The VelaShape Body Contouring Technology

VelaShape® uses bi-polar radiofrequency energy, infrared light, and vacuum to deep heat fat cells, connective tissue and dermal collagen fibres. This stimulates collagen and elastin growth to reduce body volume, increase skin tone, and improve skin texture and structure.

Not a weight-loss treatment, this combination of technologies contours the body to reduce the areas that exercise and diet don’t touch.

VelaShape Body Contouring for Cellulite

For best results, patients have a Body Mass Index (BMI) under 30 and also classified by The Nurnberger-Muller Cellulite Scale as Stage 1 or 2.

The Nurnberger-Muller Cellulite Scale

Cellulite describes cosmetic dimpled, altered topography of the skin. Usually located on outer thighs, buttocks and posterior thighs, cellulite also exists on 80 to 90% of women of all races. Cellulite may be worse during higher estrogen states, like pregnancy, nursing, and ongoing use of oral contraceptives. Diet, exercise, and other lifestyle factors don’t seem to influence cellulite development, but weight gain can worsen how existing cellulite looks.

The Nurnberger-Muller Cellulite Classification Scale describes how cellulite appears and also predicts potential results of body contouring for cellulite. Here are the three stages:

  1. NO dimpling while the patient is standing or lying down, but the pinch test reveals the “orange peel” appearance
  2. “Orange peel” dimpling appears spontaneously when standing up, but NOT when lying down
  3. “Orange peel” dimpling appears spontaneously both when standing up AND lying down
