  CELLULITE: VelaShape™ II
 
 
What is Cellulite?
Cellulite occurs when fat cells in the hypodermis (the deepest layer of skin) become over-inflated from an increase in fat storage. The fat cells protrude up through the connective tissue causing dimpling or a "cottage cheese" appearance. 80% of women over the age of 20, regardless of their weight or size, are affected by cellulite. Lean women, average weight women, and heavier women are all susceptible to this condition.
 
What is VelaShape™ II?

VelaShape™ II is a FDA cleared technology that reduces the appearance of cellulite. It is performed with an aesthetic medical device that utilizes the revolutionary ELS (electrical-optical synergy) combination of Bi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF), infrared light energies, plus negative pressure and tissue manipulation.

The combination of infrared and conducted RF energies increases oxygen to the cells by heating the skin. This increases the metabolism of stored energy thereby shrinking the size of the fat chamber. In addition, a vacuum with specially designed rollers manipulate and smooth out the skin to facilitate safe and efficient energy delivery. The result is a smoother appearance of the skin.

In addition to larger areas, such as buttocks and thighs, VelaShape™ II is capable of precisely targeting and treating smaller contoured areas such as the neck and arms.
