Is VelaShape Treatment Safe?

As you may have read, the VelaShape device has been given approval by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) as an effective, non-surgical treatment procedure to remove cellulite.   VelaShape treatments are entirely non-surgical and non-invasive.  The VelaShape wand does not penetrate the skin and there is no bleeding, no risk of infection and no post-surgical recovery time.  In fact, most VelaShape patients can return to their normal activities the same day as their treatment.

The VelaShape device works by simultaneously applying two different heat sources in combination with a suction device and a rolling massager.  The first heat source used is light energy which relaxes the top layers of your skin.  The second heat source is known as RF (radiofrequency) heat, and is designed to penetrate, loosen and break down deeper layers of skin and the fat pockets contained therein.  A suction device on the end of the VelaShape wand draws the fat pockets closer to the surface of the skin where a rolling massager further breaks down the loosened fat cells.

Ramie A. Tritt, M.D., Medical Director of the Tritt Aesthetic & Plastic Center in Atlanta, Georgia, notes that the VelaShape treatment causes minimal discomfort.  "My patients are awake, during the VelaShape treatment," comments Dr. Tritt.  "No anesthetics are used, and no pain relievers are necessary.  Patients report a sensation of warmth on the skin being treated but this is not at all uncomfortable.  The VelaShape equipment we use is state of the art and the device manufacturer, Syneron, has put a great deal of emphasis on patient comfort."

VelaShape has been used without any reported complication or adverse reaction in hundreds of medical clinics throughout the world.  "We conducted extensive research on this product and I took treatment myself to confirm the device's safety, comfort and effectiveness," says Dr. Tritt.  "The safety and comfort of my patients is my primary concern and I stand behind the VelaShape treatment fully."
