How permanent are the results of Velashape? Does this treatment permanently destroy fat cells?

Thank you for your question.Velashape III has 4 treatment modalities including radiofrequency energy (RF), infrared energy (IR), vacuum and external massage.We recommend treatment every 2 weeks and a minimum of 3 treatments. Patients typically get 6-12 treatments and are very happy with the results.RF shrinks and destroys the fat cells. Superficial heating with infrared technology treats cellulit. Massage is used for relaxation of tissue which releases the fibrous bands that cause cellulite. Treatment for cellulite requires more than 3 sessions in general. Call for an appointment to see if you are a candidate for Velashape III. 

Velashape
uses 4 modalities: Bi-Polar Radiofrequency, Infrared Light Energy, plus Vacuum
and Mechanical Massage. The Vacuum with specially designed rollers for the
Mechanical Massage smooth out the skin and the combination of Bi-Polar
Radiofrequency and Infrared Light energy causes precise heating to ensure a
safe, effective, fast treatment that increases metabolism of stored energy,
increases lymphatic drainage and reduces the size of the actual fat cells and
fat chambers. Velashape gives best result in a series of 6 treatments done once
a week. Results can be maintained with a healthy diet and lifestyle. Consult
with a Board Certified Dermatologist to see if this treatment is best for you.
