Is VelaShape III finally an effective device for non-invasive liposuction and cellulite reduction?
VelaShape III is the latest FDA-cleared device offering a non-invasive technology for reducing cellulite, decreasing abdominal and hip circumference, and firming the skin overall. VelaShape III reduces thigh circumference, smooths the hips, enhances the effect of liposuction, contours the buttocks, firms the abdomen and other areas. The result is more beautiful body contours and firmer skin, helping you feel better and look younger. The VelaShape III device is also suitable for loose or sagging skin anywhere on the body, for example after pregnancy or rapid weight loss.
What is non-invasive liposuction?
Non-invasive liposuction is a procedure carried out without needles, skin incisions or anaesthesia, meaning there is no direct intervention on your body.
So how does the device actually work?
VelaShape III combines 3 effective technologies to fight cellulite, reduce circumference and firm the skin overall: bipolar radiofrequency, infrared light and vacuum massage. The synergistic effect of these technologies intensively heats fat cells stored deep in the subcutaneous tissue, improving blood circulation and increasing cellular metabolism. This leads to shrinking of fat cells, an overall reduction in localised fat and a decrease in cellulite. While infrared light intensively heats tissue to a depth of 3 mm, bipolar radiofrequency penetrates to a depth of up to 20 mm. The vacuum draws the skin closer to the massage head, allowing precise and effective delivery of energy to the treated tissue. The combined action of infrared energy and radiofrequency increases blood flow in the tissue, stimulates fibroblast activation, boosts fat cell metabolism and improves skin texture. This creates a hyperthermic effect, triggering lipolysis and the breakdown of fat cells. The vacuum massage increases metabolic activity, improves lymphatic circulation and reduces the viscosity of fat cell clusters. The vacuum also promotes vasodilation and releases oxygen and nutrients, while allowing even heating at different tissue depths.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment is not painful at all. It can be compared to a warm massage.
A special patented gel is applied to the targeted area, and regular movements of the device's massage head warm the underlying tissue. The device is designed to adapt to your sensitivity and comfort level. The length of the treatment depends on the area being treated, but it usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. We recommend 3 to 6 sessions per area, at two-week intervals, depending on your needs and the degree of cellulite. However, you may notice a change after just two sessions.
Thanks to this treatment, you can now improve the appearance of your body within a few days, without dieting or starving yourself. This device targets exactly those stubborn areas of fat that bother you the most, and which you may have already tried to reduce through various massages, creams or exercise.
