Body Contouring

American Laser Centers features VelaShape™ the first FDA-cleared non-invasive medical device for circumferential reduction. A powerful combination of light, energy and specially designed rollers contour, shapes and slims the body, providing dramatic results without downtime or significant discomfort. This is the first and only technology that uses combined energies to precisely target and heat fatty tissues within the treatment area.

Enlarged fat cells
  • Infrared light heats the tissue down to the deep dermis.
  • Radio Frequency heats tissue down to the subcutis layer.
  • Vacuum and specially designed rollers manipulate and smooth out the skin.
  • The net result increases the metabolism of stored energy (lipolysis), increases lymphatic drainage and shrinks the size of the actual fat chamber.

Reduction of the size of
fat cells leads to circumferential reduction

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. In clinical trials, the average range of circumferential reduction was 0.5 - 3 inches. Treatment is safe and effective for all skin types and colors and there are no reported short- or long-term health effects.

Most clients find VelaShape™ comfortable – like a warm deep tissue massage. The treatment is designed to accommodate your sensitivity and comfort level. It is normal to experience a warm sensation for a few hours post treatment and your skin may also appear red for several hours. Following your complete treatment regimen, it is recommended to get maintenance treatments periodically. Like all non-surgical or surgical techniques, results will last longer if you follow a balanced diet and exercise regularly.
