Pre-VelaShape™ Treatment

Prior to your first body shaping treatment, we will schedule a consultation for you with an American Laser Skincare professional who will take a complete medical history and measurements, outline a custom treatment plan and answer all of your questions. Our skincare professionals will also provide an in-depth explanation and present your VelaShape options.

Preparation

For best results it is important to stay away from indoor, outdoor or sunless tanning and to use sun block with SPF 60 or higher for the course of treatment. We also recommend using VIVITÉ® Firming Lotion to enhance body shaping treatment results. Clean, dry, exfoliated skin, free of creams, lotions and perfume is best suited for our body shaping treatment. You may be asked to trim long or course hair that may hinder the movement of the applicator.

VelaShape Treatment

VelaShape is FDA-cleared, safe and effective for all skin types and colors. The combination of radiofrequency, infrared light energy with vacuum and mechanical massage, increases the metabolism of stored energy, increases lymphatic drainage and reduces or shrinks the size of the actual fat cells and fat chambers. Body shaping treatments are virtually painless and don’t require downtime so you can return to daily activities immediately. After completing your body shaping treatment cycle, we recommend periodical maintenance treatments. Like all medical aesthetic techniques, results will last longer if you maintain a balanced diet and exercise regularly.

Treatment Time (Duration of Treatment)

Generally a body shaping session lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

What Does VelaShape Look Like?

Most clients find VelaShape body shaping to be comfortable – and some say it is as enjoyable as a massage. It is normal to experience a warm sensation for a few hours after treatment and for your skin to appear red for several hours following each body shaping treatment.

Post-VelaShape Treatment

After VelaShape treatments, the area may feel like it is mildly sunburned and you may have pinkness, mild tingling and feel a warm sensation. It is important to use sun block with SPF 60 or higher during the course of your body shaping treatments and for 2-3 days following each VelaShape treatment you will want to avoid using bleaching cream. Though the body shaping treatment is non-invasive, the rollers used may cause bruising in those with sensitive or fragile skin.
