Which is the most effective area to get Velashape III done on?

Question

I've heard it's used for cellulite reduction but I don't have any. Most of the fat in my body (which is moderate) is stored on my upper back, arms, and mid-section.. which I hate. I already have a session booked and trying to decide which area can be treated most effectively.

Hi, 
I think if you are going to use velashape III on your problem areas, you will be disappointed. The Velashape III works best on cellulite. It is not the best at fat reduction although you can get some contouring with it. It is best used on the lower body legs, thighs, buttocks and saddlebags. If you are interested in shrinking your arms, belly and back your best bet are the following:
1. Trusculpt 3D - Uses radiofrequency targeted at fatty layer to kill the fat cells. Results are very smooth and able to use on small or large areas. No down time and not much discomfort. One or two treatments only and a good pricepoint. Plus you might be able to get a discount for doing all three areas at once ( That's what I do). You can expect about a 25% reduction in the number of fat cells in the area treated. 
2. Ilipo or Zerona : Uses a single wavelength of cold laser to trick the fat cells into dumping the contents like a balloon losing air. When the fat cells shrink and flatten so do you. Totally non invasive, can be done on any skin type and is not uncomfortable at all. WIth the zerona, you can treat multiple areas at a session for no additional charge, with the iLipo you have to use it in a targeted way and would need to choose 2 areas to do at one time. Both have good pricepoints, but you have to do between 6-10 sessions to lose inches in any one area and have it be semi permanent (lasts until you put fat back on with lifestyle habits) 
3. Cool sculpt, might work on your back fat, but will be pretty poor choice for the rest. Can result in lumpy chunks taken out of your skin and subsequent contour issues. Pricepoint is similar for one area to the trusculpt 3D. One or 2 sessions to see optimal fat loss or to correct lumpiness. 
Best of luck
