VelaShape®: Combines infrared light, radiofrequency energy, and mechanical massage to reduce cellulite, tighten skin, and improve body shape on the thighs, abdomen, and buttocks.

What is body contouring?

Body contouring includes non-surgical treatments designed to target stubborn fat, tighten loose skin, and improve overall body shape. These treatments target problem areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, chin, and buttocks to create smooth contours and enhance definition.

Modern body-shaping technologies such as fat-freezing, ultrasound, radiofrequency, and magnetic muscle stimulation reshape and tone the body safely, with little to no downtime.

What areas can be treated with body contouring?
Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, buttocks, bra fat, under the chin, and knees.
What areas of the body can CoolSculpting target?
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to reduce fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, under the chin, bra fat, and upper arms. Treatments are customized to your body shape and goals.
Is body contouring safe?

How many body contouring treatments will I need?
Most patients need a series of 3-6 sessions depending on the technology used, the area treated, and their aesthetic goals.
Are body contouring results permanent?
Fat cells that are destroyed or dissolved are permanently removed, but remaining fat cells can still expand. Maintaining healthy habits helps preserve long-term results.
How is UltraShape different from other fat reduction treatments?

Is UltraShape effective for larger areas of fat?
Yes. UltraShape can treat large areas of stubborn fat efficiently, and results are smooth and uniform without downtime.

Does body contouring hurt?
Most treatments are well tolerated. Patients often describe sensations of warmth, pressure, or vibration, depending on the device used.
Is there downtime?
Most body contouring procedures have little to no downtime. Temporary redness, mild swelling, or tenderness may occur.
Can body contouring tighten loose skin?
Body contouring doesn’t specifically tighten skin, but there are other treatments, such as laser treatments, that can be used to tighten skin after body contouring.
When will I see results?
Some improvements can be seen within a few weeks, while full results may appear over 2–3 months as the body processes treated fat cells and builds new collagen.
Can VelaShape reduce cellulite?
Yes. VelaShape combines radiofrequency, infrared light, and mechanical massage to smooth cellulite, tighten skin, and contour areas like the thighs, abdomen, and arms.
