The start of a New Year is typically accompanied by goals of getting in to shape. If gym memberships aren't your thing, you might want to speed things up with a popular treatment called VelaShape™.
What is VelaShape™?
VelaShape™ is the "only FDA cleared device that safely and effectively shapes and slims the body by reducing cellulite and firming problem areas in as little as 4 treatments." You may have seen it on shows like Keeping up with the Kardashians, Dr. Phil, Rachel Ray and various showns on the E! Network.
How does it work?
A technician uses a device with a revolutionary elos™ combination of Bi-Polar Radiofrequency, Infrared Light Frequency, plus Vacuum and Mechanical Massage. The heat energy gets delivered into the skin efficiently with the help of the rollers (which help to smooth out the skin). The end goal is to "increase the metabolism of stored energy, increase lymphatic drainage, and reduce or shrink the size of the actual fat cells and fat chambers."
Most people say it feels like a deep tissue massage with the addition of heat. While you may see a bit of an improvement after 1 treatment, you probably won't see the final results until 6-8 weeks after the last session.
Is there any down time?
Your skin may feel a bit tight with a heat sensation for a few hours, but otherwise you shouls be able to go about your day! There may also be some redness after your sessions, but nothing compared to surgical alternatives.
Where can I get VelaShape™ treatments in Dallas?
Here are a few notable medical spas offering VelaShape™:
- Skin MD and Beyond, Plano
- Dallas Medical Spa, Dallas
- American Laser Centers, Dallas, Arlington, Plano, Colleyville, Ft. Worth
- Serena Med Spa, Dallas
Although this is an FDA-approved treatment, speak with your doctor before committing to treatments. Medical spas almost always offer free consultations, so be sure to go with a list of questions. Of course, this shouldn't be looked at as an alternative to diet and excerise! Eat well, stay in shape, and VelaShape™ can help give you results you couldn't get otherwise.
