CELLULITE AND BODY SCULPTING TREATMENT WITH THE VelaShape™ TECHNOLOGY
The Permalaser Clinic now proudly offers the new and improved VelaShape; the first and only FDA and Health Canada approved medical device that penetrates deep enough into the skin to effectively treat cellulite and contour the body. This treatment is painless, non-invasive and requires absolutely no down time.
Over the years, there have been many treatments for getting rid of cellulite. Too often, though, they were scams or involved magical thinking and, despite the exorbitant costs, were not very successful.
The treatment of cellulite calls for a comprehensive approach, and factors that can be controlled should be targeted first-through a balanced diet, reduced consumption of salt and caffeine and increased exercise.
Fortunately, a new medical approach approved by the American FDA is now available for waist circumferential reduction and cellulite treatment: the VelaShape based on the ELOS technology by Syneron. This technology uses infrared light and radio waves along with tissue mobilization.
- The radio waves increase intracellular oxygen diffusion by heating the deep adipose tissue.
- The infrared light increases the elasticity of the skin and heats subcutaneous fat while protecting the skin
- Vacuum manipulation smoothes out the skin to facilitate the transfer of light and radio-frequency energy.
The synergy of these three components makes the VelaShape device a more effective and long-lasting solution for cellulite.
VelaShape is not a laser – it’s a device that combines Bi-Polar radiofrequency energy, infrared light energy, negative pressure and deep tissue massage (elos technology). It is a painless way to change the look of your body without having surgery.
Approximately 80% of women and 70 % of men over the age of 20 are affected by cellulite regardless of their weight and size. Lean women are just as affected by cellulite as heavier women. Cellulite consists of fat cells trapped within the superficial layers of the skin. The only way to smooth it out is to disrupt the connective tissue bands that hold the fat cells in place. The fat cells settle into the deeper layers and the skin looks smoother and more even. Some people believe that liposuction reduces the appearance of cellulite. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Liposuction actually worsens the appearance of cellulite by removing the underlying fat cells and accentuating the irregularity of the of the skin contour. Using the VelaShape, the experts at Permalaser clinic can help you achieve your desired look and smooth out the “dimpled” appearance caused by cellulite.

COMMON QUESTIONS
How does VelaShape™ work?
VelaShape™ uses combined energies known as elos™ to precisely target and heat fatty tissues within the treatment area. In addition, the vacuum and tissue manipulation evens out the skin to reveal a smoother, tighter figure.
On what body areas can I be treated for Circumference Reduction?
With VelaShape™, you can be treated on body areas such as the thighs and buttocks. The two applicators (VSmooth & VContour) on the VelaShape™ device are designed for large and small body areas; therefore, treatment is safe and effective.
How quickly will I notice a change?
Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first treatment - with the skin surface of the treated area feeling smoother, firmer and tighter. Results in Circumference and Cellulite Reduction will be most apparent 6-8 weeks following the final treatment session.

In clinical studies, patients report an average reduction of about 1 inch post treatment series. In clinical trials, the range of Circumferential Reduction was between 0.5-3 inches.
