Understanding Cellulite Reduction

Treating Cellulite at the Source

Cellulite affects over 90% of women, appearing as dimpled skin on the thighs, buttocks, and hips—not from excess weight, but from how fat is structured beneath the skin. Fibrous bands tether skin to muscle, creating pockets where fat bulges through, producing the characteristic “cottage cheese” appearance.

Profound® RF by Candela targets cellulite where it forms. Using precision microneedles, the device delivers controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the subcutaneous fat layer—the exact location of those fibrous bands. The heat breaks down rigid bands while simultaneously stimulating collagen and elastin production, tightening skin from within for smoother, firmer contours.

At Colorado Skin & Vein, Dr. Verebelyi brings over 20 years of advanced laser and energy-based treatment expertise to every Profound® procedure, ensuring precise technique, optimal temperature control, and natural-looking results.

Angel Croce, Staff Manager at Colorado Skin & Vein in Denver

Angel Croce

Staff Manager

Angel has been in healthcare for more than 20 years. Her journey began in 2004, after her father suddenly passed away from a stroke. Losing him was a life-changing experience, and it inspired her to choose a career where she could help others and give patients and their families the care, compassion, and support they need during difficult times.

Throughout her career she has worked across cardiology, neurology, family practice, and urgent care — each experience helping her grow both personally and professionally. She now works in vascular care and aesthetics, where she enjoys building relationships with her patients, helping them understand their care, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported throughout their journey.

Outside of work, Angel is a proud mom of two. Family is incredibly important to her, and in her spare time she loves being outdoors with her husband and their two dogs — hunting, fishing, and enjoying Colorado.

For Angel, healthcare is more than a career — it is personal. What started as a way to honor her father’s memory has become more than two decades of caring for others, and she is grateful to keep doing something that means so much to her every day.
