VelaShape II™
What is the VelaShape II™?
VelaShape II is the first ever FDA cleared device for circumferential reduction and the first class II cleared device for the treatment of cellulite. The VelaShape II combines vacuum suction, mechanical rollers, and heating through infrared light and bi-polar RF energy. Reduction in cellulite and contouring of excess fat (unwanted lumps, bumps and bulges) and circumference are the treatment goals for VelaShape II.
The VelaShape II combines gentle light and radio frequency energies (elos™) with mechanical rollers and vacuum suction to manipulate the superficial fat tissue layer that contributes to cellulite. The heat from the light and RF energies increases metabolism of this fatty layer and shrinks the size of fat cells. The mechanical rollers and vacuum suction act on the blood vessels to increase circulation to the local area, as well as massaging the skin to achieve a smoother, less dimpled surface appearance.
How often are treatments performed?
The initial treatment series consists of 4-6 treatment sessions- treatments are performed once a week. Some patients see the improvements as soon as 2- sessions, while others may need the full 4-6 sessions. Maintenance treatments are typically done after the initial series in order to keep up the results achieved. Each treatment session is between 20-30 minutes long, but the time varies depending on a patient's size and how many treatment sites are indicated.
What happens after each treatment?
The treated area may appear flushed or pink from the heat for a short while, and may feel warm for several hours after treatment. One can resume normal activities immediately.
How does the patient tolerate VelaShape™ treatments?
Most patients find VelaShape treatments comfortable – like a warm deep tissue massage. There is some pinkness to the skin and the areas feel warm for a short period of time after a completed treatment session. Normal activities may be resumed the same day.
Is treatment with the VelaShape II™ safe?
Treatment is safe and effective for all skin colors and can be performed even on tanned skin. There are no long-term health hazards from light or RF energies. Excessive tanning from the sun, sun-beds, or tanning creams should be avoided two weeks prior to treatment.
Who should get VelaShape™ treatment for cellulite?
Anyone who wants improvement of the appearance of cellulite in the thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen. Contouring of unwanted bulges and disproportionate fatty areas is also a benefit of VelaShape treatments. The effects of body contouring and reduction of girth for some patients may be enhanced by compliance to healthy lifestyle.
