VelaShape 3

VelaShape III is a non-invasive body reshaping treatment designed to firm the skin, reduce cellulite, and improve overall body contours. By utilizing a combination of infrared light, bipolar radiofrequency (RF), and gentle suction, this advanced technology delivers deep heating that stimulates collagen and elastin production. This process effectively tightens the skin, reduces circumference, and facilitates targeted cellulite treatment by addressing dermal collagen fibers and localized fat deposits.

Book an Appointment

Patients frequently describe a comfortable treatment experience, often likening the sensation to that of a deep tissue massage. This soothing effect enhances patient satisfaction and relaxation during each session. Many individuals observe visible improvements in skin texture, firmness, and body shape after just a few sessions, leading to increased confidence in their overall appearance.

Results are typically visible after a few treatment sessions, with ongoing improvements as collagen and elastin production continues. The strategic combination of technologies employed in VelaShape III not only elevates the skin’s aesthetic quality but also contributes to a marked improvement in skin structure, providing long-lasting benefits that resonate well with patients seeking effective body contouring solutions.

Areas of Interventions

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

During your detailed consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals, including circumferential reduction, areas of concern, and overall body composition. This personalized approach allows us to tailor the treatment plan to your specific needs. Factors such as body mass index (BMI), skin elasticity, and targeted areas will influence the treatment plan, and the number of sessions required. Ideal candidates have a BMI of 30 or less and have achieved their weight loss goals prior to treatment.

Step 2

Take Pictures

Photographs taken before the treatment will provide a visual reference, helping you track progress. After photos will allow you to appreciate the changes in your body contour, skin texture, and circumferential reduction following the procedure.

Step 3

Proceed with Treatment

The VelaShape III procedure combines four advanced technologies to target sagging skin and cellulite. During each session, infrared laser and bipolar RF energy are used to heat the treatment area, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin while enhancing the strength of connective tissue. Gentle suction brings the skin closer to the energy source for maximum effect, and the treatment includes massage rollers to stimulate circulation and further enhance results. Patients often describe the experience as comfortable, with a warming sensation that feels similar to a deep tissue massage. A session typically lasts around 30-45 minutes, and many report visible improvements in skin texture and firmness following the treatment, contributing to increased confidence in their body contours.

Step 4

Return to Normal Activities

VelaShape III is non-invasive, with no downtime required. After your session, you may resume normal activities, though it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Some patients may experience mild redness or swelling, but this typically resolves within a few hours.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

For optimal results, multiple sessions may be recommended. Regular maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can help preserve the improved contours, skin tone, and reduced cellulite appearance over time.

Contraindications

Individuals being treated for serious conditions such as cancer, liver or kidney disease, or circulation disorders should consult with their doctor before undergoing VelaShape III. VelaShape 3 is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a VelaShape 3 Treatment?

VelaShape is a non-invasive body contouring treatment designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite, firm the skin, and improve body contours. It combines infrared light, bipolar radiofrequency (RF), and gentle suction. These technologies work together to heat the skin’s deeper layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, and promoting lymphatic drainage while reducing fat cell size. The treatment is safe for all skin types and is typically used on areas like the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, arms, neck, and flanks. Sessions last about 30-45 minutes, with no downtime required.

Does VelaShape 3 really Work?

Yes, VelaShape has been shown to work for many individuals, regardless of skin type. It helps reduce the appearance of cellulite, firm the skin, and improve body contours by using a combination of infrared light, radiofrequency (RF), and gentle suction to stimulate collagen and elastin production while targeting fat deposits. Results vary from person to person, but many see improvements after a few sessions, with continued enhancement as collagen production increases. Regular maintenance treatments may be needed to sustain results over time.

What Are the Benefits of VelaShape Treatment?

VelaShape offers several key benefits for individuals looking to improve their body contours and skin appearance. These include:

Cellulite reduction: The treatment effectively diminishes the appearance of cellulite, leading to smoother skin.
Circumferential reduction: It helps reduce the circumference of targeted areas, resulting in a more toned appearance.
Skin tightening: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, VelaShape improves skin firmness and texture.
Non-invasive with no downtime: VelaShape is a non-surgical procedure, allowing you to return to daily activities immediately after treatment.
Comfortable experience: Patients often describe the sensation as a warm, deep tissue massage, making the sessions comfortable and relaxing.

Is VelaShape Safe?

Yes, VelaShape is a safe, FDA-approved and Health Canada-approved non-invasive treatment for reducing cellulite and contouring the body. It is suitable for all skin types and has minimal side effects, usually limited to mild redness or warmth in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few hours.

Is VelaShape Painful?

VelaShape treatments are generally well-tolerated and considered comfortable by most patients. The procedure feels like a warm deep-tissue massage, with the heating and suction sensations being quite mild. Some patients may experience slight warmth or redness afterward, which fades quickly.

How Does VelaShape Compare to Other Body Contouring treatments?

VelaShape stands out due to its unique combination of infrared light, bipolar radiofrequency energy, and gentle suction, which target both the skin’s surface and deeper layers. This technology is effective for cellulite reduction, circumferential reduction, and skin tightening, with no downtime, unlike more invasive procedures.

Can VelaShape Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Yes, VelaShape can complement other body contouring or skin tightening treatments, such as CoolSculpting or microneedling. However, your provider will guide you on the best treatment plan depending on your goals and skin condition.

How Long Do VelaShape 3 Results Last?

VelaShape results can last for several months, but maintenance is often recommended to prolong them. After completing the initial series of treatments, results typically last around 6 to 12 months, depending on factors like lifestyle, body composition, and skin condition. Regular maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months can help preserve the improved contours and reduce the reappearance of cellulite.

Can Vela Shape III Help with Post-Pregnancy Body Contouring?

Yes, VelaShape III is an excellent option for women seeking to improve their body contours after pregnancy. Post-pregnancy changes, such as loose skin, cellulite, and stubborn fat deposits, are common concerns that VelaShape III can target. This non-invasive treatment combines infrared light, bi-polar radiofrequency energy, gentle suction, and massage rollers to tighten the skin, reduce cellulite, and improve overall body shape, helping you regain confidence in your post-pregnancy body.

How Soon After Pregnancy Can I start VelaShape Treatments?

It's recommended to wait until your body has recovered from childbirth, typically about 3-6 months postpartum, depending on your individual circumstances. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any aesthetic treatments, especially if you’re breastfeeding.

What Are the Side Effects of VelaShape?

VelaShape has minimal side effects. Some patients may experience mild redness, warmth, or a pinkish appearance in the treated area, which typically fades within a few hours. In rare cases, slight swelling or temporary skin sensitivity may occur, but these effects are usually short-lived.
