Frequently asked Questions

What is the difference between the VelaShape and the new VelaShape II
VelaShape II offers increased power for shorter treatment sessions, reduced number of sessions, and an advanced Clever(TM) terminal, a diagnostic digital user interface to improve both consistency in treatment results and patient comfort.

How does VelaShape II work?
VelaShape II uses combined energies know as elos to precisely target and heat fatty tissues within the treatment area. In addition, the vacuum and tissue manipulation evens out the skin to reveal a smoother, tighter figure.

On what body areas can I be treated for circumference reduction?
With VelaShape II, you can be treated on body areas such as the thighs and buttocks. The two applicators (VSmooth & VContour) on the VelaShape device are designed for large and small body areas; therefore, treatment is safe and effective.

How quickly will I notice a change with VelaShape II?
Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first treatment - with the skin surface of the treated area feeling smoother, firmer and tighter. Results in circumference and cellulite reduction will be most apparent 6-8 weeks following the final treatment session.
