Radio frequency waves and infrared light breaks down the cell walls of the fatty tissue, at the same time it increases oxygen levels deep down in the tissue. With the addition of roller massage and vacuum the result is an improvement in body shape, Velashape III treatments are ideal for toning, firming and tightening the skin.

Once a week treatments for four or five weeks is required to see the initial results, depending on the condition of your body it may be necessary to schedule several more sessions before you begin to see the anticipated results. Each session lasts anywhere from 20 minutes to one hour, the time is dependent on the area covered. The beauty of non-surgical Velashape III in Florida is there is no down-time, once the session is over you can go right back to whatever your normal activity is.

The procedure is quite simple, the infrared and RF energies are delivered to the correct area of the body using a hand held device. The technician passes the wand over the skin; the device includes rollers and uses a vacuum action as well. The target area is heated, the heat causes the fat cells to shrink and tighten, lymphatic drainage is also increased which results in smoother skin as the “dimpled” skin surface which accompanies cellulite is reduced. Once the treatments have been completed the patient should see a significant improvement of skin tone, the skin will be firmer and tighter.

As the treatment is non-invasive there is no need for anesthesia, some people report that they feel as if they are getting a warm, deep tissue massage. There are no after effects although the area that was treated might appear pink from the heat for a short time, the treated area may continue to feel warm for a few hours but neither the flushed appearance nor the feeling of warmth will have any long lasting effect. As the treatment causes lymphatic drainage there may be an increase in urination, this is normal as the fat cells are being absorbed into the body and expelled naturally.
