Can Velashape Cause Bleeding Disorder?

Question

Over several treatments in various body parts, can Velashape cause my menstrual cycle to be all over the place cause me to get my period every 2 weeks? I have had 8-9 treatments on my buttocks and upper tight (under the but) and 5 treatments on my lower ads. And been noticing iam getting my period every other week now..for a full 7 days. I was wondering if this can be due to the fatty issue my body is trying to release to my valeshape treatment.

Your observation is not likely to be related to Velashape III treatment. It has not been observed emperically in the thousands of patients that have been treated with this procedure. It is important for you to be examined by your GYN doctor to make sure nothing else is going on with your uterine and/or ovarian physiology.

I have been doing Vela treatments in my office for years, and was an original part of the machine's FDA study. I have never seen anything like this, as the Vela treatment head does not penetrate deep enough into the skin to affect your organs. It only targets the top layers of skin, fat, and cellulite. I would imagine that something else, change in medication, diet, even exercise, would be causing the change in your menstrual cycles, not the Vela treatments.
