I had a total of 6 sessions in March/April 2012 and had my upper arms, inside of my thighs and back of my thighs done. I lost a total of 3" off each arm and 4" off each thigh. Everyone that says the procedure is unbearable, I really believe it depends on the doctor doing the procedure. Mine had extensive experience with the machine, even used it on herself on every area so she could see how it felt. She knew how to use the machine. I'm not saying it didn't hurt a little or wasn't uncomfortable at times but really I felt it was worth it. The doctor should have told you during the consultation that not everyone will see amazing results. It really depends on the elasticity in your skin and your body in general, not to mention I do really believe it depends on the technique the tech uses too. They also should have told you that you would need more than just a couple of treatments to see actual results. I'm actually going back next week April 2013 to buy another package to have my stomach and love handles done.

did you have to accompany the procedure with diet and excercise or did you carry on like normal? also how long did it take to lose those inches? how many sessions did you have before losing those inches? Thanks!

At the time I was already exercising at the gym at least 3 times a week for 1.5 hours each time (cardio and strength training). I just continued that regimen during the treatments. I noticed inches lost by the 3rd treatment. I had a total of 8 treatments, one a week. So I started noticing a difference by the third week.

Inspiring! Thanks for your helpful post and information! Might have to go through with it next!

I strongly suggest that you so some research on the places that offer it and make sure the staff know what they are doing. I also recommend following their directions to the T if you want to get the best results and as always exercising and drinking plenty of water will only help the process. Good luck!

You look great! Could you show some photos of your upper arms ....I was thinking of doing that area too. Also, how much money should one expect to pay for 6 sessions? I know every doctor is different, but perhaps just a ballpark figure? Thanks so much!

I'm sorry I'm just now seeing your message. I do not have any before/after photos of my arms, for some reason I did not take any. I do plan to do some follow up treatments on my arms so I will take before/after pics and post them at that time.

Was it VelaShape II or III? I'm are considering getting III. I has a consult yesterday and the cost is $2700 for 6 visits, whole thigh and buttocks. I feel that is a bit pricey. But if I get the results I'm looking for, I think it would be worth it. It's a lot of money to me, so I'm having a hard time deciding.

you can buy a lot cheaper package through groupon
don't spend 2700$. it's too much for this kind of procedure.
