How does the patient tolerate VelaSmooth treatments?
The treatment can feel like a warm deep tissue massage for some patients, while it may be uncomfortable and “pinchy” for others. The discomfort is usually related to low tolerance to aggressive skin manupulation and stretching from the rollers and the vacuum suction. In these cases the vacuum suction is reduced to a tolerated level, and progressively increased according to individual patient tolerance. There is some pinkness to the skin and the areas feel warm for a short while after a completed treatment session. Normal activities are resumed the next day. Some patients may experience bruising in the treated areas, especially if they are prone to bruising easily.
