UltraShape is another fat reduction treatment that is a non-surgical procedure. It uses targeted ultrasound technology designed to eliminate fat cells in the abdominal, keeping in mind that this treatment is not a weight loss solution. Ideal candidates for the treatment should be able to pinch at least an inch of fat in their abdomen and have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or less. The UltraShape uses ultrasound technology to target fat cells in the midsection without damaging the surrounding tissues. When the fat cells are destroyed, fat is released in the form of triglycerides which the liver processes to be removed from the body. A clinical study revealed that UltraShape showed a 32% reduction in abdominal fat thickness after three treatments only, spaced two weeks apart. It is often the recommended treatment to get optimal results. Reportedly, UltraShape does not cause any pain. Patients can experience tingling or warm feeling during the procedure. Due to the measured energy used in an UltraShape procedure, fat cells can be destroyed without harming the skin, nerves, muscles, and blood vessels. Other patients can have bruising and blisters on the abdomen following the procedure. UltraShape procedure can range from $1500-$2500.
Lipolaser is considered as a cosmetic treatment that supports body sculpting by removing excess fat and cellulite in the body. Lipolaser is another non-invasive procedure, the only difference is that it uses laser-based, spot fat reduction and body contouring system. It uses the laser energy safely and painlessly to penetrate the skin and target the specific fat cells in the body therefore minimizing the risk of damaging nerves, skin, or blood vessels surrounding it. It is able to stimulate the cell by releasing water, free fatty acids, and glycerol. When this targeted procedure happen the fat cells “shrinks” significantly resulting to inch loss. The lymphatic system absorbs the fat and processed by the liver to an energy source which allows the body to excrete the fat which leaves the body through its natural waste mechanisms. The treatment usually lasts between 30-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Other benefits of LipoLaser are regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin and improvement of circulation and metabolism. Since its still a procedure, side effects of Lipolaser includes infection, dimpling, scarring, discoloration, or sagging skin, and discomfort in the treated area. Lipolaser can range from $2500-$4500.
Endermologie is an approved treatment by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that is used to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the skin using deep tissue massage. Endermologie is less invasive than other cellulite treatments and has no downtime/recovery time. Most patients use Endermologie or Lipomassage to reduce cellulites on their thighs and buttocks, but endermologie is also a safe treatment for other areas in the body. Just like the previous treatments, it makes use of the deep tissue massage to stimulate the Lymphatic system and drain excess fluid and fat in the body. Endermologie can also improve body contouring and skin texture. Since its using a deep-tissue massage, Endermologie can also help relieve muscle aches and pains, improve skin tone, and general circulation. An endermologist uses a handheld massage tool to apply pressure and knead areas with cellulite. It combines suction, rolling, and pulsating to stimulate fat locked within the tissue. As the tissue loosens in the targeted area, the clumps of fat cells will slowly break apart that will lead releasing of the tight area and improving skin texture. Endermologie sessions lasts up to 30-45 minutes and recommended sessions should be at least 8-10 treatments for best results. It is reported that the patients feel no pain during the treatment and little to no side effects, patients finds endermologie relaxing just like a massage. And just like other treatments, this is not permanent so in order to maintain the end result a patient should do annual follow up treatments. Endermologie can cost around $50-$2000.
Since we already have in-depth knowledge about VelaShape treatment and its alternatives in the cosmetic field, this time we will break down the pros and cons of getting a VelaShape treatment. This will give you a glimpse of what to expect so that you yourself can decide if you want to undergo the procedure or not. We know its always important for a patient to have enough knowledge before deciding whether to improve a part of their body or not.
Let us begin discussing the benefits of VelaShape Treatment. First, the treatment doesn't take very long, although depending on the area of treatment, the procedure only takes up to 20-30 minutes per area. Secondly, the procedure according to patients is painless which means no recovery or downtime needed, patients can go back to their usual daily routine after the procedure. Next, the VelaShape Treatment is approved by the Food and Drug Administration and is considered to be safe for all (gender, age, skin type and tone). And lastly, the VelaShape treatment works well in combination with the other procedures.
Of course it cannot be denied that each treatment has its downside and VelaShape treatment has a few caveats. For better results, the patient will need to undergo multiple VelaShape treatment usually 3-6 sessions spaced a week apart. Though you will see improvements in the first three treatments, it is still recommended to continue and have booster treatments afterward. VelaShape treatment is not permanent, results will be temporary so the patient should have 3-4 follow up sessions annually to maintain the desired outcome. Results are also subtle, so you need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet in order to maintain the outcome of your VelaShape treatment.
It is very evident that in a world where the use of social media is very rampant and almost everyone have access to it, the pressure to look perfect and be perfect cannot be denied. So with the advent of technology and great minds to invent and create procedures that can really improve appearance and help people gain that self esteem and self confidence is a thing that we should take advantage of. There is no shame in trying to enhance the features that we have, “natural beauty” is good, yes. But we should always remember not to condemn or judge the people on their choices especially if it makes them happy and feel good about themselves. We are slowly moving into that period where conversations about body enhancement is made possible by different media platforms, where people are now taking up a stand and not treating this topic as a taboo, we have individuals advocating for those people who made the choice to improve upon what they have. It is your choice, now, will you consider getting a VelaShape treatment?
