It is normal to experience a warm sensation for a few hours post treatment. Your skin may also appear red than usual for several hours.

Post treatment skin on treated area could feel tighter. It is normal to have an inner heated sensation for up to a few hours post treatment. In some cases, mild redness can be observed.

What are the VelaShapeT advantages compared to other methods?
Our advantage is our technology. Today, there are no other methods available that include a combination of Bi-Polar RF, Infrared Light, Vacuum and Mechanical Massage like VelaShapeT, and no other method can guarantee the clinically proven results, efficacy and safety in 4 treatments as the VelaShapeT. VelaShapeT is the only non-surgical medical device cleared by the FDA for circumferential reduction.

Does the VelaShape ® replace Liposuction? 
 
For many people, VelaShape will be a safer, gentler, less downtime alternative to liposuction. The VelaShape ® is also a terrific compliment to liposuction. Liposuction will remove fat in specific areas and can improve the shape of your body. The problem with liposuction is that it removes the fat deep down beneath the skin but cannot get close enough to the surface to help cellulite. In fact liposuction can actually make cellulite look worse. If you have had liposuction and have visible or more cellulite after surgery - then the VelaShape, might be the next step to achieve smooth and contoured skin.

VelaShape is the next generation of the VelaSmooth and now the first and only non-surgical FDA-cleared medical device for the Body Reshaping market and the first FDA class II cleared platform for Cellulite Treatment. VelaShape features the revolutionary els technology combination of Bi-Polar radiofrequency (RF), Infrared Light Energy, plus Vacuum and Mechanical Massage. The combination of these energies increases the metabolism of stored energy, increases lymphatic drainage and reduces or shrinks the size of the actual fat cells and fat chambers. The net result leads to Circumferential Reduction*, with noticeable reshaping of the treated area.

In a multi-center study, 85% of the treated areas have reported Circumferential Reduction of thighs of at least 1cm; ranging up to 7.2cm in reduction.
