VelaShape

With VelaShape™ it is easy to enhance your body, improve your lifestyle and feel better about yourself (*)
!
VelaShape II has been cleared by the FDA and provides visible results without downtime or significant discomfort. Experience a proven non-surgical alternative to liposuction.

VelaShape™ II is designed as a non-surgical (non-invasive) specialized medical device for body contouring to include: circumferential reduction of thighs and the waist, isolated areas of fat removal with a noticeable reshaping of the treated area, and cellulite appearance improvement.

VelaShape

VelaShape™ II features the revolutionary elōs™ combination of Bi-Polar Radiofrequency (RF), Infrared Light Energy at 700 nm, plus Vacuum and Mechanical Massage.

The Radiofrequency and Infrared Light Energy provide precise heating that ensures a safe, effective, fast treatment with no downtime. Vacuum suction combined with Mechanical Massage using specially designed rollers to smooth out the subcutaneous tissue facilitates safe and efficient heat energy delivery.

 

 

VelaShape™ II Treatment Technique:

Affected areas

The machine is turned to the “on” position, calibration spontaneously occurs. The size of the hand piece used (large or small) is determined by having maximum contact with the patient’s skin. Once the sized handpiece is chosen and the booting process is complete, the treating personnel types the settings into the keypad on the hand piece. The standard starting settings of 2,3,2 represent: infrared light (IR), radiofrequency (RF) and suction, respectively.

Velashape lotion is applied to the skin of the treatment area immediately prior to commensing the treatment. Patients will undergo once to twice a week treatment for three weeks (total 6 treatments), each treatment duration is for 20—30 minutes, with a goal of each treatment to achieve a skin temperature of a minimum of 40°C with an attempt to achieve up to 45°C . Treatment personnel will apply Velashape treatment oil for conduction during treatment. The handpieces are moved slightly differently. The small hand piece usually needs to be lifted off the patient’s skin and moved to an adjacent site. The large hand piece, in contrast, is pushed onto the adjacent skin area without lifting off the skin surface.

Machine

 

The handpiece is placed on the patient’s skin and striped in one direction with 15% overlap of each strip. The handpieces are moved slightly differently. The small hand piece usually needs to be lifted off the patient’s skin and moved to an adjacent site. The large hand piece, in contrast, is pushed onto the adjacent skin area without lifting off the skin surface.

Machine

 

Treatment begins by placing the hand piece on the patient as the handpiece is heating up, and with the suction engaged, the treatment personnel counts from 1 to 10. The treatment personnel observe the skin being erythematous and warm to touch.

The settings are altered when the patient experiences discomfort at a level that they can no longer tolerate. If the patient complains of the suction sensation producing too much pain, the suction is decreased from 2 to 1. If the patient states the temperature is too hot, the IR energy setting is decreased from 2 to 1. Then, the new settings are judged to be satisfactory by the treating personnel, again by counting from one to 10. The length of time until the patient complains again of discomfort determines the length of each treatment prior to moving the hand piece to an adjacent area.

Each skin section is then treated for that time period and then moved to an adjacent area. The number of passes is between one, two or three. The target temperature of treatment is 45°C ., however, the minimum target temperature is 40°C. The surface skin temperature is measured by a non-contact temperature gun. Treatment is continued until this temperature is reached. Typically, the target temperature is reached in 3-7 minutes.

Diagram

The manufacturer recommends two treatments per week, attaining tissue temperatures of 40-41°C and treating the patient for about 20-25 minutes per treatment session. The net result is that VelaShape™ II increases the metabolism of one’s tissues stored energy, increases lymphatic drainage and reduces the size of the actual fat cells and size of fat lobules.

In a clinical multi-center study, 85% of the treated areas have reported Circumferential Reduction of thighs of at least 1cm; ranging up to 7.2 cm in reduction. The aging process and life’s experiences such as pregnancy and child birth produces an overall increase in skin laxity, and dissatisfaction with body image. A clinical study in woman after child birth revealed that with five VelaShape treatments each spaced one week apart, patients measured an average circumferential reduction of 5.9 cm (2.3 inches) on the buttock, 2.5cm (1 inch) on the thigh and 7.37cm (2.9 inches) on the abdomen area.
