What does VelaShape machine do?

VelaShape is a non-invasive body contouring treatment designed to reduce cellulite and contour the body by combining several technologies. It is typically used to improve the appearance of skin and body shape in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and neck. Here's a detailed breakdown of what the VelaShape machine does and how it works:

Key Technologies Combined in VelaShape:

1. Infrared Light (IR):

  - Heats the tissue up to 5 mm in depth.

  - Increases skin elasticity and texture.

2. Bi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) Energy:

  - Heats tissue up to 15 mm in depth.

  - Enhances blood circulation and promotes collagen production.

3. Vacuum and Mechanical Massage:

  - Facilitates deeper heat penetration by pulling the skin closer to the energy sources.

  - Promotes lymphatic drainage and improves circulation.

How VelaShape Works:

1. Heating and Fat Cell Reduction:

  - The combination of infrared light and radiofrequency energy heats the fat cells, surrounding connective tissue, and underlying dermal collagen fibers.

  - This process stimulates collagen production and reduces the size of fat cells and fat chambers.

2. Improvement of Lymphatic Drainage:

  - The vacuum and mechanical massage help to improve lymphatic drainage, which aids in the removal of waste and toxins from the treated area.

3. Enhanced Skin Texture and Firmness:

  - By promoting collagen and elastin production, VelaShape improves skin texture and firmness, leading to a smoother and more toned appearance.

Benefits of VelaShape:

- Cellulite Reduction: Reduces the appearance of cellulite by targeting the fat cells and underlying structures that cause dimpled skin.

- Body Contouring: Helps contour and shape the body by reducing the circumference of treated areas.

- Non-Invasive: No surgery or downtime is required, making it a convenient option for body contouring.

- Comfortable Treatment: Most patients experience a warming sensation similar to a deep tissue massage.

Typical Treatment Areas:

- Abdomen

- Thighs

- Buttocks

- Flanks (love handles)

- Upper arms

- Neck (under the chin)

Treatment Protocol:

- Duration: Each session typically lasts between 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

- Number of Sessions: A series of treatments is usually recommended for optimal results, often ranging from 3 to 6 sessions spaced a week or two apart.

- Maintenance: Periodic maintenance treatments may be suggested to sustain the results.

Expected Results:

- Visible improvements can often be seen after a few treatment sessions, with optimal results typically visible around 8 to 10 weeks after the final session.

- Results vary based on individual factors such as skin type, the area being treated, and the number of treatments.

VelaShape offers a combination of technologies to effectively target and reduce cellulite and contour the body, providing a non-surgical option for those seeking to improve their body shape and skin appearance.
