VelaShape

Technically, VelaShape is a non-surgical medical device that was designed to address cellulite and help reshape certain areas of the human body. VelaShape’s developer advertises that it can affect the upper and deeper layers of the skin matrix in order to decrease fat and inches, as well as ease cellulite and reduce its dimpled appearance.

The core of VelaShape is its use of ELOS technology, which uses a combination of infrared light energy, bi-polar radio frequency (RF), mechanical massage and vacuum technology to affect weight loss. It uses both radio frequency energies and infrared technology to heat the tissues in the areas being addressed, in order to augment fat loss. The mechanical massage mechanism, which uses specifically crafted rollers, is credited with ensuring the proper delivery of heat energy. VelaShape’s developer suggests that this procedure does not require any down time due to its use of this technology, so it may be a good option for those who do not have time to spend recovering at home.

The VelaShape website, and much of the advertising associated with this product, indicates that it is “the first and only FDA-cleared, non-surgical, alternative for cellulite and circumference reduction.” The company uses this statement to prove the effectiveness of this procedure, but what they fail to note is that when it comes to devices like VelaShape, the FDA does not check for effectiveness—they simply check to make sure they are safe and will not scar or harm users. This is an issue most consumers are not aware of, but it is one that should be kept in mind when considering such options.

VelaShape can be a costly investment due to the fact that its price tag usually ranges between $1500 and $2000 depending upon the area being treated. While VelaShape has been promoted as being a highly effective procedure, it seems that it is simply an unproven one that does not have an extensive track record. However, on consumer blogs and forums, consumers who have had this procedure often rate it rather low, while other adjuncts like holistic supplements rate much higher. When it comes to new and untested technology like VelaShape, many experts suggest taking a wait and see approach to see exactly where its abilities lie in the long-term to avoid wasting time and money, and we couldn’t agree more.
