I know most of us can relate to the nagging presence of that bumpy, cottage cheese like fat on our butt and thighs because according to an article (http://tinyurl.com/dbcan8) I just read. Cellulite affects nearly 85-98% of women and even some men. And the reason why it caught my eye to begin with was of course because of the title “The Cure for Cellulite” Seriously? I mean, could it really be? That there was a cure for enlarged tightly compacted fat cells trapped in an inflexible network of fibrous septae located just beneath the skin. Or was it just too good to be true? Before reading the article I was nothing other than skeptical. After reading it I was a bit intrigued about the concept and was also pretty interested in the results that the articles author experienced. So it spurred me to dig a little deeper and see what other info I could scrounge up on this new miraculous non-invasive, exercise free cure for lumpy bumpy thighs.
First of all I guess I should give you a quick and dirty overview of what this “Miracle Cure” is. The procedure called “Smooth Shapes” uses a technology called “Photomology”.
Six years of scientific development went into this innovative way to treat cellulite as claimed on the Eleme Medical’s Smoothshapes website. A technician treats your affected areas with a device that kind of looks like a mini R2D2 hand held vacuum type machine hooked to a hose, twice a week for 4 weeks at a tune of $2100. Apparently it feels like a warm deep tissue massage as the machine rolls over and sucks up your skin as it emits a laser beam that is designed to melt the fat so it can then be absorbed by the lymphatic system.
It sure does sound too good to be true. I’m sure lying on a table 8 times in a month’s sounds way more appealing than sweating your butt off for minimally triple that amount of time. After digging around a bit on the internet in my quest to uncover additional info on the “Smoothscapes” method the only results that popped up was the research on the sponsoring companies’ website along with practitioners who provide the service. And you know what other tid-bit was revealed on one of the Doc’s web page? “According to Dr. Wexler the results should last a minimum of 6 months and costs around $2000 or more per area treated” Ok, so let me ask you a question, why would you go for a non-permanent fix like that when you can accomplish a healthier more permanent solution with just plain old fashion good nutrition, exercise and lifestyle modification practices?
So please correct me if I’m wrong, but my take on this is what I originally thought “It sure does sound too good to be true” As always in life, effort must be put forth to achieve lasting positive results. What do you think? I’m curious of your opinion?
I might believe in Tooth Fairy as well, and she is cheaper
She is much cheaper isn’t she?
