How VelaShape works
The secret behind VelaShape is Elos - the revolutionary technology that combines four powerful energies:
Bi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF)
Infrared Light energies
Negative pressure (vacuum)
Tissue manipulation (mechanical massage)
Due to TGA rules, we are unable to describe the therapeutic effect in detail, however we will explain the process in full at a complimentary consultation.
Clinically supported results
The results of recent clinical studies using VelaShape II technology shows: Improvement in shape and contour
Treatments impact and remodel the targeted subcutaneous fat layer. Fat cells showed alteration in physical integrity with various forms of cell membrane rupture and/or reduction of fat tissue mass in treated areas (observed through biopsy studies).
Improvement in skin tone and smoothness
Average improvement for all patients on the appearance of cellulite was 65% reduction.
Clinical improvement averaging 50% reduction in cellulite appearance.
Patient based assessment of cellulite and skin texture was 62% improvement and blinded doctor based evaluation of improvement was 40%.
50% of the subjects experienced significant visual improvement in cellulite and skin texture greater than 51%.
All patients reported skin contraction as a result of the treatment.
Skin and cellulite appearance continued to improve in 37.5% of subjects up to 8 weeks after the last treatment.
Patient assessment of improvement was an average of 75% improvements at 3 months post treatment (62% by physicians) and 50% improvement at 6 months post treatment (50% by physicians), with no maintenance.
Significant improvement in skin laxity and tightening was noted by both the physician and patients.
What to expect during your VelaShape treatment
A lubricating spray is applied prior to treatment and you'll feel a deep, soothing heat in the targeted area. No body stockings or suits are required.
Clients have compared the feeling of the treatment to the sensation of an intense workout or a deep tissue massage. Some individuals find the treatment so relaxing they drift to sleep. If you experience discomfort we can reduce the settings to your level of tolerance (however the higher the settings the more effective the treatment will be).
Aside from a hot sensation, some people experience a temporary redness in the treatment area. Some bruising may occur; this will be reabsorbed by the body in a few days. You may resume your normal daily activities immediately after the session, even sports activities. Most clients go straight back to work or straight to the gym. The treatments does not involve sweating, so you will not need a shower afterwards.
Clients may notice a slight temporary increase in urine output following treatment. At least 2 and up to 4 litres of water per day is strongly recommended.
