Up until fairly recently, body contouring meant invasive procedures, such as liposuction and tummy tucks. While these are still the go-to procedures for radical changes, those seeking a more moderate difference can achieve a new look without the need for surgery. Options such as UltraShape® Power and VelaShape III deliver non-invasive body contouring without the need for a recovery period.
UltraShape
UltraShape uses pulsed focused ultrasound technology to precisely target fat cells and destroy them. This energy is gentle and does not rely on heat, leaving the blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue undamaged. UltraShape also incorporates Vertical Dynamic Focus (VDF) transducer technology, allowing the treatment to impact fat cells at multiple depths with one pulse.
Once treated, the walls of the fat cells are destroyed and turned into triglycerides. These are then eliminated through the liver.
If you are looking for an improved body tone in a matter of weeks, non-invasive procedures without a recovery period are ideal.
VelaShape
VelaShape is a more complex body contouring system, using infrared light, bi-polar radiofrequency, energy and vacuum technology. Together, these heat the fat cells, connective tissue and collagen fibers. The combined effects destroy and eliminate fat cells while also building collagen and elastin in the targeted area, reducing skin laxity and improve structure. It can also address cellulite, which is a major benefit for those looking to be beach-body ready.
When comparing UltraShape vs. VelaShape, neither is inherently better than the other. It all comes down to what your goals are. To learn more about these treatments, schedule a consultation. Call the office at 303-345-7476 or reach out through our contact form.
