A large population of people tends to think that cellulite is fat accumulation. That is not true. Cellulite is a condition that develops when the structural layer of the subcutaneous fat is altered, giving off protrusions that make your skin appear bumpy. It affects both men and women; however, it prevails more in women. Cellulite affects the buttocks, thighs, neck, and abdomen. It is also known as cottage cheese or orange-peel skin.

Cellulite reduction is treatment given to the skin to eliminate bumpiness and achieve a well-contoured body. It is one way of achieving that "ideal" body. There are many types of cellulite reduction methods. VelaShape is one of the cellulite reduction methods that has been proven to be more effective than other methods.

What is VelaShape?
VelaShape is a non-invasive body contouring that aids in cellulite reduction and body circumference reduction. It is a handheld device that glides over the targeted area. Cellulite reduction using VelaShape is a technology that combines infrared light, vacuum, and bi-polar radio frequency, which heat the fat cells. When the fat cells are heated, they shrink and stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin. Skin laxity reduces through the tightening of the collagen fibers. The overall outcome of this treatment is an improved skin structure.

Reducing Cellulite With VelaShape
VelaShape treatment is quite easy. It is a comfortable procedure that feels like a warm massage. You do not experience any pain, and there is no anesthesia needed since it is non-invasive. A treatment session takes 15-30 minutes unless you have multiple areas to be treated. There are noticeable results by doing just one session. After a series of treatments, the surface of the skin smoothens and circumferential reduction is visible.
