Does Vela Shape Reduce cellulite? part 2

If an individual does not see any response after the first session, one would be considered a damn fool to go for a repeat session.

How does Vela shape work?

The vendors of this therapy claim that the radiofrequency breaks up fat cells. The additional massaging from the machine also causes release of fat that is then removed by the body. Over time, there is tissue shrinkage because fat disappears (the only thing that ever shrinks is size of your wallet). The body then develops a smooth, soft contour. This is a complete hogwash. Massaging a body does no such thing. In the medical field, such an explanation would be considered not only stupid but also false. There is no machine, computer, robot, laser, or heating device on earth that can reduce cellulite by heat, vacuum, suction or by massage.

Does Vela shape work for everyone with cellulite?

Sorry, vela shape hardly works for anyone. The vendors of this device claim that that not everyone benefits and the results are unpredictable. The results cannot even be reproduced. All this means is that when the treatment does not work, it is the consumer who is at fault- a great way business is done in the field of cosmetic. Blame the consumer.
How else can one do to reduce cellulite?

Well since vela shape does diddlysquat, one must start to walk, change lifestyle, and eat less. Moreover, if you do this regularly, you will not need to spend your money on crap treatments like Vela Bogus.
