How does the VelaShape™ work?
Vacuum suction and massage from the mechanical rollers draw circulation into the local area for increased oxygen availability, as well as manipulation of the tissue for drainage of trapped fluids through the lymphatic system. You may have heard of Endermology which uses this type of technology. The VelaShape however adds intense heat from the infrared light source and the bi-polar RF is deployed into the hypodermis to facilitate the use of energy from adipocytes in this layer. The VelaShape has 10 times the effective power of the original VelaSmooth. Use of these stored triglycerides results in the shrinkage of the actual fat cell and reduces the total volume within the fat chamber. This is how cellulite appears reduced even after only a few treatment sessions. Focal aggressive treatment to specific lipodystrophic areas such as “love handles” and “saddlebags” results in contouring of the area.

There is often visible and measurable contouring of the lumps and bumps as evidenced by post-treatment photos, girth measurements, and what most patients love the most….how their favorite pair of jeans seem to fit much better!
