I believe it helps get rid of fat. If you have tried, did it work? How soon did u see results and does it last? Any information is appreciated.

I have an appt. to get velashape next week..........4 treatments for 3 grand!! Decided against it because in the consultation I was told that it may last about 8 month and you also need maintenance............................I've searched the net and haven't found any sucess stories(many) ........................decided to wait until I know a little more!Let us know if you decide to do it as I'm sure a lot of people would be interested...............and good luck !!

VelaShape™ enables you to comfortably and safely achieve a toned, contoured and well shaped body in as few as 4 treatment sessions; making you look and feel youthful. Most patients see gradual and cumulative results throughout the treatment regime. Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first treatment - with the skin surface of the treated area feeling smoother, firmer and tighter. Results in Circumference and Cellulite Reduction will be most apparent 6-8 weeks following the final treatment session. In clinical studies, patients report an average reduction of about 1 inch post treatment series. In clinical trials, the range of Circumferential Reduction was between 0.5-3 inches.

I have 2 locations in Chicago area, I have started with Velasmmoth first, then we upgraded to Velashape, I have been using Velashape since it has been cleared, defiantly it work in both cellulite, and body reshape, but the problem we are facing is we have to keep doing treatment on regular base every 3 to 4 weeks after the initial 8 sessions. This is a major impact on the patient and the physician.
