Will Vela Shape make your cellulite worse if you don't use it all the time?

Question

For the past two summers I have had about 8-10 rounds of Vela Shape. When I am getting it done I love it, and I see about 75% improvement of my cellulite on my thighs (front and back). However when I take a break during winter, I feel like my cellulite is worse, much worse than from when I first started Vela Shape. Why would this be happening? I am still going about my same routine of eating healthy and working out. Could Vela Shape make my cellulite worse in the long run?

Thank you for your question. Vela Sahpe will not make you worse, it is only a TEMPORARY improvement, and will return to your precious status.  Be sure to check your weight before and after the time period.  Many factors affect your cellulite from genetic, smoking, diet and exercise, etc.  Velashape is only part of the equation. I hope this helps!

No, VelaShape does not worsen the appearance of cellulite.  If Velashape is not maintained or if  eating habits regress  and exercise habits
change or worsen, then cellulite will return faster than usual

The VelaShape continue to improve your recurrence when used according to the recommendations by your health care provider. However once he stopped VelaShape you will slowly return towards your pretreatment condition but should not be any worse than when you started.

We have not seen this in the patients we have treated with Velashape. Meaning, patients who have had this treatments have not returned and said that they have recurrence of the cellulite after treatments were dicontinued. You should see the treating physicians as they may have an insight into what is happening to you.Our experience also is similar to what haas been seen clinically in many practices in the U.S. that perform a large number of these procedures.

Great question! I recommend learning more about
the V-Shape laser; this laser will simultaneously tighten the skin while
improving its texture. It is best to consult with your surgeon to decide with
laser is best for you. Good luck!
