How It Works
VelaShape® technology combines infrared light, bi-polar radio frequency energy and vacuum, which cause deep heating of the fat cells, their surrounding connective tissue and the underlying dermal collagen fibers. This type of efficient heating and vacuum stimulates the growth of new and better collagen and elastin which results in localized reduction in skin laxity, body volume, and an overall improvement in skin structure and texture.
VelaShape® is not a weight loss treatment. Instead, it uses a combination of technologies to contour your body, reducing the trouble spots that diet and exercise can’t reach. The ideal VelaShape® patient is someone with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of less than 30, who falls under The Nurnberger-Muller Cellulite Classification Stage 1 and 2.
The Nurnberger-Muller Cellulite Classification Scale
Stage 1: NO dimpling while the patient is standing or lying down, but the pinch test reveals the "orange peel" appearance.
Stage 2: "Orange peel" dimpling appears spontaneously when standing up, but not when lying down.
Stage 3: "Orange peel" dimpling appears spontaneously both when standing up and lying down.

When Will I See Results?
Visible results can be achieved in as little as 3 sessions! The number of treatments varies from individual to individual depending on the condition treated and purpose for treatment.
For corrective procedures, we generally recommend 6 treatments, spaced 1-2 weeks apart, with results generally seen 4-8 weeks after beginning treatment.
The treatment itself can take 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of zones being treated.
