Under the direction of world-renowned dermatologists Dr Selvam and Dr Nirmala, our team is committed to providing you with the highest standard of care, tailored to your individual needs. At AKJ Skin and Laser Centre, we offer VelaShape, a cutting-edge technology for sculpting the body without dangerous and invasive surgery. You can get in better shape and tone up with it. It also assists in improving the skin structure and texture and helps in localised reduction in skin laxity and volume.
In addition to being the first medical device in the world to use Smart RF technology for noninvasive body contouring, VelaShape has also received FDA approval. The synergistic use of multiple energies, including Bi-Polar RF (radio-frequency), IR (infrared), mechanical tissue manipulation, and pulsed vacuum, is at the heart of the VelaShape system.
A patient undergoing the VelaShape III procedure will first be asked to lie down on a table in a relaxed position. The medical aesthetician will then adjust the settings on a sophisticated handpiece and move it carefully over the target area. The handpiece will then release the anticipated infrared and radio frequency energy. While doing so, it also vacuums the skin and provides a relaxing massage.
The handpiece's ability to produce heat aids in the disintegration of fat cells It also causes it to melt in the process. The mechanical rollers in the handpiece help massage and smooth the skin. The lymphatic system is stimulated during a massage, which aids in the elimination of waste products from the body's cells. By stimulating collagen production in the affected area, this method can help diminish the visual effects of cellulite.
Deep heating of fat cells (adipocytes), their surrounding connective septae, and the underlying dermal collagen fibres is achieved by combining IR and hoover coupled RF technologies. People often compare the treatment to a warm massage in terms of how relaxing it is. Most patients seek it out to tighten their skin after giving birth.
The drug-free VelaShape III treatment has many advantages over other methods, especially those that are more invasive. Since this is not a surgical procedure, you need not worry about discomfort. It neither invasive, nor does it involve use of needles. The process duration ranges from twenty minutes to two hours, depending on the treated area.
By combining infrared light, vacuum, and bi-polar radio frequency, VelaShape can heat the fat cells, underlying collagen fibres, and surrounding connective tissue to a very high temperature, and thereby facilitating the removal of the fat.
You are correct in your assessment of VelaShape treatments not being long-lasting; currently, no method can permanently eliminate cellulite. The effects of VelaShape treatments are expected to last for three to four months and can be maintained with regular treatments. If you want your results to stay, you'll need to schedule 1-2 maintenance treatments every 2‑3 months.
