A Three-Prong Approach

Here’s how it works: The heat from the RF and infrared light elements of the VelaShape device stimulate the energy “trapped” in the skin’s adipocytes (the medical term for fat cells), causing them to gradually shrink. Those are the cells, of course, that form cellulite, so as they shrink, so do the unwanted pockets of cellulite, improving the skin’s contour.

While VelaShape’s heat works on reducing the fat cells, the device’s mechanical rollers manipulate and smooth out the skin.

In addition to minimizing cellulite dimpling, VelaShape reduces the circumference of the treated thighs—by an average of about an inch, according to studies.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved VelaShape (and its earlier incarnation, VelaSmooth) for the treatment of cellulite on the thighs.

What To Expect During Treatment

VelaShape sessions can last from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on how large an area of your skin is being treated.

What To Expect Afterwards

Although you’ll notice some tightening and smoothing of your skin immediately, the shrinking of the fat cells takes time. You may need to wait several weeks to see a significant reduction in cellulite. For best results, I usually recommend four to six treatment sessions, with a week of recovery between sessions.
