VelaShape® III 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 fibres. This type of efficient heating and vacuum stimulates the growth of new and better collagen and elastin, resulting in localised reduction in skin laxity, body volume, and an overall improvement in skin structure and texture.
You can expect gradual smoothing of skin’s surface with a noticeable reduction in cellulite. Also, circumferential reduction, with noticeable reshaping of the treated area.
Most patients find VelaShape® III comfortable and describe the treatment as feeling like a warm deep-tissue massage. The treatment parameters are easily adjusted to ensure a comfortable treatment experience. It is normal to experience a warm sensation for a few hours after your treatment. Some patients report a pinkish appearance at the treatment area that may last a few hours post-treatment, and skin may appear pink for several hours.
VelaShape® III uses vacuum technology to manipulate your skin while infrared light (IR) and bi-polar radio frequency (RF) energies will gently heat fat cells and surrounding tissue. Throughout your treatments, you will notice a reduction in both circumference and in the appearance of cellulite in the treated areas.
