For some people, dieting and exercising are not enough to achieve their desired body shape. Many people have benefited from popular body sculpting treatments that supplement their healthy habits. One popular body sculpting treatment is the safe and effective technology known as VelaShape®.
What is VelaShape®?
VelaShape® is a body contouring procedure that reduces body fat and cellulite, giving your body a smoother and more slender appearance. Additionally, this FDA-cleared treatment tightens loose skin to help patients reach their desired body shape.
This non-invasive procedure uses three technologies (infrared light, radiofrequency energy, and vacuum technology) to give you a well-contoured and well-toned body in approximately three VelaShape® sessions. You can expect visible results by the second week and final results after ten weeks. Each VelaShape® treatment takes less than an hour to complete.
How Long Do VelaShape® Results Last?
While there is no permanent solution for cellulite reduction, VelaShape® treatments offer long-lasting results. VelaShape® results will vary from person to person, as every patient has a different degree of cellulite and skin elasticity. For some patients, VelaShape® results may only last from 3-4 months, while others may see results for 6-12 months.
Fortunately, VelaShape® results are maintainable. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as engaging in healthy eating habits and exercising, can make VelaShape® results last longer. In fact, some patients have prolonged their body sculpting results for years. Another way to maintain results includes getting another VelaShape® treatment once every three months.
How Is VelaShape® Different From Other Body Sculpting Methods?
It may be hard to choose the body sculpting method that is right for you and will provide optimal results, as there are so many to choose from. Fortunately, Laser Skin Care Center offers two of the most popular body sculpting methods that may give you the result you’re looking for: Ultrashape® and VelaShape®.
Both body contouring treatments are non-surgical procedures, which means that they don’t require incisions, don’t leave scarring, and don’t require downtime. Although both VelaShape® and Ultrashape® are similar, they each take a unique approach to body sculpting while producing different results.
Unlike VelaShape®, Ultrashape® does not target or reduce the appearance of cellulite. It also does not improve skin elasticity and texture. This FDA-approved technology is used on the hips and stomach to reduce stubborn fat that many struggle to lose even after dieting and exercising. On the other hand, VelaShape® focuses more on diminishing the appearance of cellulite on the thighs, stomach, buttocks, arms, and other body areas.
Choosing between VelaShape® and UltraShape® depends on the body sculpting results you are searching for.
Am I a Good Candidate for VelaShape® or UltraShape®?
It is important to remember that VelaShape® and UltraShape® are not weight loss solutions but are perfect complements for people who lead healthy lifestyles. People close to their ideal weight range may be better candidates for these procedures and are more likely to see better results. Individuals with BMI of 30 or less are also ideal candidates for these procedures. To determine which body sculpting procedure is right for you, it is best to schedule a consultation with a skilled technician at Laser Skin Care Center in Long Beach, CA.
