If you are struggling with stubborn cellulite, loose skin, or areas that do not respond to diet and exercise, you are not alone. Even with a healthy lifestyle, many people find that certain areas of the body hold onto fat or develop dimpling that affects confidence.
At The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, VelaShape offers a powerful, non-invasive solution to help you achieve smoother, firmer, and more contoured skin without surgery or downtime. This advanced body contouring treatment is designed to target cellulite, tighten skin, and enhance your natural shape using cutting-edge technology.
Whether you want to refine your abdomen, smooth your thighs, or tone your arms, VelaShape provides a comfortable and effective way to elevate your results.
VelaShape is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical body contouring treatment that reduces the appearance of cellulite while improving skin tone and texture.
Unlike traditional treatments that rely on a single method, VelaShape uses a combination of technologies to address multiple layers of the skin at once. These include:
Infrared light
Bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy
Mechanical massage
Gentle vacuum suction
This multi-modal approach allows VelaShape to effectively target the root causes of cellulite and skin laxity, delivering noticeable improvements without invasive procedures.
At The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center, VelaShape is used to help patients:
Reduce cellulite
Tighten loose or sagging skin
Smooth uneven texture
Contour stubborn areas of fat
Enhance overall body shape
VelaShape works by combining heat energy with mechanical stimulation to remodel tissue beneath the skin.
Radiofrequency and infrared energy penetrate deep into the skin, heating both the dermis and underlying fat cells. This heat:
Stimulates collagen and elastin production
Improves skin elasticity
Encourages fat cells to shrink
Cellulite forms when fibrous bands beneath the skin pull downward, creating a dimpled appearance. The vacuum and massage components of VelaShape help:
Stretch and relax these fibrous bands
Smooth the surface of the skin
Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage
The mechanical massage improves blood flow and helps the body naturally eliminate excess fluids and metabolic waste, contributing to a more sculpted appearance.
Over time, increased collagen production leads to firmer, tighter skin with improved texture and tone.
The result is a comprehensive treatment that addresses both the surface and underlying causes of cellulite and skin laxity.
VelaShape is highly versatile and can be used on many areas of the body where cellulite and stubborn fat are common.
Abdomen
Thighs (inner and outer)
Buttocks
Love handles (flanks)
Upper arms
Back and bra bulge
Under the chin
These areas are often resistant to diet and exercise, making VelaShape an excellent complement to a healthy lifestyle.
Patients at The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center choose VelaShape because it delivers noticeable improvements without surgery or downtime.
