FALLS CHURCH, VA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 6, 2008 -- Cathy Hill, after 30 years experience as a scientist and senior executive at the U.S Geological Survey, is now the owner-operator of Vitalia MedSpa in Falls Church, Virginia. Vitalia is a state-of-the-art medical spa facility staffed with skilled medical professionals offering an array of skin-care and other anti-aging treatments. The evolution from science manager to MedSpa owner was a natural one for Cathy, who researched various business options before settling on a MedSpa.

"I've always tried to take good care of my skin, and the MedSpa concept was very appealing to me," says Cathy. "We're now in the business of helping people look their best, realizing that when you look good, you feel good and tend to have an increased sense of energy and vitality. That's what we're all about!"

Vitalia offers the latest technology for cellulite reduction and body contouring. This equipment, called the VelaShape(TM), is the first and only FDA-cleared, non-surgical alternative for cellulite and circumference reduction. The secret behind VelaShape is elos(TM) -- a unique technique that combines infrared and radio waves together with vacuum and mechanical massage to reduce the volume and appearance of fat tissues by penetrating to deeper tissues beneath the skin. VelaShape(TM) offers a non-surgical, no downtime and virtually painless treatment for the Body Reshaping and Cellulite Treatment market, with proven results in as few as 4 weekly treatment sessions, with one maintenance session recommended every 3-6 months. Vitalia also offers today's most advanced and effective skin rejuvenation procedures like Laser Hair Removal, Botox, IPL Photo rejuvenation and an array of medical peels and facials.

"I was attracted to the MedSpa idea because of the dramatic advances in laser technology. You no longer have to go 'under the knife' to maintain and enhance your skin's appearance and vitality," continues Cathy. "I don't feel my age and don't want to look it yet, but am not willing to undergo any surgical procedures."

Vitalia MedSpa has been successfully using the VelaShape(TM) technology since its market inception in 2007, and its precursor the VelaSmooth since the opening of the MedSpa. Vitalia clients have been consistently thrilled with the reduction in the appearance of cellulite as well as the body contouring, and the ease and comfort of the treatments.

Vitalia MedSpa is located at 7506 Leesburg Pike in Falls Church, next to the Trader Joe's in the Tysons Station Shopping Center.
