If you are struggling with areas of stubborn fat that simply won’t respond to diet and exercise, you are not alone. In 2023, nearly 350,000 men and women turned to liposuction to remove excess fat and enhance the contours of their bodies. While liposuction is an effective procedure to address pockets of fat, it isn’t always enough to address additional concerns, such as cellulite or loose skin. This is where VelaShape III can take your body contouring goals to the next level without the need for an additional surgical procedure. Let’s explore how this dynamic duo can work together to enhance your body’s natural curves and smooth out imperfections for an even more satisfying outcome.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets pockets of excess fat that do not respond to a healthy diet and exercise routine. During liposuction, Dr. Campanile inserts a cannula through a small incision near the targeted area. The cannula loosens the fat through a back-and-forth motion before removing the fat through suction. After your procedure, you will be asked to wear a compression garment for several weeks to enhance results, but most people can return to work after a week and resume normal activities after six weeks.
What Liposuction Can’t Do
While liposuction is very effective at removing pockets of stubborn fat, it can contribute to additional concerns. For example, if your skin has lost elasticity, it may not be able to bounce back into place once the excess fat is removed. In this case, it can leave you with sagging, excess skin in the treatment area, leaving many to turn to another surgical procedure, such as a tummy tuck or thigh lift. In addition, if you battle cellulite, liposuction may seem like the ideal treatment, but in actuality, it can make the dimpling more obvious. In this case, non-surgical options, such as VelaShape III offer the best solution.
What Is VelaShape III?
VelaShape III is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that combines infrared light, bi-polar radiofrequency energy, and vacuum technology. This combination reduces excess fat, addresses the appearance of cellulite, and helps shape the body by tightening the skin and improving overall skin texture. It’s a comfortable, no-downtime procedure suitable for various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, and buttocks.
How Does VelaShape III Enhance Liposuction Results?
VelaShape III enhances liposuction results by addressing aspects that liposuction alone cannot fully resolve. After liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits, VelaShape III helps smooth and tighten the skin, reducing any irregularities and improving overall skin texture. Additionally, VelaShape III targets and reduces the appearance of cellulite, which liposuction doesn’t address. Combining these treatments can provide a comprehensive body contouring solution.
