How long after Coolsculpting on banana rolls should I wait to do VelaShape on back of legs for cellulite?

Loving1366Feb 25, 2019
I’m 5’7”, 140lbs, I’ve always had cellulite on the back of my thighs and a little pouch of fat just below my butt. I recently did VelaShape iii on the back of my legs and saw great results on the cellulite. I’m so thrilled by the prospect that I could have nice legs, that I’m doing CoolSculpting on the banana rolls. Can I continue to do VelaShape to keep the cellulite from returning? Or could it be harmful to do VelaShape over/near the frozen fat cells before they’re flushed out?

It is not unusual to have pain after the velashape treatment. It may be due to dehydration and skin tightening. Therefore, it is recommended to hydrate after the velashape and moisturize the area that has been treated.
