Eleme Medical, an aesthetics company focused on body shaping, said Ellen Frankel of Dermatology Physicians and Rejuvaderm Medical Spa is the first physician in Rhode Island to offer the SmoothShapes laser to fight the battle of cellulite.

Eleme Medical said SmoothShapes treats cellulite in a non-invasive method by using a proprietary technology called Photomology which is a unique mechanism of action that combines dynamic laser and light energy with mechanical manipulation (massage and vacuum).

SmoothShapes stimulates restoration of healthy cell activity by focusing on the physical manifestations of cellulite and its underlying causes, the company said.

Frankel said after evaluating the technology and the clinical results, SmoothShapes is more advanced than other cellulite technologies. SmoothShapes has impressive scientific validation of its efficacy and I’m offering the treatments to patients because it creates smoother and tighter skin without downtime, discomfort or side effects.

"Additionally, the laser powered technology provides long lasting cellulite reduction, without the need for monthly maintenance," Frankel said.
