VelaShape serves as a state-of the art FDA-cleared technology that contours your body, reducing/eliminating unwanted pockets of cellulite & fat.

You can conduct this treatment almost painlessly on stomach area, arms, buttocks, hips, thighs, and love handles. The Syneron technology for VelaShape incorporates 4 treatments in 1:

  1. Infrared and radio frequency radiation help massage rollers target fat cells responsible for cellulite.
  2. Lymphatic Drainage via Suction and Massage eliminate unwanted byproducts of such a breakdown.

Now, VelaShape proves extremely helpful for any with mild-to-severe cellulite. However, I do not recommend its use either for pregnant women or for those using pacemakers, defibrillators, or other electronic devices.

The procedure itself lasts about 20 minutes on any given area. Yet there’s also no downtime for the procedure; clients often pop in during lunch breaks to address problem areas on their bodies with this quick/effective non-invasive procedure. Additionally, to prevent bruising, patients with blood thinners should cease taking them at least 5 days pre-treatment. Finally, depending on the size of the body area being treated, the required number of sessions, aftercare, and the cost of a VelaShape treatment can all change. Conversely, some clinics provide initial consultations at no cost.

It’s truly no wonder this treatment remains popular to this day—especially after promotion on various prime-time shows like Rachel Ray, Oprah, and Dr. Phil.
