VelaShape Cellulite Reduction
Pittsburgh, PA
Although there is no cure for cellulite, the innovative technology of VelaShape™ cellulite reduction has made it possible to significantly reduce and in many cases eliminate the appearance of cellulite and provide circumferential reduction with noticeable body contouring results.
Cellulite affects over eighty percent of adult women, regardless of weight, size or level of physical activity. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not caused by excessive weight gain or loss. It is actually caused by fat and toxins that have been pushed toward the surface of the skin and have become trapped in the dermal layer, which causes a dimpling or rippling appearance of the skin.
Velashape is most often performed on areas of the body where the appearance of cellulite is most noticeable, such as:
- Outer thighs
- Inner thighs
- Hips
- Buttocks

Cellulite Treatment with VelaShape Technology
VelaShape™ cellulite reduction and body contouring technology, from the manufacturers of VelaSmooth ™, combines the power of radio frequency energy and infrared light with the rolling and suctioning motion of traditional Endermologie ® to provide optimal cellulite reduction and body contouring results in as little as six cellulite treatments.
Radio frequency energy and infrared light deliver penetrating heat to the deep layers of skin, which helps to shrink small pockets of fat. The rolling and suctioning motion evenly distributes the heat energy and improves circulation and oxygenation of the cells - releasing trapped toxins. The overall result is improved cellulite reduction and smoother, more toned-looking skin.

FAQ's: VelaShape Cellulite Reduction and Body Contouring
What is cellulite?
Cellulite, which resembles dimpling on the surface of the skin, is caused by an accumulation of displaced fat and toxins that are trapped just beneath the surface of skin. Cellulite is not caused by being overweight; in fact, many people who are in excellent physical condition have pockets of cellulite on their arms, hips, thighs or buttocks.
When will I see results and how long do the results last?
Some individuals may begin to see results after the second or third treatment. Typically, however, six treatments spaced one week apart are needed for optimal results. Once you have completed the initial series of treatments, one session every three months is recommended for continued results.
The results of VelaShape cellulite reduction and body contouring treatments are long-lasting as long as a healthy weight is maintained.
What alternative body contouring treatments available?
