The VelaShape combines four unique mechanisms: gentle light, radiofrequency, vaccum suction and mechanical massage. While the infrared light and radiofrequency energies work to increase the metabolism of the cells within the fatty layer and reduce the size of fat cells, the mechanical rollers and vacuum increase blood vessel diameter allowing for increased circulation to the applied area, improved lymphatic drainage, reduced dimpling and increased smoothness.

Regular VelaShape treatments show spectacular results. Patients notice a gradual reduction in cellulite and an overall firmer and smoother appearance in treated areas such as the thighs, buttocks, hips, back, stomach and upper arms. Results are first noted between treatments 4-6 but many patients notice improvements as early as the first visit.

VelaShape treatments should be performed once a week for at least 8-12 weeks. Maintenance treatments may be scheduled on a once per month basis in order to maintain achieved results.

The main goal of each VelaShape session is to increase the tissue temperature of the treated area anywhere between 42°C-44°C. The length of each VelaShape treatment depends on the area being treated, on average ranging between 15-30 minutes.

Patients can resume all normal daily activity immediately after their VelaShape treatment. It is advisable to avoid hot tubs, swimming pools, saunas or sun tanning for 6 hours after treatment.

VelaShape is often described as a warm, deep tissue massage and is very comfortable for most patients. Adjustments can be made by the VelaShape technician to accommodate each patients level of comfort as some areas of the body are more sensitive than others.

VelaShape treatments are safe and effective for all individuals and there are no long-term risks associated with its use. Unlike laser and other machines, VelaShape treatments work with all individuals, regardless of skin tone. Excessive tanning from the sun, tanning beds and artificial tanning lotions should be avoided two weeks prior to treatment sessions.

VelaShape can help anyone looking to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, hips, back or upper arms. VelaShape also helps to contour uneven areas of fat deposition in the body and firm up areas of excess skin, fat or tissue.
