Body Contouring

Many of us miss the firm body shape of our youth or pre-pregnancy. VelaShape™ is a safe non-surgical technique for body contouring, especially for the abdomen and localised fat pads. It is an FDA approved device that safely heats fatty tissue and ensures a painless, effective, fast treatment.

Its advanced technology combines Bi-Polar Radiofrequency (RF), Infrared Light Energy, plus Vacuum and Mechanical Massage. The Infrared heating and radio frequency produces a precise heating of the fat cells that ensures a targeted result. In addition the vacuum and tissue massage evens out the skin to produce a smoother, firmer figure ideal for targeting those resistant pockets of fat.

Vacuum and specially designed rollers for the Mechanical Massage smooth out the skin to facilitate safe and efficient heat energy delivery. The heating and massage leads to loss of fat cells in the areas treated. The result is the gradual smoothing of the skin's surface with a noticeable reduction in cellulite and circumferential reduction, with noticeable reshaping of the treated area.

All skin types can be treated safely and effectively. In a clinical multi-centre study in the US, 85% of those treated reported a reduction of one to seven centimetres in thigh diameter which is seen six to eight weeks after completion of the course of six treatments.

Treatment details

For optimum results, your Dermatologist will advise a course of six weekly treatments. We are able to treat multiple areas in a single session, including the abdomen, buttocks and thighs, in less than 40 minutes without downtime or great discomfort.
