The Science Behind Body Contouring with Skin Tightening
January 17th, 2018

Ageing and weight loss are two key contributors to loose or sagging skin. As we age, our skin loses elasticity as the collagen and elastin becomes weaker and production of new cells slows. Following weight loss, the skin may not entirely shrink back if it has been over-stretched or stretched for a long period of time.
Syneron-Candela has created innovative technology, the VelaShape III, that stimulates your body to produce new collagen and elastin to smooth and tighten skin with the added benefit of body contouring.
The Science Behind VelaShape III
VelaShape is an entirely unique device as it’s the only one of its kind that offers body contouring, non-surgical liposuction, cellulite reduction and skin tightening. It has been proven effective in numerous clinical trials worldwide and is FDA approved.
The VelaShape is an innovative device that combines bi-polar radio frequency (RF), intense infrared light (IR) and mechanical massage and suction for the safe and effective body sculpting and treatment of cellulite with skin tightening. The four-part system triggers your body to naturally produce new collagen and elastin for noticeable and long-term results.
A program of 4 treatments spaced two weeks apart is recommended for optimal body contouring, cellulite reduction and skin tightening.
