Velashape Machine
The Velashape Machine is a non-invasive treatment that reduces the appearance of cellulite. It uses bipolar radio frequency and infrared light to heat fat cells and improve the skin’s appearance.
The device also stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin to firm and tighten the skin. Patients report that the treatment feels like a warm deep-tissue massage, and some experience redness afterward.
The Syneron Candela VelaShape III
VelaShape III is the newest addition to the Syneron Candela line of cosmetic laser machines, which are used for body contouring and cellulite reduction. This med spa treatment provides a non-surgical solution to reducing fat cells and eliminating cellulite, with no downtime or pain involved after the procedure.
This new device offers an improved experience for both the patient and the operator. It has a guide mode that makes it easier to control the machine, which decreases operator fatigue and increases motivation. This device also has a touchscreen interface that allows patients to control the procedure with ease.
Featuring the revolutionary elos technology, this laser is designed to reduce cellulite and improve the appearance of the skin through a combination of radio frequency and infrared light energy. It uses a vacuum to ensure that the energy is delivered directly into the skin and tissue. This results in deep heating of the fat cells, which stimulates fresh production of collagen and elastin fibers.
The device also has a heat-sensing technology that monitors the skin impedance every millisecond, and the power to deliver energy based on these readings. This means that the device can reach its maximum temperature faster and more consistently than the previous model. This results in shorter treatment sessions and better overall treatment outcomes.
This technology is backed by an extensive clinical database that includes more than a dozen studies and 3.5 million treatments globally. Its powerful and effective technology has helped make it the most popular, proven, and recognized non-invasive body shaping treatment on the market today.
It can help to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite, especially on the thighs and abdomen, which are areas that many women have trouble with. It also helps to treat minor muscle pain and increase blood flow, all without downtime or discomfort.
Using IR and bi-polar radio frequency technologies, the device generates deep heat in the connective tissue that is targeted. This causes the collagen and elastin fibers to contract and become more elastic.
These benefits, coupled with mechanical tissue manipulation with pulse vacuum and massage rollers, create a more firm, tightened skin structure. This results in a dramatic reduction of cellulite and a more youthful appearance.
The VelaShape II
The VelaShape II is a handheld machine that combines infrared light, bi-polar radiofrequency energy, suction, and mechanical massage to improve the appearance of cellulite. The heat from the infrared light and radio frequency energies increases metabolism of the fatty layer, shrinking fat cells while promoting new collagen formation, which smoothes skin tone.
In addition, vacuum and massage rollers increase circulation to the treatment area, thereby increasing lymph drainage, which promotes cellular regeneration. The underlying dermal collagen fibers also are heated, which stimulates the growth of new and better elastin, which is stronger, firmer, and more elastic.
Because of its deep heating and vacuuming, VelaShape can shrink fat cells without damaging the skin’s surface. The heat also disrupts the fibrous bands of connective tissue that hold fat cells in place, allowing them to be broken down by the RF and suction rollers.
This can lead to some bruising in the treatment area, but it typically subsides within a few hours after the treatment. Aspirin, motrin, and other blood thinners should be stopped a week before your treatment to avoid any unwanted bruising.
The VelaShape II also combines gentle light and radio frequency (elos) energies with mechanical rollers and vacuum suction to manipulate the superficial fat tissue layer that contributes to cellulite. The heat from the light and RF energies increase metabolism of this fatty layer, while the mechanical rollers and vacuum suction increase circulation to the local area, facilitating a smoother, less dimpled surface appearance.
According to Claire Chang, MD, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist at UnionDerm in New York City, the VelaShape II is a great option for those who want to target areas of cellulite and laxity, including the arms, thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. However, she recommends that patients not use the device on areas with a history of keloids, as well as those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
A VelaShape II treatment can reduce circumference and cellulite in as few as four sessions, but most patients see gradual and cumulative results. Maintenance treatments every two to three months are recommended for continued cosmetic results.
The VelaShape IV
VelaShape IV is a non-invasive body contouring procedure. It uses a combination of bi-polar radio frequency energy, infrared light, and vacuum suction to cause deep heating of fat cells, their surrounding connective tissue, and the underlying dermal collagen fibers. The treatment also stimulates new collagen growth to improve skin tone and texture.
VelaShape is a safe and effective way to eliminate cellulite, improve skin laxity and reduce the appearance of stretch marks. It can be used to treat a variety of problem areas, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms and buttocks.
The machine’s handpiece has mechanical rollers that gently smooth the skin and massage the area. This helps to increase blood circulation and stimulates the lymphatic system to remove cellular debris.
Infrared light, bi-polar radio frequency energy and vacuum suction are combined in VelaShape to cause deep heating of the fat cells, their surrounding connective tissue, underlying dermal collagen fibers, and the connective tissues that hold them in place. This heating and mechanical massage causes the re-generation of new collagen, which makes the skin firmer and more elastic.
After the VelaShape treatment, the skin looks tighter, slimmer and more even. It also appears smoother and more youthful.
Unlike other non-invasive body contouring treatments, the Velashape IV doesn’t involve pain or downtime. It is an ideal option for patients with cellulite or circumferential problems, and it can be performed over four to eight sessions spaced one week apart.
The Velashape III uses a combination of infrared light, bi-polar radiofrequency energy and vacuum suction to heat the fatty tissues. Its rollers, which are designed to massage the skin, help increase blood flow and stimulate the lymphatic system.
This is an extremely effective and comfortable cellulite reduction technique that can be done safely by most medical aestheticians. There is no downtime, and results are visible after the first session.
Cellulite is a buildup of fibrous bands of connective tissue that pull the skin down and compress the fat under the skin until it bulges out of the compartments. The fibrous bands are formed in response to hormonal changes.
The VelaShape V
The VelaShape Machine is a non-invasive body contouring device developed by Syneron Candela to treat the areas that many women struggle with. It works to reduce cellulite, decrease the size of fat cells and improve the appearance of the skin. It can be used to treat the thighs, buttocks and abdomen.
The system combines bi-polar radio frequency energy, infrared light and vacuum suction with mechanical massage to heat the tissue of the target area and melt away fat. Its pulsed vacuum suction and mechanical massage rollers help to smooth the skin, increase circulation and lymphatic drainage. The heat energy and the massage trigger the body’s natural process of regenerating new collagen and elastin fibers that are stronger, firmer and more elastic over time.
VelaShape is a safe and effective alternative to liposuction for treating cellulite. It can also be used to reduce circumference of the abdomen, thighs and buttocks and improve the tone and texture of the skin.
During the treatment, the doctor or aesthetician uses a handpiece that is calibrated to the patient’s specific needs before applying a thin layer of gel to the area being treated. Once the gel has been applied, the device is then moved along the targeted area.
Once the device is positioned, it will gently jog down the patient’s skin and will gradually reach the deep layers of the skin where the fat and fatty tissues are located. The handpiece will then apply calculated infrared and radiofrequency energy to the area.
This procedure is painless and requires no downtime. However, there may be a slight pinkish appearance to the skin following the procedure that dissipates in about a week. The patient should avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen or any other blood thinners before the procedure because these can cause excessive bruising in the treated area.
A person who is currently pregnant or breastfeeding should also not receive this treatment, as it could cause a negative effect on the unborn baby. Additionally, patients with implanted pacemakers or defibrillators should not undergo this procedure.
Generally, three treatments are needed to produce noticeable results. During each session, the handpiece will move gently over the targeted area and will slowly heat the fat and fatty tissue below the surface of the skin. The fatty tissue is then melted and released through the pores of the skin, while the body’s natural process of regenerating collagen and elastin strengthens the connective tissue and increases the tone and texture of the skin.
