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.

What are the Best Options for Non-Invasive Body Contouring?

For a long time, liposuction was the only way to contour the body. An invasive procedure that involves incisions, many people were wary of the scars and recovery time. With advances in technology come many options for non-invasive body contouring. But which ones are the best? UltraShape Power FDA-cleared, UltraShape Power uses focused, pulsed ultrasound for selective fat-cell removal. UltraShape destroys the fat cells in the focal area and increases blood circulation and lymphatic system activity to expedite the clearance of the liquefied fat. Targeting unwanted fat, this procedure reduces fat deposits and body circumference, and improves body shape. The body naturally removes these fat cells over a 2-3 week period and most patients see maximum results about 4 weeks after the procedure. The results are long-lasting. VelaShape Also FDA-cleared, VelaShape is a body shaping treatment that reduces cellulite and reduces the size of the stomach, hips, and thighs. Combining infrared light, radiofrequency energy and vacuum technologies to gently deep heat the fat cells, the surrounding connective tissues and underlying dermal collagen fibers. This stimulates [...]

What Is VelaShape and How Is It Different From UltraShape Power?

When it comes to non-invasive body contouring, it seems as though there are endless options available on the market today.  Each body contouring treatment promises inch loss, but they take very different approaches in order to achieve those results.  How do these body contouring treatments work, and how are they so different from one another? To help understand, let’s take a look at two popular non-invasive body contouring procedures: VelaShape and UltraShape Power. VelaShape combines the power of radiofrequency energy with vacuum technology to heat and destroys fat cells underneath the dermis.  In addition to destroying fat cells, radiofrequency helps to heat and trigger collagen production for younger, tighter-looking skin.  By combining these two effects, VelaShape helps to eliminate the appearance of cellulite and promote inch loss around the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and waistline. UltraShape Power uses ultrasound energy to heat and liquefies those same fat cells.  UltraShape Power delivers a bigger punch (clinical trials have shown that it reduces fat cells by up to 32%); however, it’s not as effective at eliminating the appearance of cellulite as VelaShape.  Therefore, [...]

What Are the Benefits of Using VelaShape With Cellfina?

You may already know that Cellfina is an excellent solution for individuals who may be bothered by the appearance of cellulite on their thighs and buttocks.  Cellfina’s FDA-approved microneedling technology breaks up the collagen bands that push fat tissue up to the surface of the skin, resulting in the dimpling that’s so common with cellulite.  With just a single 30-minute treatment, clients can see impressive results that last for two or more years. Now it turns out that there’s another treatment that can be used to complement the incredible results from Cellfina– one that can tighten and smooth skin to highlight your cellulite-free body! At the Laser Skin Care Center in Long Beach, CA, our technicians can use VelaShape alongside Cellfina treatments to help produce your best results possible.  Since Cellfina uses microneedling methods to break up the bands that cause cellulite, patients often notice tiny puncture wounds at the treatment site.  VelaShape eliminates the appearance of microscopic punctures by using radiofrequency energy to heat and tighten the deepest dermis layers. In addition to this effect, VelaShape combines radiofrequency and massage [...]
