The VelaShape II technology makes use of infrared light, bi-polar radio frequency energy, and a pulsed vacuum to deeply heat fat cells in the target area of the body. The surrounding connective tissue and underlying dermal collagen fibers are also heated. A multi-function mechanism is then utilized for mechanical tissue manipulation. This enables precise targeting of energy to the tissue, which also promotes vasodilation and diffuses oxygen. The process stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin leading to a visible reduction in skin laxity and body volume. Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first treatment – with the skin surface of the treated area feeling smoother. Results in Circumference and Fat Reduction will be most apparent 6-8 weeks following the final treatment session. The procedure is very safe, simple, and effective. We will happily answer any of your questions during a consultation. If you have questions about any of our other Fat treatment options, we can answer those too!
