VelaShape™ is the first and only non-surgical FDA-cleared medical device for the Body Reshaping market and the first FDA class II cleared platform for Cellulite Treatment featuring the revolutionary elos™ technology that enables you to comfortably achieve a toned, contoured and well shaped body.

What is VelaShape™?


http://www.lovelyskin.com/velashape

VelaShape™ uses the elos™ combination of Bi-Polar Radiofrequency (RF), Infrared Light Energy, plus Vacuum and Mechanical Massage. The combination of infrared and conducted RF energies precisely heats the dermal and the hypodermal tissue within the target treatment area. The precise heating ensures a safe and effective treatment with no downtime.

How does VelaShape™ work?

Vacuum and specially designed rollers for the mechanical massage smooth out the skin to facilitate safe and efficient heat energy delivery. The net result increases the metabolism of stored energy, increases lymphatic drainage and reduces or shrinks the size of the actual fat cells and fat chambers.

How does VelaShape™ work? (cont.)




You should consult with Dr. Schlessinger (or your dermatologist) to see if VelaShape™ is right for you.

Who is a candidate for VelaShape™?





With VelaShape™, you can be treated for cellulite on the thighs, buttocks, love handles and abdomen.

Where can I get a VelaShape™ treatment done?





Most patients find VelaShape™ treatments comfortable - like a warm deep tissue massage. The treatment is designed to accommodate your sensitivity and comfort level. It is normal to experience a warm sensation for a few hours post treatment. Your skin may also appear redder than usual for several hours.

Does it hurt?




The length of the treatment time varies depending on the size of the area that you would like to have treated. In general, treatments will last between 45 to 60 minutes.

How long does a VelaShape™ treatment take?


http://www.lovelyskin.com/velashape.asp


Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first treatment and the skin surface of the treated area will feel smoother. You can also look forward to reshaping of the treatment area. Most patients see gradual and cumulative results throughout the treatment regimen.

How soon will I see results?




VelaShape™ is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure. The treatment is virtually painless and there is no downtime. It is normal to have an inner heated sensation for up to a few hours post treatment. In some cases, mild redness can be observed.

Do I have to do anything special afterward?




The number of treatments required to successfully achieve the desired result varies from client to client. Many patients see a significant improvement in the look and feel of their skin within the first few treatment sessions.

How many treatments will I need?




For many patients, the initial results of Velashape™ therapy last for several months or longer. We encourage maintenance sessions every month to ensure long-term benefits and to keep your skin looking its best.

How long do the results last?




VelaShape™ is the only proven device with breakthrough results because it treats both the deeper tissue and the upper layers of the skin. This results in a measurable reduction in the appearance of cellulite. VelaShape™ offers a non-surgical, no downtime and virtually painless treatment for the Body Reshaping and Cellulite Treatment market, with proven results in as few as four to eight treatment sessions.

How is VelaShape™ different from other body reshaping procedures?




Is VelaShape™ safe?


Absolutely! VelaShape™ is FDA cleared as safe and effective for all skin types and colors. The procedure does not involve surgery. Most patients experience little to no pain. Short term effects can include mild bruising or redness.
