cause the cellulite. Heat from the frequency energies causes the rate of metabolism for the fat layer to rise. As a result, the fat layer decreases in size. Mechanical rollers and vacuum suction work on the blood vessels with an aim of increasing the blood circulation in the general affected area. They also massage the skin so that it appears to be less dimpled.
