Does Velashape Work?

I have no personal experience with these devices, but purchasing any device for many $1000's corrupts your objectivity as a clinician.  Manufacturers are adept at convincing doctors to embrace new technology with the following pitch: 1. It's the greatest thing ever (TGTE) 2. It didn't work? Change your treatment settings and you'll see it's TGTE 3. You need to combine treatments with our other great device, and then you'll see it's TGTE 4. Your machine is now two years old- you should buy our brand new machine that is truly TGTE.

If your MD is caught in this cycle, it is very difficult to escape.

Velashape3 is a great procedure for the temporary reduction of cellulite. The technology uses radiofrequency and heat to help tighten the skin. I also recommend the treatments for every patient after liposuction.

The Velashape III does work and is the only non-invasive body shaping machine to combine four different technologies including IR (infrared), Bi-Polar RF (radio-frequency) and mechanical tissue manipulation using pulsed vacuum and massage rollers. The combination of the IR and vacuum coupled RF technologies causes deep heating of the connective tissue, which in return stimulates collagen. With the a series of six treatments, one week apart we have seen significant improvements in cellulite and skin elasticity. #VelashapeIII

We have been using Velashape for treating cellulite for almost 10 years now and have had so much success with it that we have upgraded to the Vela III.As with everything, success depends on several factors:  was the client appropriately selected?  Was the appropriate number of treatments performed?  Were the treatments performed by an experienced practitioner?  Did the client follow proper diet, exercise and aftercare?  Did the client maintain their improvements after the treatments were done?No treatment is perfect and it takes good communication between patient and practitioner for best results.  This is just as true for Velashape as for anything else, which is why we emphasize all aspects of the treatment so that our clients achieve desired results - and maintain them!  In our experience, when clients are appropriately selected, they can get great results.Good luck!

Thank You for your questions. There are different degrees of cellulite. Type I,II, III. Type III  is the most severe. Velashape will improve the appearance of all 3 types. However, there is no cure for cellulite. Velashape treatments are maintenance treatments!!! Type 3 will require more treatments than type I... It will definitely look better depending on the time and number of maintenance treatments you have .
