VelaShape III® is a non-surgical body contouring procedure that addresses the root causes of cellulite. VelaShape is a great option for patients who are tired of dealing with cellulite creams and ointments that are both expensive and ineffective. Here is a quick look at how this amazing cellulite reduction technology works and some signs that it might be right for you.
Where Does Cellulite Come From?
While many people believe that cellulite is the result of excess body fat, that isn’t the only factor that needs to be taken into consideration. Just under your skin, there is a complex network of connective bands. Those bands keep pockets of fat in place, but there may come a point when the fat breaks through. As you grow older and your skin loses some of its elasticity, you might begin to notice the unsightly ripples that we call cellulite. Staying at a healthy weight and getting plenty of exercise will reduce your risk of cellulite, but it is important to remember that your genetics play a role as well.
Both men and women can develop cellulite. Men tend to hold extra body fat in the abdomen, and the connective tissue is much thicker in that area of the body. Women, on the other hand, usually accumulate fat in the flanks, thighs, and buttocks. When the connective tissue in those areas of the body breaks down, some of the fat will eventually push against the outer layers of the skin.
Cellulite Reduction with VelaShape III®
The VelaShape device minimizes the appearance of cellulite by strengthening the skin, reducing the size of the fat cells, and breaking apart some of the damaged connective bands. This machine accomplishes those tasks with pulses of radiofrequency energy and infrared light. It also has a medical-grade vacuum that physically pushes the tissue around and stimulates the production of important proteins.
