In 2008, Say Goodbye to Cellulite

Cellulite Reduction Coupon

Have you stopped wearing styles you love because of cellulite and fatty deposits on your thighs, midriff or buttocks? If you have, you're not alone. Cellulite affects 80% of all women. Even young women and tall, thin women suffer.

Until now, medical science has been helpless against cellulite. Thankfully, 2008 will be the year we put all of that behind us.

Scientific Breakthrough - VelaShape

At last! Medical science has come up with the first FDA-approved technology for cellulite reduction and circumferential reduction.

Reduce Cellulite

Called VelaShape, it's a series of treatments that simultaneously smoothes out cellulite, tightens skin and contours the body. VelaShape combines radiofrequency and infrared energy with tissue mobilization to beat the cellulite monster and contour the body: clinical studies show most women losing about an inch in circumference on waist, thighs and hips.

It can be used on:

  • Thighs
  • Tummy
  • Buttocks

You can choose 2 areas for treatment.

How It Works

VelaShape blends radio frequency energy, infrared light, tissue mobilization and suction into a single treatment. The RF and light energies heat cells to a depth of 5 to 15 mm, loosening fat deposits and breaking up the structures that bind the epidermis into a mottled appearance (cellulite). The heated, loosened fat shrinks in size and exits the body through the lymphatic system (the body's natural system for ridding itself of toxins).

Before and After VelaShape

This structural remodeling happens during the treatment itself and afterwards. Radiofrequency and infrared energy stimulate the body's own elimination and healing mechanisms, which work deep inside the dermis during the entire course of treatment (normally 4 to 6 sessions) and beyond.

The result: long-term structural enhancement of the skin, plus improvement in the appearance of cellulite and fat pockets.

Start Now to Be Ready for Spring

With four to six treatments spaced a week apart, you'll be down a size and fitting into your favorite clothes within a few of months — just in time for a spring shopping spree!

Before and After VelaShape

How Soon Will I See Results?

  • Changes can be visible after the first treatment.
  • You'll be close to your desired results after your fourth session.
  • After the last treatment, skin tone and reducing continue to improve, with the best results emerging six to eight weeks later.

What Kind of Results Are Possible?

  • You can expect to lose from one-half to one-inch from all areas during your course of treatment.

What's a VelaShape treatment like?

You'll lie on a table for your treatment. We'll pass the VelaShape hand piece over the areas you want to improve. This may be repeated a number of times. You will feel a strong massaging action of the suction and possibly some warmth as the radio frequency penetrates to the fat layer in your skin.

Is this Treatment Right for Me?

Velashape works well on all skin types and colors. No side effects have been reported, short- or long-term, making it safe and effective for almost all women.

Plus, it's one of the most comfortable procedures we can offer our clients. Many women, in fact, have compared it to a warm, deep massage.

Will It Last?

Before and After VelaShape

As with most non-surgical cosmetic enhancements, maintenance treatments may be needed to keep your new contours in perfect shape. And, of course, the right diet and regular exercise is the best way to maintain your slim new look.

2008 — The Year of Change

If you've been bothered by dimpled, sagging skin, or if your silhouette has been slowly undergoing a "thickening" process, this is the year it will all change for you. Call us for a consultation. We'll show you the results we've achieved for others, and you can decide for yourself whether VelaShape is right for you.
