Both cellulite and spider veins are frustrating conditions that, thanks to minimally invasive treatments, can now be safely managed. VelaSmooth™ cellulite treatment is newly approved by the FDA, while spider vein removal using sclerotherapy has been successfully used in Europe for 50 years. At our Los Angeles laser center in Pasadena, we offer both treatments.
VelaSmooth™ is an FDA-approved cellulite treatment method we offer at our Los Angeles practice in Pasadena. Cellulite, which affects about 80 percent of women over 20, is caused by concentrated fat cells which give skin a rippled appearance. VelaSmooth™ cellulite treatment works by dispersing and removing fat cells.
The VelaSmooth™ device uses light and radio frequency to heat up troublesome fat cells and break them apart. Light and radio frequency are delivered uniformly to the places they are needed, as the VelaSmooth™ uses suction to gently smooth the skin.
It’s recommended that for optimal results patients undergo 45-minute VelaSmooth™ cellulite treatment sessions at our Pasadena laser center twice a week for at least two months. It’s typical for patients to see an improvement after three weeks. VelaSmooth™ leaves skin smoother and more elastic, and the radio frequency of the VelaSmooth™ device has the added benefit of causing a mild contraction of the area, visually lifting and firming the area.
While VelaSmooth™ treatments can cause temporary bruising and the mild discomfort that is expected when undergoing an effective medical procedure, this cellulite treatment does not cause any down time. Patients compare VelaSmooth™ treatments with the sensation of a deep tissue massage accompanied by a warm feeling on the skin.
Dr. Stout is proud to offer non-surgical VelaSmooth™ cellulite treatment to those in the Los Angeles area seeking an effective solution to the irritating problem of cellulite.

Spider veins, which appear as unsightly clusters of red, blue, or purple veins on the ankles, thighs, or calves, can now be treated using the spider vein removal method known as sclerotherapy. In Los Angeles, at our comfortable clinic in Pasadena, we offer this simple and effective treatment to those troubled by spider veins.
In addition to minimizing the appearance of spider veins, sclerotherapy also relieves the other symptoms associated with spider veins such as burning, swelling, aching, and night cramps.
During a session of sclerotherapy spider vein removal at our Los Angeles laser center, the troublesome veins will be injected with a mild sclerosing solution, which causes the vein to collapse and fade. No anesthesia is required.
There are various types of sclerosing solutions available, and it is best to choose a trained, experienced doctor such as our cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Warren Stout, who can choose the best solution for you.
A month after your first session of sclerotherapy spider vein removal, you may return to our Los Angeles clinic for follow-up injections at the same site, to enhance the effects of the sclerotherapy.
This method of spider vein removal has been successfully used in Europe for half a century, though it does have its risks. It’s possible for sclerotherapy to cause blood clots, inflammation, and skin injury that can leave a mark. Sclerotherapy can also give the area a brownish pigmentation, which takes up to a year to completely disappear.
Sclerotherapy is effective for spider vein removal, though it cannot prevent future spider veins from appearing. To learn more about spider vein removal through sclerotherapy in the Los Angeles area, contact Dr. Stout today.
