At Bedford Skin Clinic, we offer UltraShape and VelaShape for body contouring and treatment of cellulite. UltraShape uses ultrasound to selectively destroy fat cells without damaging the surrounding structures such as blood vessels and nerves. VelaShape combines different technologies; Infrared and radio frequency. These processes heat the tissues which in turn stimulates fibroblasts – a process that ultimately results in reduced skin laxity and improved texture. It also works via a suction/ massage effect that causes an immediate increase in circulation and lymphatic drainage thus helping to reduce the appearance of cellulite. UltraShape selectively destroys fat calls in areas like the abdomen, flanks and thighs. VelaShape offers full body circumference reduction and reduction of cellulite. The two treatments complement each other well and when used together optimal results are achieved. Research has demonstrated that a 3.2cm reduction of fat tissue can be achieved following a single combined treatment. However please be aware that effects can vary from client to client. No adverse effects are usually experienced. There is no downtime and clients can resume their normal activities immediately following treatment. Best results are achieved by having a course of treatment over six weeks (three UltraShape and six VelaShape treatments).
