Some individuals who are looking for safe ways to deal with the shapes of their bodies can consider Velashape, a noninvasive and relatively moderate procedure used in cosmetic dermatology offices. Velashape, like the original Velasmooth product that it is based on, uses energy to stimulate cells and alter the body contours of a patient. Doctors generally administer this treatment in dermatology offices or medically certified spas or health clubs. Patients typically get a series of treatments, with some monthly maintenance visits afterward.
Reduces Cellulite
The main intended use for Velashape is to break up the fat deposits generally known as cellulite. Cellulite can build up in specific body areas, causing bumps, lumps, ridges and other alterations in the body contour. Unlike normal fat, cellulite can be more rigid or uneven under the skin.
Slims Targeted Areas
There's also another primary use for the Velashape product. The maker of this technology claims that when it applies heat energy to fat cells, those cells are metabolically stimulated, allowing them to release some of the fat content. In theory, this results in slimming down the target areas of the body. It's important to note that Velashape results will typically last 6 to 8 weeks unless they are accompanied by maintenance treatments, as well as a good schedule of diet and exercise. Specific Velashape results and risks are different for each patient, so talk to local doctors about how this product can work for you, and whether there are any risks of side effects or complications with Velashape.
