Reaching your goal weight is an exciting achievement, and you deserve to celebrate it fully. However, you may have lingering concerns about how your body looks after weight loss. If you’re unhappy with stubborn deposits of fat, body contouring might be the perfect solution.
At Bio-X Weight Loss Center in Round Rock and Austin, Texas, we only offer the best treatment systems. When it comes to body contouring, we love the VelaShape® III platform because it provides safe and effective results.
If you’re ready to refine the contours of your body after weight loss, these simple treatments can help you reach that goal.
VelaShape III, a body contouring system manufactured by Candela®, combines the power of multiple treatments into a single body contouring approach. That means you get the benefits of several treatments in one relatively short session.
VelaShape III uses infrared light to heat the outermost layers of skin, while radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers, where fat is stored.
Vacuum technology manipulates the skin to ensure the precise delivery of energy to the targeted tissue. This gentle suction also helps break apart cellulite and stimulates circulation.
The system also incorporates manual manipulation, which helps break apart the fatty deposits that create cellulite while also enhancing your lymphatic drainage. That’s the process your body uses to remove cell debris, toxins, and impurities.
The heat created during VelaShape III treatments is the primary driver of fat loss. During sessions, heat surrounds the targeted fat cells, damaging their walls and forcing them to release stored fat. Your body eliminates that fat through your lymphatic system.
Once destroyed, those fat cells are gone for good. That means fewer fat cells in the treated area and an overall reduction in volume after treatments.
VelaShape III uses advanced technology to monitor the heat generated at the surface level and the deeper layers of your skin throughout the treatment. There’s no risk of too much heat or damage to the surrounding tissues.
When considering body contouring, it helps to understand how your body stores and burns fat. You have millions of fat cells throughout your body, most of which exist in a thick layer in the deeper part of your skin.
When you eat, your body converts a portion of that food into fat, which gets stored in your fat cells. When your body needs more energy than it can get from the glucose in your blood, it taps into these fat cells for more fuel.
Fat cells can expand and contract as needed. So, although VelaShape III eliminates a portion of your fat cells, the remaining cells can grow and shrink as usual. That means your results could change if you consistently consume more calories than you burn.
VelaShape III is best suited for people who’ve reached their goal weight and can maintain that weight loss over time.
