Stubborn pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise, especially around the abdominal area, are common. In addition, unsightly cellulite is also very common as you age. While you may think surgical intervention, such as a tummy tuck, thigh lift, or liposuction is necessary to reach your body contouring goals, the fact is you are not limited to surgery and the timely recovery it includes.
For those looking to treat stubborn fat pockets and cellulite, VelaShape offers a minimally invasive procedure that helps you achieve your body contouring goals.
What Is Velashape?
If you are looking to eliminate pockets of fat or cellulite and achieve your body contouring goals without having surgery, VelaShape is an effective alternative. VelaShape uses a combination of heat, infrared light, bipolar radio frequency, massage, and vacuum suction to target fat cells and trigger the release of fatty acids into your body, allowing for the shrinking of the fat cells and the reduction of fatty areas. At the same time, VelaShape naturally enhances your natural collagen production which contributes to increased skin laxity, leaving it easier for the skin to tighten around the areas of fat loss.
What Areas of the Body Can Benefit From Velashape?
VelaShape is a versatile procedure that can target fat and cellulite in many areas of the body. Common areas targeted by VelaShape include:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- Neck
The VelaShape Procedure and Results
Your VelaShape procedure can be done in multiple short treatments lasting 30+ minutes a couple weeks apart or you can opt for a 60- to 75-minute treatment. Either method delivers similar results and which one you choose depends on your schedule. During your procedure, a rolling handpiece tool passes over the targeted area of the body. Delivering a combination of infrared and radiofrequency while also vacuuming the treatment area tightly helps shrink the fat cells.
VelaShape does not deliver immediate results. You will begin seeing noticeable results around 4 to 6 weeks post-procedure, with the best results around 10 to 12 weeks after your final treatment.
How To Maintain Your New Curves
VelaShape does not destroy the fat cells but rather causes them to release the fatty acids within the cells, causing them to shrink in size. The best way to maintain your new body contours is to follow a healthy diet and exercise program. For optimal results, you may want to consider regular VelaShape treatments every three months or so.
If you are battling with stubborn pockets of fat or unwanted cellulite, you are not limited to surgical options, such as a tummy tuck. VelaShape allows you to address these body contouring concerns and deliver the results you are looking for.
