Velashape III

Women have an 85 to 98 percent chance of developing cellulite at some point in their lives. Although this is completely normal – and, as you might have guessed, common – it is a cause of concern for most women. Now, the most innovative treatment for reducing the appearance of cellulite is at Aesthetic Anti-Aging Center in Macon, GA: the VelaShape III.

What Is VelaShape III?

This non-invasive system is designed to deliver precise heat energy to improve cellulite on the thighs, buttocks, and hips. But this machine is more than one-dimensional. It also tightens loose skin and contours those areas patients commonly describe as “trouble spots,” including:

Buttocks
Thighs
Abdomen
Flanks
Back/bra bulge
Arms
Under the chin

Multi-Faceted Treatment

Unlike most systems, which employ just one method of treatment, this machine uniquely combines four modalities to provide optimal results: infrared (IR) light to deliver heat to superficial tissues, bi-polar radio frequency (RF) to heat deeper tissues, vacuum to ensure targeted energy delivery, and massage.

This provides a broader treatment that goes beyond simply heating fat cells and waiting for them to die. Instead, the third generation VelaShape also targets connective tissues and underlying fibers for more visible results and an improved patient experience.

How It Works

The goal of VelaShape is to achieve deep heat penetration in the treatment area. In this way, the treatment works with the body’s natural processes to stimulate blood flow, lymphatic drainage, cellular metabolism, and collagen production. Cumulatively, these changes lead to a reduction in the treatment area’s size and improved skin quality and structure.

Blood Flow

When your body suffers from poor circulation, vital nutrients cannot reach skin cells. This causes clumping, which only compounds the appearance of cellulite. But a strong blood flow keeps cells healthy, which in turn keeps skin strong, elastic, and free of dimpling.

Lymphatic Drainage

Drainage helps eliminate toxins that build between cells. It also works to improve circulation, which as we said earlier, helps fight cellulite.

Cellular Metabolism

It’s no surprise that a slower metabolism contributes to cellulite. This only seems normal, as it also helps store fat in the body. By naturally speeding up metabolism, we can improve fat pockets and reduce cellulite, both of which go a long way toward restoring your youthful contours.

Collagen Production

Most people don’t associate collagen production with a tighter, trimmer body. But the truth is that collagen helps restore elasticity to the skin. In this way, it does help tighten skin and also provides a softer, smoother appearance.

Who Is This Right for?

The VelaShape is ideal for any patient who wants to diminish cellulite and reduce the size of fat cells. In other words, anyone looking to smooth, tone, and tighten those frustrating trouble spots that cannot be targeted with diet and exercise. If you’ve ever wondered why this is, it’s because you cannot spot treat fat. That is, until now.

Quick Results

Thanks to its multi-faceted approach, VelaShape can sculpt your body after just one session. Three appointments are generally recommended for the best results, scheduled in two-week intervals. After that, we can develop a plan of maintenance to ensure you continue enjoying the smoother, more refined you.
