Will Velashape definitely make me lose weight?

Question

I'm interested in using Velashape to get rid of the cellulite. I'm 21 years old and weigh 130 pounds. I'm very happy with the shape and weight of my body but would like to tone and get rid of the cellulite on my thighs and butt for the summer. I do not want to lose any weight though that is why I am hesitant.

VelaShape is meant to improve your contours modestly but is not a substituted for diet and exercise. It certainly does not guarantee weight loss.

Velashape is a machine that is meant to reduce some superficial fat cells.  It is not a substitute for liposuction or weight loss.  Nor does it correct your cellulite.  Unfortunately, there is very little you can do for cellulite that lasts any reasonable amount of time.  Most cellulite treatments create some temporary improvement but the results are not long lasting.  I would save your money.

Velashape is not a machine that will make you lose weight. its a skin tightening machine that temporarily makes your cellulite look better. once you stop doing it, the cellulite will recur.

Velashape III uses both IR and RF treatments and is used to shape (RF) and treat cellulite (IR). The RF component at levels 1-3 shrinks fat cells and is used for trimming and local fat reduction. Infrared (IR) at levels 1-3 is used for cellulite reduction by tightening the skin. Six to 12 treatments are necessary to achieve the desired effect. Since weight is not a primary concern, you can have Velashape III to achieve the desired cellulite reduction on your buttocks and thighs. A picture would have been helpful for better guidance.
