How VelaShape Body Contouring Works

Step 1: Cavitation (Fat Cell Disruption)

The treatment begins with 40 kHz ultrasonic cavitation, which uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to target stubborn fat cells beneath the skin.

The ultrasound creates tiny microscopic bubbles around the fat cells. As these bubbles expand and collapse, they weaken and disrupt the fat cell membranes. The released fat is then processed naturally by your body's lymphatic system and liver over the following weeks.

Benefits of Cavitation:

  • Targets localized fat deposits

  • Helps reduce inches in treated areas

  • Non-invasive with no downtime

  • Ideal for the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and back

Step 2: Radiofrequency + Vacuum Massage (Skin Tightening & Cellulite Reduction)

After cavitation, the treatment continues with radiofrequency (RF), infrared heat, and vacuum suction with mechanical rollers.

Radiofrequency (RF)

RF energy gently heats the deeper layers of the skin where collagen is produced.

This controlled heating:

  • Stimulates new collagen and elastin production

  • Tightens loose skin

  • Improves skin elasticity

  • Smooths the appearance of cellulite

  • Enhances overall skin texture

Vacuum Suction & Roller Massage

The vacuum gently lifts the skin while motorized rollers massage the tissue.

This helps:

  • Increase blood circulation

  • Stimulate lymphatic drainage

  • Move released fat toward the lymphatic system

  • Break up fibrous bands that contribute to cellulite

  • Improve the appearance of dimpling

  • Reduce fluid retention

Why These Treatments Are Combined

Using cavitation first helps break down stubborn fat cells. Following immediately with radiofrequency and vacuum massage helps your body process the released fat while simultaneously tightening the skin and improving circulation.

Together, these technologies work to:

  • Reduce localized fat

  • Improve body contour

  • Tighten loose skin

  • Reduce cellulite

  • Stimulate collagen production

  • Enhance lymphatic drainage

  • Create smoother, firmer-looking skin

Best Results

Most patients see the best results with 6–10 treatments, spaced 1–2 weeks apart, along with proper hydration, regular exercise, and a healthy diet. Results continue to improve over several weeks as the body naturally eliminates the disrupted fat cells and new collagen forms.

This is a non-surgical treatment with little to no downtime, making it an excellent option for patients looking to sculpt and tighten without surgery.
