VelaShape results last 3-4 months

After completing a series of VelaShape treatments it depends how determined you are to maintain the results. Changing your diet, exercising regularly, and drinking plenty of water can help your results last longer. It is recommended to have an individual treatment once every 3 months for maintenance. If you are looking for more permanent results, you should consider a cellulite Thermage treatment (whose results last for up to 18 months) or surgery.

There is no permanent cellulite treatment, but VelaShape does work!

You are right that VelaShape treatments are not permanent--there is, in fact, no permanent cellulite reduction treatment.  VelaShape treatments are meant to be long-lasting (3-4 months) and maintainable.  Complete the initial series of treatments to get great results, but plan to do maintenance treatments to keep those results.  You can figure about 1-2 maintenance treatments every 2-3 months will be needed to maintain your results.
