Arm Fat Removal

Traditional liposuction is a significantly invasive procedure which involves removal of fat from targeted body areas. You can achieve slimmer arms with a revolutionary new treatment called VelaShape II. It helps in contouring the upper arms without the need for anesthesia or scalpels.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides non-surgical upper arm fat reduction treatments to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities.

What is VelaShape II?

VelaShape II is the product of four different technologies aimed at shrinking fat cells. The treatment makes use of the following:

  • Radio frequency
  • Infrared light
  • Vacuum suction
  • Mechanical massage

How Does it Work?

VelaShape II will be placed on the skin of your upper arm. It will use massage rollers and vacuum technology to knead the treatment area and create a suction of sorts. Radiofrequency energy along with infrared light will temporarily penetrate fat cells and perforate their membranes. This causes fat cells to release glycerol and fatty acids into the body.

The massage and light therapy also stimulates collagen production resulting in a better skin texture. This is why VelaShape II is FDA cleared for reducing cellulite appearance temporarily.

Number of Treatments Required

Most patients tend to notice visible results after three sessions. However, you may need 4 – 6 sessions spaced a week apart for optimal results. Each treatment session takes only about 30 minutes.

Target Areas

VelaShape II can be used for treating buttocks, upper arms, thighs, love handles, and abdomen. The treatment is non-invasive and quite comfortable.

Ideal Candidacy for VelaShape II

You are a suitable candidate if you meet the following:

  • Not be susceptible to blood clots
  • Not be diagnosed as having diabetes
  • Exhibit cellulite around abdomen, pelvis, or limbs
  • Not be pregnant (doctor approval required)
  • Not have a pacemaker (doctor approval required)

Downtime and Results Associated with VelaShape II

There is no downtime to the treatment. Results tend to be temporary since VelaShape II only shrinks fat cells and doesn’t destroy them completely. You can ensure long lasting results with a balanced diet. You can prolong results by reducing your calorie intake.

According to previous client reviews, people getting upper arms fat reduction treatment have noticed favorable results. However, an active lifestyle and a balanced diet are must for long term benefits.

Flank Fat Removal

Some types of fats are easy to get rid of with regular exercise, while others tend to hang around your flanks or abdominal area for decades. VelaShape II is a pioneer non-invasive body toning treatment for cellulite and circumferential reduction. It enables patients to achieve a more sculpted and toned body in just three treatment sessions. You will end up feeling more youthful and toned with the dramatic results brought on by VelaShape II.

You can get rid of jiggly flank fat (fatty tissue in the love handles) and stubborn fat around the abdomen in a comfortable and safe way. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides non-surgical flank fat reduction treatments to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

Technology Platform of VelaShape II

Elos is a revolutionary new technology and the secret behind the success of VelaShape II. It combines four powerful energy types:

  • Infrared Light energies
  • Negative pressure (vacuum)
  • Bi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF)
  • Tissue manipulation (mechanical massage)

Results Supported by Studies

VelaShape II has clinically supported results which show that the technology can result in significant improvement in flanks contour and shape. The treatment remodels and reduces targeted subcutaneous fat layer. Alterations in physical integrity were shown by fat cells with various cell membrane forms rupturing and reducing fat tissue. This was seen through biopsy studies.

Clinical studies showed the following:

  • Circumference reduction of 0.6 cm in the arm area
  • Circumference reduction of 3.2 cm in the hip area
  • Circumference reduction of 5.73 cm in the abdomen, 4.18 cm on thighs, and 5.86 cm on hips

Massive Improvement in Skin Texture and Tone

VelaShape II, on an average, reduces cellulite by 65% on most patients. Clinical studies showed 50% improvement in cellulite appearance. Blinded doctor based evaluation showed an improvement of 40% while patient based assessment found an improvement of 62% in skin texture and cellulite reduction.

Significant visual improvement was witnessed in 50% subjects while improvements in skin texture were noticeable in 51% patients. All patients reported an increase in skin contraction because of the treatment. Skin tightening and reduction in laxity was noticed by both patients and physicians.

VelaShape II Treatment

The treatment provider will apply a lubricating spray on the targeted love handle areas prior to the treatment. VelaShape II feels like getting a deep tissue massage or an intense workout. Many patients tend to fall asleep because of the relaxing massage. You can ask the treatment provider to alter the settings if you feel discomfort.

Higher settings tend to be more effective though. Few people experience temporary redness aside from the mildly hot sensation. Bruising is also possible, which gets reabsorbed by the body within a few days. You can resume your regular routine, including sports activities immediately after the session.

You may notice an increase in your urination frequency and output. This is because you would be required to increase the amount of your fluid intake.

Neck Fat Removal

VelaShape II is a non-invasive contouring treatment that slims and shapes the body by reducing circumference and improving cellulite production. VelaShape II combines infrared (IR), bi-polar radiofrequency, and vacuum technologies to promote cellular metabolism, lymphatic drainage, circulation, and collagen production by heating fat cells (adipocytes).

All these measures help in reducing skin laxity by enhancing skin appearance. VelaShape II helps in achieving a contoured, toned and well-shaped body and neck in three typical treatment sessions. There is a single treatment protocol available as well. You can feel more youthful with dramatic results and zero downtime or discomfort.

Choose an experienced treatment provider with dedicated expertise and advanced technologies for your procedure. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides non-surgical neck fat reduction treatments to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities.

Understanding VelaShape II

VelaShape II fat reduction is a body contouring treatment that reduces cellulite and circumference in a non-invasive manner. It enables you to achieve a contoured, toned, and well-shaped body in three typical treatment sessions. Patients enjoy dramatic improvements in their body with combined infrared (IR), bi-polar radiofrequency, and vacuum technology. There is no significant discomfort or downtime associated with the technology.

Technology behind VelaShape II

VelaShape II technology is a unique combination of bi-polar radio frequency energy, infrared light, and vacuum for heating fat cells in the deeper skin layers. It surrounds connective tissue and underlying dermal collagen fibers. New and better elastin and collagen growth is stimulated with the device. This results in the reduction of body volume, skin laxity while improving the overall appearance of skin texture and structure.

Ideal Candidacy for VelaShape II

VelaShape II provides gradual and cumulative results. It should not be confused with weight loss treatments. It uses a combination of revolutionary technologies for contouring the body and reducing stubborn spots where exercise and diet cannot reach.

Ideal VelaShape II candidate would be someone with a Body Mass Index of less than 30. People falling under the Nurnberger-Muller Cellulite Classification Stage 1 and 2 are usually recommended to undergo this treatment.

How Does VelaShape II Work?

VelaShape II technology combines bi-polar radio frequency energy, infrared light, and vacuum to heat fat cells at the deeper layers. It also heats underlying dermal collagen fibers and surrounding connective tissue. Growth of new and better elastin and collagen is stimulated with this type of efficient vacuuming and heating. The results are localized reduction in body volume, skin laxity, and an overall improvement in the appearance of skin texture and structure.

VelaShape II Requires Zero Downtime

VelaShape treatment sessions have zero recovery time associated with them. Patients can return to normal activity after the procedure. However, few patients experience mild side effects such as bruising and redness that is temporary in nature.

After care instructions:

  • Avoid sugars and refined carbs
  • Drink 8 or more glasses of water
  • Engage in 30 minutes of cardio
  • Eat lean proteins, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables
  • Limit caffeine, alcohol, and salt
