VelaShape™ Frequently Asked Questions

 

How does VelaShape™ work?
VelaShape™ uses combined energies known as elōs™ to precisely target and heat fatty tissues within the treatment area. In addition, the vacuum and tissue manipulation evens out the skin to reveal a smoother figure.

 

On what body areas can I be treated for Circumference Reduction?
