Would Velashape II (6 sesssions) or Velashape III (3 sessions) be better for me? (photos)

Question

I've always been skinny. In the recent years I put on some weight that doesn't bother me, but my stomach has cellulite which I hate. I carry quite healthy eating habits and plan to work out more. I'm torn between these two alternatives: a) 6 x 30 minute sessions of Velashape II or b) 3 x 1 hour sessions of Velashape III. So it's double the amount of sessions for II and still a bit cheaper (duration is shorter). I am also aware I might need more sessions, but what should I start with?

Hello!
Velashape uses heat, massage, LED light, and radiofrequency to reduce cellulite. I would recommend more sessions that are shorter in time, therefore 6 sessions of 30 mins each; increasing the number of sessions to maintain results that last!

Hi, 
This is a great question. I have had velashape, velashape 2 and velashape 3 in my office over the last 20 years. First of all I would never do an hour of velashape 3 on your tummy. Totally unnecessary. If anything 30 min max. If I had to use velashape I would use the 3 for sure. The 2 is not as good as the 3 for everything you would use if for, but in any event the protocol would be the same amount of time, the 3 would just get you the results quicker. 
So if this was our choice at my office I would do 6 30 min velashape 3 on you over 6 weeks or so. You could probably get away with 10 30 min velashape 2 done over 10 weeks or so (so you can do the math for what is a better deal) and get about the same results. 
Personally, I would look into these other technologies for other options : Thermismooth 250, emsculpt, and carboxy therapy. 
I hope this helps to save you some time and money
All the best
