The ideal candidate is looking for a non-surgical cellulite reducing treatment. They are not obese and have a BMI of less than 30. Anyone with a pacemaker or metal or other implants in the treatment area are not candidates. Post pregnancy candidates must wait 3-6 months and must have discontinued nursing. A full medical history will be taken to ensure this is a safe treatment for you.

VelaShape features the unique elōs technology combination of bi-polar radio frequency (RF), infrared light energy, plus vacuum and mechanical massage to deploy targeted heat to adipose tissue. The combination of these energies increases the metabolism of stored energy, increases lymphatic drainage and reduces or shrinks the actual fat cells and fat chambers. The net result is gradual smoothening of skin’s surface with a noticeable reduction in cellulite.

Arrive for your treatment with clean dry skin. Do not use any perfume or lotion. Shaving of the treatment area is also advised. We also recommend that you drink plenty of water prior to your treatment and avoid eating for one hour if working on the stomach area.

Prior to your first treatment you will be weighed, measured and photographed. You will also be re-measured and photographed at the last treatment and weighed at each visit. This will allow us to track your progress over the course of your treatment and adjust your treatments as needed. You will then have the treatment area marked while you are standing, as cellulite or contour may change characteristics when you lay down. VelaSpray lotion will be massaged into your skin to allow for optimal results. You will then feel the treatment head slide across the area being treated. Most clients find VelaShape comfortable, like a warm deep tissue massage. You will feel a progressive heating and a suction sensation. This treatment is designed to accommodate your sensitivity and comfort level.

The majority of people will need 6-8 treatments. The number will vary among clients and depend on the clinical and physiological condition at the start of the treatment regime. Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first treatment, with the skin surface of the treated area feeling smoother, firmer and tighter. Results in circumference and cellulite reduction will be most apparent 6-8 weeks following the final treatment.

After your treatment you will have a warming sensation that may last for a few hours. If this sensation is excessive you may cool the area with a cold (not frozen) pack. You may also experience some redness and some patients occasionally experience bruising in the area. This should subside within a few days.

Following your complete treatment regimen, it is recommended to get maintenance treatments periodically. The time between your treatments will vary based upon your genetics and how you take care of yourself post-procedure. Like all non-surgical or surgical techniques, results will last longer if you follow a balanced diet and exercise regularly.
