VelaShape is the latest innovation in the world of non-invasive cosmetic procedures. This body contouring treatment utilizes radiofrequency energy, laser energy, and other technologies to sculpt the body. The result is a trimmer and slimmer figure.

What is VelaShape?

VelaShape is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses bipolar radiofrequency energy and infrared light to heat the fat cells and the surrounding dermal collagen fibers and tissues. It also utilizes a vacuum and massage rollers to tighten the skin by stimulating the regeneration of new collagen. VelaShape can be used to remove excess fat from various areas.

This can be described as a product of four technologies that shrink fat cells rather than completely eliminating them. These technologies are:

• Infrared light
• Radiofrequency
• Mechanical massage
• Vacuum suction

This body shaping procedure is gaining popularity because it is non-invasive and is less involved than plastic surgery. Most VelaShape beneficiaries describe the therapy as feeling like a warm, deep tissue massage with a mechanical massage from the rollers, providing incredible relaxation to the patients.

The Procedure

VelaShape is performed in the comfort of our office. While you may experience significant improvement after just a couple of sessions per year, it is generally recommended that you come in for a series of sessions to get the best results. Many patients find the deep heating sensation quite enjoyable. There are no incisions, needles, or anesthesia involved, and the results are generally noticeable in weeks to months. The combination of vacuum suction and massage also improves blood circulation while stimulating collagen production.

Who is the Right Candidate?

VelaShape, like most cosmetic procedures, is not for everyone. It is not designed for weight loss. Instead, it contours the body to eliminate stubborn fat around the waistline and other areas, giving you a thinner and potentially more youthful appearance.

Generally, you should meet the following criteria to qualify for this cosmetic procedure:

• Exhibit signs of cellulite
• Have stubborn fat
• Have loose skin that could use some tightening

Unlike invasive tucks and lifts, you won’t have to worry about a lengthy or uncomfortable recovery following your VelaShape™ appointments. This treatment might be just what you need to finally create the thin and toned silhouette of your dreams.

The Truth About Cellulite

One of the reasons why so many people struggle with cellulite is because there are dozens of myths surrounding this particular type of blemish. Some believe that it is caused by extra pockets of fat while others think that cellulite is the result of thin or loose skin. Doctors now know that cellulite occurs when fat cells push through the connective tissue that is just underneath the skin. Adults who stay at a healthy weight have a lower risk of developing cellulite, but even those who are extremely thin might struggle with bumps and dimples at some point. In order to treat cellulite, you must eradicate the fatty tissue and improve the elasticity of the nearby skin.

VelaShape™ Technology

This FDA-cleared treatment can be used on many different areas of the body. Over a series of treatment sessions, our team can weaken fat cells so that your body can expel them naturally. These treatments also strengthen and thicken your skin by stimulating the production of key proteins such as collagen and elastin. VelaShape™ has become extremely popular over the last few years because it addresses the root causes of cellulite instead of masking the side effects.

During your initial consultation with one of our team members, we can give you more information on how long this procedure lasts and what you can expect at your appointments. This treatment is extremely effective when used on individuals who qualify for the procedure.

There are a lot of different reasons why people accumulate fat and cellulite. These reasons range from hormones to hereditary factors to age. Each of these factors not only affects the accumulation of fat, but it also affects where the fat accumulates.

VelaShape® is a system that has been clinically proven to provide non-surgical body contouring to parts of your body that are resistant to weight loss, even though you diet and exercise. Some of these areas that are problematic include the thighs, buttocks and love handles. As people see the benefits of the VelaShape® system, the popularity of the system has increased exponentially.

The VelaShape® system involves the use of infrared light, massage rollers, suction and bipolar radiofrequency to contour your body into something that you can be proud of. This is a safe procedure that was approved by the FDA to temporarily remove cellulite.

The device delivers a high amount of energy and intense heat treatment to help contour the body and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Many people will use this procedure in conjunction with other measures for optimal results. The goal is to provide maximum results while allowing the patient to remain comfortable during the procedure.

During the procedure, the technician is going to apply the VelaShape® hand piece directly to the area of the skin that is going to be treated. Mechanical rollers then massage and smooth out the skin. Infrared frequencies are directed into the skin. Radio frequencies increase the temperature of the underlying tissue, and this causes the fat cells to melt and break up.

Next, the body’s natural waste removal process kicks in, and the dead cells and the expunged fat are flushed out of the body. Many patients comment that they have lost both weight and inches after the procedure. This is not a one-time procedure. It takes a series of sessions to get results.

VelaShape® is getting more and more popular every day because it is convenient. It is an outpatient procedure that allows you to get right back to work after the procedure is performed. The procedure is performed without the need to use anesthesia.

There are a lot of different reasons why people accumulate fat. However, regardless of what the reasons are, VelaShape® is the solution to help them lose fat, temporarily remove cellulite and contour their body into something they love.
