Body Contouring : VelaShape
VelaShape and VelaSmooth are the first and only non-surgical FDA-cleared medical devices for body reshaping, cellulite reduction and localized circumferential reduction in areas such as the thighs, buttocks, hips and abdomen. The technology inherent in both VelaShape and VelaSmooth effectively treats both the deeper tissue and the upper layers of the skin, resulting in the smoothest and most supple body contours in as few as 4 treatment sessions.
VelaShapeT and VelaSmooth combine Bi-Polar Radiofrequency (RF) and Infrared Light Energy with Vacuum and Mechanical Massage. The combination of infrared and conducted RF energies heats the dermal and the hypodermal tissue within the target treatment area. Vacuum and specially designed rollers for the Mechanical Massage smooth out the skin to facilitate safe and efficient heat energy delivery. In so doing, localized metabolism and lymphatic drainage increase, while the size of fat cells and fat chambers decrease. The net result is a smoother, less dimpled appearance of the skin and a circumferential reduction of the area treated.
Most patients require 4-12 weekly or biweekly treatment sessions before maximum benefits of VelaShape/ VelaSmooth are realized. Depending on the health and lifestyle of the individual, maintenance sessions are administered typically once every 1-3 months. There is no down time and the treatments are virtually painless, therefore VelaSmooth/VelaShape present an attractive option for individuals interested in the benefits of body contouring without the pain and recovery associated with more invasive treatments.
