The cosmetic dermatology product known as VelaShape uses an innovative "elos" technology that, according to the Syneron company, the producer of this new apparatus, can reduce or eliminate cellulite and even slim down areas of body tissue for a thinner look.
How Does VelaShape Work?
In a VelaShape treatment session, a trained technician applies a vacuum component to the target area. Radio energy heats up the skin at a cellular level. This is intended to smooth away cellulite and stimulate the cell metabolism in order to reduce the size of fat cells.
Recovery after VelaShape
One of the things that attracts some patients to VelaShape is that it is a non-invasive process that has few reported side effects when administered professionally, and generally requires no recovery time. Most patients can go about their daily activities directly after a VelaShape procedure. The VelaShape treatment does not require any local or general anesthesia.
According to many doctors who administer this treatment, side effects with VelaShape are extremely rare. However, some patients have reported bruising after a VelaShape procedure. Other patients have reported that the skin can become red for several hours after VelaShape. In most cases, this condition will go away on its own, and will not cause danger to the patient.
Those considering this kind of treatment for slimming the body and getting rid of cellulite can talk to local doctors for a realistic view of what is involved in VelaShape, and whether a patient is a good candidate for this treatment.
