Thank you for your question. 

"VelaShape is a noninvasive body contouring treatment that’s been cleared by the FDA for temporary cellulite reduction, as well as the circumferential reduction of the thighs and abdomen. The most commonly treated areas are the thighs, buttocks, upper arms, and stomach. It can also reduce excess fat and sagging under the chin.

Unlike most cellulite treatments that use one modality to treat the appearance of dimpled skin, VelaShape uses a combination of four: infrared light, bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy, massage, and gentle suction." 

We have many patients who are very happy with the VelaShape treatments. VelaShape also 

stimulates collagen and elastin production or tighten skin.

Juvederm Voluma adds volume to the center of your face where we lose it most. It creates incredible lift which opens up your eyes, softens sagging jowls, and lessens nasal folds. Juvederm helps to complete the look by softening all of your lines. The results last up to TWO YEARS!

During your complimentary consultation, our experienced medical professionals will design a treatment plan depending upon your concerns and expectations. 

We have a Velashape II for several years and we have so many happy patients. The science of  each generation VelaShape is the same, so does the result. The newest VelaShape machine added several technician friendly factors, such as a smaller handle, an automatic temperature monitor….

We have been offering Velashape for treating cellulite for almost 10 years now and have had so many happy patients. 

At our office, we have a detailed protocols for VelaShape treatment in order to help our patients get the best results. We also select the best candidates depending upon their Body Composition results which we offer for free during their consultation. 

For some patients, after their consultation, we also recommend a combination of Verju and VelaShape treatments. 

In one word, as with everything, success depends on several factors. We believe as long as you find the right treatment, it will work. 

Good luck!

Thank you for your question. 

VelaShape, a powerful combination of infrared light, bipolar radiofrequency, and mechanical massage, heats and shrinks fat cells and surrounding tissues to reduce the appearance of cellulite in both women and men. It smooths lumps and dimples on the surface of thighs, arms, stomach, love handles, and buttocks – trouble spots that diet and exercise often can’t reach.

VelaShape also stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin, which tightens the skin. The end result? A toned, contoured, and shapely body that makes you look and feel slimmer and more youthful.

Depending upon the cellulite grade and area, er usually advise our patients to schedule their treatments every 48 hours. In this way, their body have enough time to get rid of the waste. 

The Verjú low-level laser system utilizes green diodes to target fat cells. Six low-level lasers are placed over the treatment area and energy from the lasers liquifies the fat within the cells. The cells eventually release the liquefied fat, which is naturally eliminated from the body.


As the non-invasive body contouring treatments, Verju & VelaShape are a great combination for you to reduce stubborn area fat and contour your body shape without any down time.
