Velashape vs Lipo Laser for Fat Reduction

For many people with stubborn fat, a surgical procedure has traditionally been the method of choice after diet and exercise have failed. As with any surgery, liposuction carries risks and a significant recovery period, prompting many to request a non-surgical alternative. Now, there are several machines designed to help patients lose fat and they often use very different modalities. VelaShape and Lipo Laser are two of the most popular choices.
Velashape combines Bi-Polar Radiofrequency (RF), Infrared Light Energy, plus Vacuum and Mechanical Massage to shrink fat cells, and in turn shrink the cellulite and produce smoother and tighter looking skin. Cellulite is not a product of weight. Whether over weight or extremely fit, your body has cellulite. Velashape is the only FDA approved method that targets cellulite and produces circumferential shrinking. Read more information about our Velashape machine.
lipo laser on the other hand is a much different device. Lipo Laser uses low level lasers that target fat cells and breaks them down into their smallest components. These components are re-absorbed by the body through the blood stream where a little post-procedure exercise helps burn it off. Also FDA approved, the results of Lipo Laser are seen immediately and with just a few short treatments you will see significant fat loss. Our new Lipo Laser slimming machine is on sale now. 
Both devices require multiple treatments. For Lipo Laser, one series of treatments is considered 6 visits over the course of 2 weeks, but many physicians recommend 2 series. Each visit takes about 40 minutes and results are seen around 2 weeks after treatment. vela shape on the other hand typically takes around 4 sessions to see results. Treatments are about 30 minutes each.
Lipo Laser is not really meant for cellulite, but Velashape is.
It's hard to say which treatment is better because it truly depends on the patient's desired outcome. If you want to see some inch reduction all over, than lipo laser machine may be your better option, though many patients report that results are minimal. VelaShape may be a bit more predictable and patients enjoy the reduction in appearance of cellulite as well.
Whatever procedure you choose, it's most important to have reasonable expectations going in. Neither is recommended as a weight loss procedure and those wanting more dramatic results should turn to surgical alternatives.
