What is VelaShape II
VelaShape II is a cutting edge technology that contours body fat in a non-invasive manner. The treatment is effective for skin firming/tightening, cellulite reduction, and reducing fatty deposits. VelaShape II contours, shapes and slims the body by diminishing the appearance of cellulite and reducing circumference of treated areas in as few as 4 treatment sessions. VelaShape is cleared by the FDA and provides dramatic results without downtime or significant discomfort.Â
How It Works
VelaShape is a wonderful alternative when diet and exercise aren't cutting it, but you don't want to go under the knife. It uses a combination of heat, massage, vacuum suction, infrared light, and bipolar radio frequency.
During this simple procedure, a handheld device is placed on the skin, and through pulsed vacuum technology, suction against the skin, massage rollers, and cellulite-causing fat cells are targeted.Â
Then, the infrared light and radiofrequency penetrate the fat cells, perforate the membranes, and cause the fat cells to release their fatty acids into the body and shrink.Â
As this is happening, it's also boosting collagen which, in the end, replaces skin laxity and promotes skin tightening. Through a series of short treatments, you can kiss loose skin goodbye and prepare for tighter, younger-looking skin.
