What Is Velashape Non-invasive Treatment?

Velashape is a non-invasive laser procedure that uses Radiofrequency and Infrared Light Energy to shrink fat cells and tighten the skin. It is the only FDA cleared device that effectively and safely contours, shapes and slims the body by reducing cellulite and firming problem areas within 4 treatments. 
Velashape combines vacuum and tissue manipulation to modify deeper fat layers and associated connective tissues to reveal a smoother and tighter figure. It utilizes three modalities to smoothen and tighten the skin which are deep tissue massage, infrared and radio-frequency.
Most commonly used on the buttocks, thighs, arms, and abdomen, clinical trials illustrate circumferential reduction in these areas ranging between 0.5 to 3 inches. Patients commonly see improvement after their first treatment, with skin surface of treated areas feeling smoother, firmer, and tighter, and cellulite reduction most apparent 6 to 8 weeks later.
velashape cellulite treatments are not permanent--there is, in fact, no permanent cellulite reduction treatment. VelaShape treatments are meant to be long-lasting (3-4 months) and maintainable. Complete the initial series of treatments to get great results, but plan to do maintenance treatments to keep those results. You can figure about 1-2 maintenance treatments every 2-3 months will be needed to maintain your results.
Potential side effects from velashape cellulite treatment include bruising, mild redness on the skin and the rare cases of skin crusting from the electrodes hitting the skin. And if you get a burn, there's a chance of infection which can lead to scarring. That isn't very common and it can be prevented by lowering the level of the energy delivered to the skin. The redness and swelling after the treatment is normal and it usually lasts for a couple of hours.Velashape is very safe and as with anything, having your treatment done by experienced providers will minimize your risk. 
After completing a series of vela shape treatments it depends how determined you are to maintain the results. It is recommended to have an individual treatment once every 3 months for maintenance. For best results, it is recommended that periodic maintenance treatments be continued, with skin quality changes and circumferential reduction lasting longer when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. If you are looking for more permanent results, you should consider a cellulite Thermage treatment (whose results last for up to 18 months) or surgery.
