Can Velashape Contouring Make My Clothes Fit Better?

An estimated 85% to 98% of women over the age of 18 have cellulite – which affects women regardless of size, shape, or weight. VelaShape is a non-invasive body shaping treatment to reduce cellulite and slim the stomach, hips, and thighs. Treatment enables you to safely achieve a toned, contoured and well-shaped body in as few as four treatment sessions, making you look and feel more youthful and confident. Though not a weight loss procedure, Velashape reshapes and tones your body and helps you to lose inches from your hips, thighs, and waist. This can make your clothes fit better – particularly skinny jeans and close fitting tops. It will not, however, help you drop several pant sizes! If you desire to contour your body, fit better into clothing, and reduce trouble spots and cellulite that don’t respond to diet and exercise, VelaShape may be a great option.

During a chemical peel, chemicals are applied to the skin to destroy the outer layers of the skin – the layers damaged by acne. A chemical peel speeds up our body’s natural exfoliation process. Chemical peels have different strengths and depths of penetration, including deep, medium, and light. Their technical names are: alphahydroxy acid (AHA) or glycolic acid peels, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels, and phenol peels. AHA peels are the lightest and most gentle; TCA peels are a bit stronger; and phenol peels are the strongest.
