Don't Do It!!!!! Velashape Does NOT Work! - Kissimmee, FL

I thought I was getting a terrific deal - $1200...

I thought I was getting a terrific deal - $1200 for 4 treatments that would rid me of the ugly cellulite on the front and back of my thighs. Boy was I wrong! First of all it gets HOT and I mean to the point of tears! I thought I would have burns all over but I didn't - but it even hurt for a bit afterwards as well. It did absoutely nothing for my cellulite...in fact I think it made it worse! I spoke with the office manager who just loved me to pieces before I bought the package and promised me this would work and she said that I probably needed 2-4 more treatments and she claimed in her sales pitch she would give me an incredible deal if I made the purchase within 4 houes it would only cost me $250 per treatment. I realized I had been robbed. Not only did the manager treat me like her best friend during the consult and the first treatment but she treated me like a complete stranger during the 2nd thru 4th treatment. What a bummer and a lot of pain to go through - oh, and pain in my pocketbook too. I feel incredibly guilty for waisting my wonderful husbands hard earned money. :0(

Great review?

There was no doctor! It was an office manager and a paremedical aesthetician! No doctor was ever present nor mentioned!

wow, that sounds they work like a scam... Buy now - or you won't get this deal again, buy only 4 treatments - it will be enough to get a great result... then they think you would need 4 treatments more with such discount that you need to invest $1000 more...the prices are crazy for discounts... I feel sorry that you got no result and spent money that you could use for something enjoyable...
I am thinking if to buy a deal $79 Can for 3 sessions (30 min)... and if to buy 5 vouchers or 3... or none... 4 treatments with no results are not encouraging....

Awe, don't feel guilty. You were doing a procedure you expected to see results from. Its completely understandable why you would be so disappointed, but don't put guilt on yourself. At least you are doing as much good as you can with it now by sharing your experience so others can learn from it. :)
