Ladies, have you ever looked at your skin and noticed that it has some creases or dimple-like features, especially on the thighs or bottom? Do they make you feel insecure or less confident about yourself? Have you felt that you would feel much better if you had a way to control or erase them? If you are in such a fit, Avané Clinic has some good news. We bring a solution for your cellulite trepidations near you, through our safe and affordable body contouring procedures.
Body contouring is a non-invasive procedure that is meant to improve the skin’s appearance and reshape or contour certain areas of the body. It may be used to discard excess fat and do away with extra skin.
At Avané Clinic, we understand the distress that is associated with cellulite, and we offer a worthwhile remedy for this. Using body contouring via Velashape treatment, we help you get rid of this insecurity and restore normal skin.
Cellulites are the dimples that form on the skin, as result of fat accumulation in the body. The body is made up of connective fibrous bands, called septa that run vertically between the skin and fascia. The bands collect fat particles and bundle them together. The collagen fibres harden as a response to hormonal changes, pulling the skin down and squeezes the fat until it bulges out of these pouches forming dimples and pits on the skin’s surface. According to studies, 90% of women globally have cellulites, making it one of the most common conditions all over the world.
Velashape is a non-invasive treatment, that uses a velashape machine and employs a combination of four techniques, namely: infrared light, bipolar radiofrequencies (RF) energy, gentle suction and mechanical massage, for reduction of cellulite and circumference on the thighs, upper arms and abdomen. It is also used on buttocks. The suction helps to bring the skin closer to the energy source inside the hand-held velashape device. The massage helps to relax and stretch the hardened fibrous bands under the skin, while the infrared and RF energy are concentrated on the section under treatment to heat the skin and tighten tissues around the part. This shrinks the fat cells and, in some cases, they may even die. The heat used reduces skin flaccidness, by strengthening the intrinsic collagen fibers while revitalizing production of collagen and elasticin, which builds more firmness and elasticity on the skin over time.
Avané Clinic is committed to providing our clients with the best, most effective and safest practices in the world. Velashape is a clinically tested and FDA approved procedure to be used for medical purposes. An article in the International Journal of Women’s Dermatology published in 2018 discussed the results from several researches done on the use of velashape to treat cellulite and concluded that it is a highly effective method of treatment.
If you are wondering if you would make a good candidate for velashape treatment, the procedure is most suited for persons with the right weight and a Body mass Index (BMI) of less than 30. The individuals should also have mild to moderate cellulite. Pregnant and lactating mothers as well as people using pacemakers or implanted automatic defibrillators do not qualify for velashape treatment.
We recommend that our potential clients to pay us a visit and consult with our medics as they are well versed with the treatment and will help the individuals know if velashape is the best method for them. We advise the clients on other alternative means such as coolscaping which are also effective and available at our clinic. With all facts explained and the patient settling on a decision, our specialists offer advice on the expectations and guide the patient on necessary preparatory measures such as hydrating and shaving of hair present on the areas to be treated. This helps reduce hair being tugged by the suction and hydrating helps in the effectiveness of the procedure since infrared energy travels better on more fluid surfaces. We require our clients to sign a consent form to declare their authorization for the procedure to be done. Moreover, our medics advice the client on the payment policies such as regulations regarding insurance covers and bank transfers.
Velashape body contouring has many benefits such as reduction of the appearance of cellulites, reduced circumference of the thighs, abdomen or upper arm and development of a smoother and firmer skin due to stimulation of collagen regeneration. The procedure is non-invasive which means no incisions are made, and reduces the risk of surgical impediments and infection. The procedure is safe and almost painless, done under the care of highly trained and dedicated specialists. Moreover, it is done within a few minutes, hence suitable for patients with busy schedules. Better still, it has no downtime and one can go back to their normal routines as early as possible.
However, the procedure has minor side effects such as redness, bruising and at times burning of the skin on areas that have been treated.
Despite its highly effective nature, Velashape treatment is neither permanent nor a onetime procedure as one has to maintain several follow up sessions and subsequent procedures for about 4-6 weeks, each promising better results than the preceding one. The results cannot be seen immediately as the body takes time to do away with the unwanted fat. Moreover, the patient is advised to do constant exercise and lead a healthy lifestyle so as to maintain the after-looks of velashape treatment.
