Velashape to Banish Cellulite Docto o-one knows exactly what causes Cellulite. Genetics are thought to be mainly responsible or that you’re not drinking enough water, poor diet and sedentary lifestyle are also thought to contribute. Patien decided i wanted to have this cellulite treatment because I'm going on holiday at the end of the summer and the appearance of my legs at the moment aren’t what I'd like them to be in a bikini. Docto 'm going to start working on this are here, ok? And then once it gets hot then I'll move to the next bit. Ok? Velashape is a combination of four components that consist of infrared and radio frequency which heat the tissue and the blood that contributes to the cellulite. Ok so I'm just going to put a bit of the lotion on your legs just to stop the velashape heat from sticking to it, it just helps it move along your skin. Patien haven’t used any other treatments in the past but I have looked into lotions and potions that help improve the appearance but none of them see to work. So I'm just looking at the velashape just to get some really results. Docto ere we go, you ready? The mechanical massage part of it facilitates deeper penetration of the heat and help with the lymphatic drainage. Also you get vacuum suction which again stimulates the circulation. So the velashape heats the fat without damaging the skin and starts a chemical reaction which makes fat easier for the body to metabolize. So the fat is metabolized, shrinking the fat cells, and tightens the collagen for an over all smoother appearance.

The most popular areas to be treated with the velashape are the front and the back of the thighs and also the buttocks. However we can also treat the abdomen and the upper part of the arms which also can be affected by the velashape treatment. How’s it feeling? Is it getting nice and warm? Patien ea Docto ell the velashape treatment will certainly reduce the appearance of cellulite but this cannot be eliminated completely. So to maintain the result of the smoother looking skin you need to carry on having treatment there after. Usually what would happen is that you would have one treatment after three months. And then every three months after that you would have treatment. Ok so you’re all done for today. Patien ust had the velashape treatment to help reduce the cellulite in the back of my legs. It was really quite pleasant actually, quite comfortable to lye there. The machine just went over my leg, just felt like a really tight vacuum. A nice warmth going through there as well. Docto he treatment itself does not hurt, the way I describe it is that it’s a hot deep tissue massage. Afterwards you probably feel like you have some radiating heat for a couple of hours. Patien t was actually a not very painful at all. The only thing is that it’s quite warm, a very strong vacuum feeling. But it’s nothing un-bearable, quite nice actually. Docto he length of the treatment really depends on the area that you’re actually treating. But to give you an example, the front of the leg and the thighs would take an hour and a half to complete each time. What you need to do is you really need to have a initial course of six treatments which is one per week and then it would be maintenance treatments there after.
