The Benefits of VelaShape™ Treatments:

• Results are seen in as little as four treatments.
• Firms problem areas and reduces cellulite in trouble areas.
• Treatments are quick and virtually painless.
• No Downtime. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately

How VelaShape™ Works
VelaShape™ uses Elos Technology, the only technology that combines the power of bi-polar radio frequency and optical energy.  Because cellulite does not form on the skin’s surface, VelaShape™ reaches deep within the skin using specifically designed rollers to smooth and contour the skins surface and shrink the size of the fat cells and chambers.  Sanctuary Medical Aesthetic Center is currently treating the hips, thighs, abdomen, and buttocks with VelaShape™.

During a complimentary consultation, the physician will determine if you are a good candidate, recommend a treatment program and explain the treatment process. The physician may also recommend healthy lifestyle changes combined with VelShape treatments that will optimize your results.

FAQ About Cellulite

What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is a term used to describe the dimpled, lumpy appearance of skin caused by fat deposits commonly found on the thighs, stomach, and buttocks.

Who gets Cellulite?
 Statistics show that 90 percent of women develop cellulite at some point in their lives.  Cellulite can affect even the thinnest women.  Factors that influence how much cellulite you have include: gender, age, the amount of fat on your body, the thickness of your skin, and heredity.
  
What causes cellulite?
Cellulite is not caused by excess weight.  Cellulite often develops with hormonal changes such as adolescence, pregnancy, and menopause.  The skin looses elasticity with age and heightens the cellulites appearance.  Most cellulite is seen on the legs and buttocks because that is where most women store fat. 

Can cellulite be affected by lifestyle choices?
Yes.  Smoking, drinking, and the number of calories you consume, and even certain medications do affect cellulite.  Binge drinking, being sedentary, smoking, drinking excessive caffeine, and eating poor quality foods all make it easier for cellulite to appear and stay in problem areas.  Making healthy changes in all of these areas will not only improve your overall quality of life, but reduce the chances of stubborn cellulite surfacing.

What are some simple changes I can make to reduce the chance of cellulite?

• Try to be active through the day. Go for an evening walk, hike on the weekends, swim or do aerobics.  Being active drastically reduces your risk of cellulite! 
• Sleep!  Try to get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night.  Come up with a bedtime routine and stick with it, even on the weekends.
• Do not skip meals or yo-yo diet.  Avoid fried foods and cut back on desserts.  Eat your fruits and vegetables!  Buy fresh foods and cook meals at home, make a night out of it!
