Question

Is Ultrashape better than Velashape?

I don't know if I should get UltraShape or VelaShape.  I am looking for a liposuction alternative that will help reduce my fat and cellulite, especially in my tush and thigh region.  Which one is better?

UltraShape & VelaShape - different but complementary technologies

UltraShape

Ultrashape causes destruction of fat cells into triglycerides and glycerol. The glycerol is excreted and the triglycerides are then transported to the liver. if you are exercising adequately, then chances are you will burn the triglycerides.

Ultrashape allows for loss of volume of fat. I typically use it for those clients who have been doing everything right and can not get rid of the persistent amounts of fat in the abdomen area, the inner thigh area, or the buttock area.

VelaShape

Velashape is purely for reduction of cellulite. Incidentally some clients see a reduction in size of their thighs, but it does not work all the time. For cellulite, I use Velashape.

My typical patient is one who has both the need for volume reduction and the smoothing of the thighs. Therefore, we have to combine Ultrashape first, and then use the Velashape.

I find these technologies complementary.
