This article explores the benefits, mechanism of action, procedure, recovery, and potential risks associated with VelaShape®, providing a thorough understanding for those considering this advanced body contouring solution.
Understanding VelaShape®
What is VelaShape®?
VelaShape® is a non-surgical treatment designed to contour the body, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and improve skin texture. It utilizes a combination of infrared light (IR), bi-polar radiofrequency (RF) energy, pulsed vacuum, and mechanical massage to target and treat problem areas. VelaShape® is commonly used on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and flanks.
Benefits of VelaShape®
Smanjenje celulita
VelaShape® effectively reduces the appearance of cellulite by breaking down fat cells and improving the structure of the skin, leading to smoother and firmer skin.
Konturiranje tijela
The treatment helps contour and shape the body by reducing circumference and targeting problem areas, resulting in a more sculpted and toned appearance.
Neinvazivna
VelaShape® is a non-invasive procedure that requires no surgery or anesthesia, making it a convenient option for body contouring and cellulite reduction with minimal downtime.
Poboljšana tekstura kože
The combination of technologies used in VelaShape® enhances skin texture and firmness, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated look.
Mehanizam djelovanja
Infracrveno svjetlo (IR)
The infrared light heats the tissue up to a depth of 3 mm, enhancing blood circulation, improving lymphatic drainage, and promoting collagen production.
Bipolarna radiofrekvencijska (RF) energija
Bipolarna RF energija prodire dublje u tkivo, do 15 mm, zagrijavajući masne stanice i vezivno tkivo. Ta toplina potiče proizvodnju kolagena i poboljšava strukturu kože.
Pulsed Vacuum
The pulsed vacuum technology increases blood circulation, enhances lymphatic drainage, and helps the RF energy penetrate deeper into the tissue.
Mehanička masaža
Mehanički masažni valjci zaglađuju kožu, poboljšavaju cirkulaciju i olakšavaju drenažu viška tekućine i toksina, pojačavajući ukupni učinak tretmana.
The VelaShape® Procedure
Understanding the details of the VelaShape® procedure can help prospective patients prepare for what to expect and ensure a smooth treatment experience.
Savjetovanje prije liječenja
Before undergoing VelaShape®, patients will have a consultation with a qualified provider. During this consultation, the provider will assess the patient’s overall health, examine the areas of concern, and discuss their goals and expectations. The provider will also review the patient’s medical history to ensure they are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
Procedura
The VelaShape® procedure involves several key steps:
- Priprema: Područje tretmana se čisti i nanosi se vodljivi gel za olakšavanje isporuke RF i IR energije.
- Application of VelaShape® Device: The provider moves the VelaShape® handpiece over the treatment area. The device delivers IR and RF energy, vacuum, and mechanical massage simultaneously.

- Izbjegavajte izlaganje suncu: Zaštitite tretirana područja od izravnog izlaganja suncu nošenjem kreme za sunčanje i izbjegavanjem dugotrajnog izlaganja suncu najmanje tjedan dana.
