Is Velashape Effective For Cellulite Reduction

If you’re looking for a non-invasive procedure that will shape and slim problem areas like the buttocks, thighs, love handles and abdomen and combat unsightly cellulite and fat deposits, Velashape may be your choice. 
This non-surgical, non-invasive velashape treatment for cellulite has three components, which together have been shown to be effective in tightening and smoothing skin: radiofrequency energy (RF), infrared light energy, and mechanical vacuum massage.
Heat generated by Velashape shrinks the overinflated fat cells that cause cellulite, creating a smoother appearance and contouring the body’s problem areas like the buttocks, abdomen, hips and thighs. Those are the cells, of course, that form cellulite, so as they shrink, so do the unwanted pockets of cellulite, improving the skin’s contour. While Velashape’s heat works on reducing the fat cells, the device’s mechanical rollers manipulate and smooth out the skin. In addition to minimizing cellulite dimpling, VelaShape reduces the circumference of the treated thighs-by an average of about an inch, according to studies.
Velashape is a non-surgical treatment that requires absolutely no downtime so you can resume your normal daily activities, including exercise, immediately. Most clients find velashape treatments quite comfortable, like a warm deep tissue massage, and report no side effects aside from some minor soreness a day or two after the procedure, similar to the soreness one feels after exercise. 
Velashape even works on smaller areas like your knees and arms, making it one of the most versatile cellulite-reducing procedures on the market and an ideal solution for treating problem areas that may be resistant to other treatment options.
Cellulite is a very common condition, especially among women. Women are basically genetically and hormonally predisposed to cellulite. Smoking makes it worse. Lack of exercise and poor diet (fatty food and little drinking) may enhance the phenomenon.For many people, no matter how healthy they are, or how often and how intensely they exercise, they are unable to reduce or eliminate the appearance of cellulite. 
The Nurnberger-Muller cellulite classification scale:
Stage 1 - no dimpling while the patient is standing or lying down, but the pinch test reveals the "orange peel" appearance.
Stage 2 - "orange peel" dimpling appears spontaneously when standing up, but not when lying down.
Stage 3 - "orange peel" dimpling appears spontaneously both when standing up and lying down.
The ideal vela shape patient is someone with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of less than 30 who falls under Cellulite Classification Levels 1 and 2. 
Of course, all cellulite treatments offer only a temporary solution. After completing a series of VelaShape treatments it depends how determined you are to maintain the results. Changing your diet, exercising regularly, and drinking plenty of water can help your results last longer. It is recommended to have an individual treatment once every 3 months for maintenance. If you are looking for more permanent results, you should consider a cellulite Thermage treatment or surgery.
