San Jose Cellulite VelaShape Treatment FAQs

As the weather heats up, shorts, skirts and bathing suits loom in the near future.  But what do you do if you’ve got cellulite or stubborn areas of fat on your body despite eating right and working out?  At Blu Cocoon in San Jose, VelaShape Body Contouring treatments may be the answer to your problem.

What is VelaShape?

VelaShape is the only FDA cleared device that effectively shapes and slims the body with no downtime. VelaShape Cellulite Treatment features the unique elōs™ technology combination of Bi-polar RadioFrequency, Infrared Light Energy plus vacuum and mechanical massage to deploy targeted heat to adipose tissue.

How does VelaShape work?
The technology of VelaShape increases lymphatic drainage and reduces or shrinks the size of actual fat cells and fat chambers.  This results in the gradual smoothing of skin’s surface with a noticeable cellulite reduction and, often, a circumferential reduction as well.

What areas does VelaShape treat?
VelaShape is not a weight loss treatment, but rather a “spot treatment” for those problem areas that just won’t reduce despite consistent exercise and a healthy diet. The treatment is great for inner and outer thighs, buttocks, hips, abdomen, saddlebags, and love handles.

When will I see results from my VelaShape treatment?
We have clients that see results in four treatment sessions but this varies from person to person. Weekly treatments are recommended to get the best result.

How do I know if I am a candidate for a VelaShape treatment?
The ideal candidate is someone with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of less than 30 who has Stage 1 or Stage 2 Cellulite (according to the Nurnberger-Muller cellulite classification schedule). Stage 1 is no dimpling while standing or lying down, but pinching of the skin reveals an “orange peel” appearance. Stage 2 is “orange peel” dimpling that appears spontaneously when standing up, but not when lying down.

Do VelaShape treatments hurt?
No. They are virtually painless with not downtime. They are safe and effective. Clients can return to daily activities immediately after following the treatment.
