What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is the unsightly lumpy, dimpled skin appearance, also known as the 'cottage cheese' or 'orange peel' appearance. Cellulite consists of fat deposits that appear mainly on the hips, thighs and buttocks.
Cellulite is probably one of the most aesthetically troubling concerns of women - it is estimated 80% of women over the age of 20, regardless of their weight or size are affected by cellulite.
What causes Cellulite?
The skin's connective tissue surrounds fat cells, which are arranged in chambers. The margins of these chambers contain septae. Over time, the fat cells increase in size and number. This phenomenon together with accumulation of localized edema, push the skin's surface between the septae in an upward direction. This is what creates the lumpy and dimpled skin appearance, also known as the 'cottage cheese' appearance, associated with cellulite.

Testimonials
Patient Testimonials
"Before I had my son I was a size 6 and now a year later I am a size 10. What surprised me about my post baby-body was my stomach - it won't go away. I tried to lose weight the old fashioned way through diet and exercise. No matter how many crunches I did the stomach flab just won't go away! I wanted to get back into my old clothes again and feel like myself again.
With the VelaShape treatments I definitely think it worked to get rid of the flab and inches on my abdomen area. I feel great! The treatment was amazing! I would definitely recommend VelaShape treatments to my friends. I am smaller than I was before I had the baby!"
-Karen, Beverley Hills, USA
"I work out but it still doesn't tighten up the areas that I am concerned about. With VelaShape, I am able to target these areas. For example, I noticed around the flank area it went down significantly. I was really impressed!
The treatment feels like a massage, so there is no pain.
I absolutely believe it has been worth the $2,000."
-Michelle, California, USA
"The VelaShape treatment feels like a warm massage. It is very comfortable - like a spa treatment.
I am excited with the results of my first treatment and I am looking forward to following through the series of four treatments."
-Maria, New York, USA
"The VelaShape treatment feels like a massage. It's not bad at all. The thigh area feels tighter and toned."
-Diane, Michigan, USA
Physician Testimonials
"In a study conducted in our center looking at the VelaShape™ for body contouring and cellulite reduction, subjects saw visibly noticeable reduction in the circumference of the treated areas as well as improvement in skin tone, texture and tightness. What was most impressive and exciting for patients was that results were seen in 4 or fewer treatments. The majority of patients saw results after just the first two treatments."
-Tess Mauricio, M.D., California, USA
"In my practice, word of mouth has spread fast and many of my patients are asking for VelaShape™ treatments. Patients who came to me for medical issues are now inquiring about the body reshaping treatment. And with the shorter treatment time and visible results, I can satisfy both their medical and aesthetic needs."
-Vince Afsahi, M.D., California, USA
"In only four treatments, most of my patients could see circumferential reduction in all treated areas. In addition, my patients felt their bodies were visibly smoother due to significant cellulite improvement. I could actually see an improvement in my patient's self confidence due to the results they saw from the VelaShape™ treatments."
-Gerald Boey, M.D., British Columbia, Canada
"The VelaShape is in high demand due to the fast and effective results. Clients are seeing results in as few as six sessions. It is amazing, and our clients are very happy."

F.A.Q.
How does VelaShape™ work?
VelaShape™ uses combined energies known as elōs™ 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™, 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?
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.
How many inches can I reduce from my circumference?
In clinical studies, patients report an average reduction of about 1 inch post treatment series. In clinical trials, the range of Circumferential Reduction was between 0.5-3 inches.
How do I improve and maintain the VelaShape™ results?
Following your complete treatment regimen, it is recommended to get maintenance treatments periodically. Like all non-surgical or surgical techniques, results will last longer if you follow a balanced diet and exercise regularly.
Is treatment safe?
FDA found and cleared the device as safe and effective for all skin types and colors. There are no reported short or long-term health effects.

Post treatment skin on treated area could feel tighter. It is normal to have an inner heated sensation for up to a few hours post treatment. In some cases, mild redness can be observed.
