New VelaShape: The only FDA approved laser for cellulite and localized fat reduction.
Medical Aesthetics, a boutique medical spa in SOHO, today announced the availability of the VelaShape Laser. The VelaShape is the only FDA approved laser for cellulite and localized fat reduction. The VelaShape is the more powerful version of the original Velasmooth laser manufactured by Syneron, offering clients more effective results in as few as 6 sessions.
VelaShape features the revolutionary elos(TM) technology combination of Bi-Polar radiofrequency(RF), Infrared Light Energy, plus Vacuum and Mechanical Massage. The combination of these energies increases the metabolism of stored energy, increases lymphatic drainage and reduces the size of the actual fat cells and fat chambers. The net result leads to circumferential reduction, with noticeable reshaping of the treated area, as well as smoother skin and a decrease in the appearance of cellulite.
In a multi-center study, 85 percent of the treated areas have reported circumferential reduction of thighs of at least 1 cm, ranging up to 7.2cm in reduction.
"The VelaShape is in high demand due to the fast and effective results," said Dr. Leslie Gerstman, owner of Medical Aesthetics. "The older VelaSmooth required us to perform 16 sessions to see results. With the VelaShape, clients are seeing results in as few as six sessions. It is amazing, and our clients are very happy."
Because the VelaShape technology is an FDA-cleared medical device, it is only sold to physicians for use by trained professionals under their medical direction.
