Is Velashape 3 a lot more effective than 2?

Question

Is velashape 3 a lot more effective than 2? I can't waste anymore money on something that barely works. No cellfina or cellulaze in Ireland yet

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

Velashape 2 and Velashape 3 are in reference to the machine models. We currently have Velashape 3 which is the newer model. My office  recommends three different procedures incorporating it: ThermiSmooth, VelaShape #3, and Cellfina or Cellifina Platinum.  The #Velahape 3 is totally redesigned and has three components including infrared, RF and massage to stretch and break up cellulite  bands.
Cellulite is extremely common. An estimated 100 million women in the USA between the ages of 20-54 voice concern about #cellulite. Cellulite is caused by fibrous bands underneath the skin that compress #fat, #diet and #exercise do little to help the appearance of this condition.  Clinical treatments offer the most effective and longest lasting results.  We can now offer improvements that should last at least 2-3 years. 
VelaShape 3 is a non-invasive treatment combining #massage rollers, a vacuum to elevate the target# tissue, infrared lights to heat the target tissue, and bi-polar radio frequencies which guide the heat; all together helping to reduce the appearance of cellulite. I suggest over six sessions, one week apart.  The combination of these technologies causes the connective tissue under the skin to heat up, stimulating collagen growth, #improving cellulite and skin elasticity.  #VelaShape 3 may also be used for eliminating fat cells around the stomach and thighs.

If you've had unsatisfactory results with previous model Velashapes, I would strongly suggest that you not pursue additional treatments with Velashape no matter which model. Please consult a qualified physician for consultation regarding your cosmetic goals and not procedures or technologies. If you see no doctor or it feels like you are being sold treatments, RUN. Unfortunately cosmetic medicine is replete with con artists and ineffective machines which will never achieve what they promise. There is no substitute for a skilled, experienced and board certified physician specializing in cosmetic medicine.
