VelaShape is an FDA-approved cellulite treatment device made by Syneron that uses patented elos technology, a system that combines bi-polar radiofrequency and infrared light energy with vacuum and mechanical massage to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks, thighs, belly and love handles. VelaShape also provides a circumferential reduction of the thighs.
VelaShape Indications
Nearly every woman (and some men, too) develops cellulite at some point in her life and mistakenly thinks that weight gain or increased body fat are the cause. Although it is true that increased body fat and weight gain can make cellulite more apparent, cellulite usually occurs as the result of skin thinning and losing elasticity due to aging and genetic predisposition.
Other factors, such as smoking, lack of regular exercise, poor diet and hormones can also contribute to the development of cellulite. No matter the cause of your cellulite, women and men of any age and skin type can seek cellulite treatment with VelaShape.
VelaShape Cellulite Treatment
The bi-polar radiofrequency and infared light energy combined by VelaShape's elos technology targets and heats fatty tissue while manipulating and massaging the treatment area to increase lymphatic drainage and shrink your fat cells, effectively reducing the appearance of cellulite and smoothing your skin's appearance over the course of several treatments.
The body areas treated by VelaShape may also reduce in volume up to an inch.
Typically, 4 - 6 VelaShape treatments are recommended to see results, and the treatment series should be repeated as needed for long-term cellulite improvement.
VelaShape Recovery
VelaShape is non-invasive and does not require any downtime. You may return to work and normal daily activities immediately following your VelaShape treatment. Staying hydrated after VelaShape treatment may improve your results, as will following a healthy diet and daily exercise routine.
