Hello I just received my first velashape treatment today. At first I was extremely nervous as I have researched and read all the negative comments. To tell you about me, I am in my late 30's, african-american, I weigh around 135, exercise every other day, drink lots of water and eat a balanced diet and still I have some cellulite on the back of my thighs and the front, closer to my knee area. I also have stretchmark on my stomach and thighs thanks to my wonderful two children. I knew that this is not the laser for stretchmarks, so I decided to work with the cellulite first, and then do the affirm laser, unless someone has better recommendations. Anyway I went to my consultation, they actually gave me a serious consultation, reviewing skin and all (something they did not do at the Laser Centers). I was very comfortable with them and they answered all questions. So she started the treatment and yes it does get really hot, if you can't take hot temperatures you wont be able to handle this, I did not have a problem, it felt like a really hot massage. I guess I have a high tolerance for pain and heat because it did not bother me. Afterwards, I looked at the back of my thighs and either it's me, or I can definitely see that the cellulite has been reduced, but I have five more treatments to go so I will keep everyone posted.
