VelaShape Before & After
How VelaShape® Works
VelaShape® combines several technologies in one treatment to address the appearance of cellulite and improve skin texture. The system uses vacuum technology, infrared light, and radiofrequency (RF) energy to target the underlying tissues.
During treatment, the handheld applicator delivers controlled energy while gently manipulating the targeted area. The combination of technologies is designed to support circulation, treat underlying connective tissue, and stimulate collagen for a firmer, smoother-looking appearance.
VelaShape® may also be used to help improve the appearance of areas such as the thighs and abdomen. Because results can vary from person to person, your Dream Spa Medical provider can evaluate your concerns and create a treatment plan based on your individual aesthetic goals.

No, VelaShape is not designed to help you lose weight. Though it is a solution for cellulite and excess fat, it is more designed for people who have already lost weight through exercise and diet plans. A healthy lifestyle can’t affect all parts of your body, so VelaShape fills in the gaps.
While you will lose some fat cells during the VelaShape process, it’s important to note that your other fat cells can continue to grow. Mitigate this by continuing a lifestyle of consistent exercise and healthy eating. To keep cellulite away, you could consider additional VelaShape treatments.
You may be a suitable candidate if you want:
- A non-surgical treatment
- A slim silhouette
- To eradicate cellulite in your buttocks and your legs
- A cellulite treatment that doesn’t result in weight loss.
If these match your expectations, VelaShape could be a perfect treatment for you!
A VelaShape session is surprisingly short, only lasting 30 to 45 minutes.
The process begins with a specialized VelaShape roller massage. Our team members will administer this massage themselves, circulating blood through the predetermined treatment area. This massage begins the cellulite reduction process. From there, we will use the vacuum.
The vacuum brings tissue closer to the surface of the skin, allowing it to be heated by infrared energies. These energies penetrate the skin at a depth of 3mm, heating the problematic tissue. You don’t have to worry about surrounding tissue being affected, as bi-polar radiofrequency energy safely guides the heat to the intended treatment area.
You also don’t have to worry about feeling uncomfortable and overheated. For many of our patients, the heating sensation is actually quite relaxing. Better yet, once you’re done with the treatment, you’re done! VelaShape does not necessitate downtime. We suggest patients schedule 3 to 6 treatments, but some patients see results after a single procedure.
Pre- and Post-Care Instructions for VelaShape in Canton
- Women who are pregnant or nursing should not receive VelaShape treatments.
- We have found that it is best to avoid eating a large meal prior to your appointment if you are treating your abdomen. We will be massaging and applying heat to your abdomen, which may make it uncomfortable during and immediately after treatment if you are very full.
- We have found with all body contouring procedures that it is best if the patient is as close to their “goal weight” as possible and that their weight has been mostly stable for the past 6 months. VelaShape, along with all body contouring procedures, is intended to contour a specific area that requires more attention than simple diet and exercise can offer. It is not intended as a weight loss procedure.
- It is best to avoid direct sun exposure or tanning booths prior to your appointment. Although treating tanned skin is not contraindicated, we will not treat compromised or sunburnt skin.
- We suggest avoiding sunless tanning lotion for 2 days prior to your appointment. If you have sunless tanning on your skin, it is best to exfoliate prior to your appointment. This will not impede your treatment in any way, but the solution used in the treatment combined with the heat and massage will remove the product, and it may look undesirable.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best as well as help to accelerate your healing time and enhance results.
- Proper hydration and a healthy, active lifestyle are of the utmost importance when undergoing body contouring procedures. All of these modalities work in conjunction with your lymphatic system. The more you get your body moving and provide it with the proper nutrients, the better your results will be.
- Generally, VelaShape is a very comfortable procedure with little to no downtime.
- You may experience minor redness or small hive-like bumps in the treated area post-treatment; this should subside within 3 days.
- Bruising is a possibility. If this occurs, you may apply Arnica gel to expedite healing. You may take Advil or Motrin for discomfort.
- VelaShape works with your body’s lymphatic system to eliminate fatty deposits and toxins. We suggest maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle to help encourage your lymphatic system to function at its highest level.
- We suggest that you increase your hydration intake by 30–50% daily to continue to promote optimal lymphatic flow.
Best results are achieved with a series of 6 treatments, spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart depending upon what we are targeting with the treatment. We suggest weekly treatments for cellulite and circumferential reduction, and every 2 weeks for skin tightening.
Maintenance treatments are strongly encouraged within 6 months to 1 year after completing your series. Dream Spa Medical offers reduced package pricing for our patients who make the commitment to invest in themselves with maintenance treatments.
