Get In TouchSmooth skin and a toned physique are commonly sought by those who associate these features with youthfulness and physical beauty. However, for many women, the appearance of cellulite hinders those aesthetic goals. Cellulite is a condition that affects more than 80 percent of women. This dimpling forms when fat pockets that resist diet and exercise push through the connective tissue and get locked in between the tissue and your skin. While cellulite is physically harmless, it can be bothersome and damage one’s self-esteem. Treatment with FDA-approved VelaShape® III can minimize the appearance of cellulite and give you the smoother, firmer skin you desire.
Achieved With VelaShape® III
Cellulite Removal
VelaShape® III uses a combination of infrared and radiofrequency energies (known as elōs™ technology) to heat the underlying fat cells and their surrounding tissues. This process improves skin texture by reducing the appearance and formation of cellulite.
Smoother Skin
VelaShape® III has two applicators designed to smooth, firm, and tighten skin on large and small areas of the body. This non-invasive treatment safely and comfortably targets cellulite on the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, leaving you with a sexier, more defined physique.
Increased Confidence
Although cellulite is experienced by many individuals, its presence can still cause embarrassment and dissatisfaction. Treatment with VelaShape® III can slim and contour your body as well as increase your confidence while wearing shorts and bathing suits.
Addressing Your Concerns

VelaShape® III treatment requires no recovery and no downtime. Patients can resume work and their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Scars

Cost
The cost of VelaShape® III depends on the number of areas being treated as well as the number of sessions required to achieve the desired result. Dr. Chin and his staff will provide you with an accurate cost estimate during your consultation.
Pain
Treatments for VelaShape® III are noninvasive and comfortable. Most patients liken the feeling of the procedure to that of a deep tissue massage. In the hours following a VelaShape® III session, you may experience a warming sensation or slightly reddened skin. These side effects are both normal and temporary.
