The name is confusing, because there was VelaShape I and II before, and neither device was great because they both required multiple treatments, as well as frequent follow-up treatments to maintain results.
We try to explain to our patients that the latest VelaShape III is NOTHING like the oldder Velashape I or II, so they cannot compare the newer model to the old.
However, the names and numbers do make it confusing for the consumer to know exactly which device is being used, so we’d like to try and explain why we are so intrigued and happy with the new VelaShape III. Overall, VelaShape III is now one of the most advanced technology that is FDA-cleared for reduction of cellulite and circumferential fat-reduction.
Velashape III pre-treatment advice
What can I expect from VelaShape III treatments?
Clients can expect gradual smoothing of skin’s surface with a noticeable reduction in cellulite & fat deposits. There is also circumferential reduction with a noticeable reshaping of the treated area.
What is the VelaShape III procedure like?
Most patients find VelaShape III comfortable and describe the treatment as feeling like a warm deep-tissue massage. To combat this discomfort, treatment parameters are easily adjusted to ensure a comfortable treatment experience. It is normal to experience a warm sensation for a few hours post-treatment. Some patients report a pinkish appearance of the treatment area that may last a few to several hours post-treatment.
What are the possible side effects of VelaShape III?
Possible side effects following a VelaShape III procedure can include tingling, localized warmth, redness, and bruising. These side effects typically resolve quickly after the treatment.
How does Velashape III work?
VelaShape III technology combines infrared light, bipolar radiofrequency energy and vacuum, which causes deep heating of the fat cells, their surrounding connective tissue and the underlying dermal collagen fibers. This promotes the stimulation of the growth of new collagen and elastin, which can result in a localized reduction in skin laxity, body volume, and an overall improvement in skin structure and texture. VelashapeIII does work and is the only non-invasive machine to combine four different technologies including IR(infrared), Bi-Polar RF(radio-frequency)and mechanical tissue manipulation using a pulsed vacuum and massage rollers. The combination of the IR and vacuum coupled RF technologies causes deep heating of connective tissue, which in return stimulates collagen.
How quickly will I notice a change?
Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first VelaShape III treatment – with the skin surface of the treated area feeling smoother, firmer and tighter. Results in cellulite reduction will be most apparent 6 – 8 weeks following the final VelaShape III treatment session.
How many treatments do I need?
With a series of 5-6 treatments, 7 to 14 days apart, we have seen significant improvement in cellulite and skin elasticity. It should be remembered that it is not possible to remove cellulite permanently, to maintain the results, follow up treatments will be required.
Are the results permanent?
Cellulite is predominantly a women’s issue and many women experience a change to their skin’s appearance over time. Over time there is a dimpled appearance showing up most often on the back of the thighs, abdomen, and buttocks. VelaShape III uses a combination of technologies to change the appearance of your skin providing dramatic results without downtime or significant discomfort. However, it can’t stop the body’s natural aging and reproduction of a dimpled look underneath the skin. We all age, however, we can age better!
VelaShape III utilizes vacuum technology to manipulate your skin while infrared light (IR) and bi-polar radio frequency (RF) energies may gently heat fat cells and surrounding tissue.
VelaShape III technology combines infrared light, bipolar 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 a localized reduction in skin laxity, body volume, and an overall improvement in skin structure and texture.
