How Many VelaShape® Sessions Will I Need?

Non-invasive body sculpting treatments have become increasingly popular as more people want to target problem areas. VelaShape® III sculpts your figure by tightening the skin and addressing signs of cellulite. This treatment uses three types of energy to provide superior results, increasing skin’s firmness and tone for a more aesthetically pleasing shape. 

What is VelaShape® Body Sculpting?

Some methods of body contouring work by removing fat from targeted areas. However, this may not achieve the desired effect if the missing fat leaves loose skin behind. VelaShape®tightens skin and triggers new collagen formation. At the same time, it can break up the fibrous bands that cause cellulite, smoothing the treated area. VelaShape® is an excellent choice for those who want to lift and firm skin in their problem areas or smooth away cellulite.

How Does VelaShape® Work?

Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics uses VelaShape® III, an advanced treatment that uses three different forms of energy to maximize results. It uses infrared light and radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the skin at precise depths to stimulate new collagen formation. At the same time, vacuum suction lifts the skin closer to the heat energy while providing a massage that breaks up fibrous bands. Popular areas for VelaShape® include the thighs, arms, buttocks, and under the chin. 

How Many VelaShape® Sessions Will I Need?

VelaShape® requires a series of treatments for maximum collagen formation. Most people need three sessions. You can have these treatments a few weeks apart, letting you finish your entire series quickly. Other treatments that cause more skin trauma than VelaShape® usually require four to six weeks or more between sessions. 

How long your VelaShape® results last depends on many factors. Occasional maintenance treatments will keep your treated areas toned and sculpted. Your body sculpting specialist will help you determine the best maintenance schedule for you. 

What is a VelaShape® Treatment Like?

Treatment with VelaShape® takes about 30 minutes, although treating multiple areas will take longer. The same device delivers all three types of energy, so your skin only needs to be treated once during the session. Most people report a minor tugging sensation and some warmth but little to no discomfort. You can leave immediately afterward.

Is There Any Downtime With VelaShape®?

Some people notice that their skin looks red after VelaShape® for several hours. You can return to your usual activities immediately. This lack of downtime lets people fit a VelaShape® treatment into their busy schedules so they can achieve their goals. Your skin requires sun protection after treatment to protect your developing collagen. 

Am I a Good Candidate for VelaShape®?

Non-invasive VelaShape® is safe for all skin types and tones. Good candidates have achievable goals and are in generally good health. The best candidates are at or near their goal weight and want to tighten and tone the target areas. Candidates can see significant improvements in their problem areas. 

VelaShape® is not a weight loss treatment and should not be used with the expectation that you will lose weight. You should not have VelaShape® if you have inflamed, injured, or irritated skin in the treatment area. People with certain medical conditions should also not receive treatment.
