I'm wondering if my practitioner is giving me enough time with Velashape for my treatments to be effective?

Question

I'm just finished my 3rd of 6 tmts of Velashape today. I am treating the back of both thighs and buttocks. I'm concerned the practitioner is not giving each section enough time with the machine to be effective. My tmt today was 22 mins for all 4 areas, as were the 1st 2. When asked, she told me that tmts weren't time based, but heat based and that each section was done when my skin reached the target heat temp (which was 110 degrees on my thighs today, according to her). Does this sound right?

Thanks for your question.  Unfortunately, I think that you are wasting your money.  There are so many devices making so many claims, we can't keep track.  I did what I recommend any potential patient should do when researching a treatment.  Google "Veleshape FDA approval" then search for "temporary" or "permanent"...Device Name: VelaShape
Indications for Use:
The VelaShape is indicated for the relief of minor muscle aches and pain, relief of muscle spasm, temporary improvement of local blood circulation, temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite, and for temporary reduction of thighs circumferences. I bet they didn't mention that you are only paying for temporary results...
