VelaShape II for Cellulite and Fat Reduction | Myrtle Beach, SC
Aug 15th, 2010 by admin
The VelaShape II is a specially designed, FDA approved, non-invasive device used for the treatment of cellulite and circumferential reduction. It effectively trims the body and reduces the appearance of cellulite. The device uses an innovative technology that combines vacuum suction and mechanical rollers with heat produced by infrared light and radio frequency energies.
The Vela Shape II uses infrared light and radio frequency energies plus vacuum and rollers to reduce cellulite and circumference and to contour unwanted lumps, bulges, and bumps. The heat from the light and radio frequency energies reduces the size of the fat chambers and fat cells. It also helps to increase the drainage of lymph, which contributes to the appearance of cellulite. The specially designed vacuum and rollers manipulate the tissue and help to even out energy distribution. The massage from the rollers and vacuum increase circulation and massage the skin resulting in a smoother, less dimpled appearance. In other words, the Vela Shape II treats deep tissue and outer tissue. The deep tissue is reached by the higher levels of radio frequency, which aids in circumferential reduction. The infrared light penetrates the outer layers and targets the cellulite. Both of these procedures work hand-in-hand with the heat and vacuum which enable precise delivery of the energies to the target area.
The initial treatment is performed once a week for a period of 4 to 6 sessions. To maintain the results, follow up treatments are typically done once a month. The sessions last about 20-30 minutes, but this can vary according to a patient’s size and the number of treatment sites. Most patients say the treatment is comfortable and comparable to a deep tissue massage. Skin may appear pink for a short period following a treatment. Warmth may also be felt for a few hours afterwards. These effects are temporary. The treatment can safely be performed on any skin color, and there are no health risks due to the infrared light or radio frequency energies. A patient should see improvements such as firmer and tighter skin and a measurable reduction in the circumference of treated areas. Sometimes improvements are seen within two sessions.
