My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a yr and 1/2. I have put several things on hold hoping to get pregnant. It is now almost 2 yrs later and wish I would have done these. I am considering Velashape, but also am going to start taking another set of hormones to hopefully conceive. Is Velashape ok while doing this as long as I am not currently pregnant? Also, could these treatments effect my fertility?
Although there is no direct evidence that there would be any affect from Velashape on your fertility, you certainly should not have the treatment if you have been trying so hard for almost 2 years to have a child. The hormones might affect the condition of your fluid content and fat distribution so it would be best to have the Velashape when you are not pregnant and not on treatment to help coneption.

This depends on your skin type, the area being treated and the degree of correction needed.
It would be most important to be evaluated first by a physician who performs this procedure regularly as they will have the best idea as to which settings would be most appropriate for you and your goals
Do they die or transform? What happens metabolically? How do treated cells interact with connective structures? Is there a risk of internal scarring or DNA/RNA mutation? I can't find specific info online, only commercial sites referring to loss of cellulite & inches. To put it crudely, it sounds like fat gets 'cooked'.
The bipolar radiofrequency and infrared energies used in Velashape deliver enough heat to "trick" your fat cells into using up stored energy. This results in the cell being smaller in size.
This does not damage or destroy your fat cell
The heat also causes new collagen to develop which results in some nice skin tightening and shaping
