Dennis Gross, MD · Answer

VelaShape is a non-invasive laser procedure that uses Radiofrequency and Infrared Light Energy to shrink fat cells and tighten the skin. It is the only FDA cleared device that effectively and safely contours, shapes and slims the body by reducing cellulite and firming problem areas within 4 treatments. Whereas UltraShape is the first and only FDA cleared, non-invasive body shaping device that uses pulsed, focused ultrasound to mechanically (non-thermally) and selectively destroy fat cells at a designated focal point in the subcutaneous fat tissue without harming the skin, blood vessels, nerves or connective tissue, demonstrating measurable results in as little as 2 weeks. This unique technology answers the growing patient demand for a non-invasive body shaping solution that offers no downtime and without the complications associated with surgery.

Craig Mezrow, MS, MD, FACS · Answer

UltraShape uses non-thermal, pulsed, focused ultrasound to selectively destroy fat.  It does not alter the skin.  VelaShape III uses infrared light and radio frequency to improve skin tone, reduce cellulite and reduce fat.  For optimal noninvasive body contouring we perform VelaShapeIII and UltraShape together.

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

Thank
you for your question. VelaShape and UltraShape are two different non-invasive
technologies for body contouring. VelaShape is radio frequency primarily used
for skin tightening where as UltraShape is for the removal of stubborn, diet
and exercise resistant fat deposits. These treatments can actually be performed
in conjunction with each other for optimal body contouring results.
