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.
What Is VelaShape?
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
How VelaShape Works
VelaShape works by combining heat energy with mechanical stimulation to remodel tissue beneath the skin.
1. Heating the Skin and Fat Layers
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
2. Breaking Down Cellulite
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
3. Enhancing Circulation and Detoxification
The mechanical massage improves blood flow and helps the body naturally eliminate excess fluids and metabolic waste, contributing to a more sculpted appearance.
4. Collagen Remodeling
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.
What Areas Can VelaShape Treat?
VelaShape is highly versatile and can be used on many areas of the body where cellulite and stubborn fat are common.
Common treatment areas include:
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.

VelaShape has been widely studied and is considered a safe and effective option for body contouring.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your VelaShape experience begins with a personalized consultation at The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center. Your provider will evaluate your concerns, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan.
During Your Session
A handheld device is applied to the treatment area
You will feel a gentle suction and warming sensation
The provider moves the device across the skin to ensure even treatment
Sessions typically last between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
After Your Treatment
You may experience mild redness or warmth
There is no downtime
You can return to work or daily activities immediately
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
VelaShape results are gradual and cumulative, meaning multiple sessions are recommended for optimal outcomes.
Most patients benefit from:
A series of 3 to 6 treatments
Weekly sessions during the initial phase
Your provider will customize your plan based on your goals, the treatment area, and your body’s response.
When Will You See Results?
Many patients begin to notice improvements after a few sessions, with optimal results appearing several weeks after completing the full treatment series.
Expected improvements include:
Smoother skin texture
Reduced appearance of cellulite
Slight reduction in circumference
Firmer, tighter skin
Because collagen production takes time, your results will continue to improve even after your treatments are complete.
How Long Do Results Last?
VelaShape results typically last several months, depending on your lifestyle and maintenance plan.
To maintain your results, we recommend:
Periodic maintenance treatments
Staying active with regular exercise
Maintaining a healthy diet
Staying hydrated
With proper care, you can enjoy long-lasting improvements in your body contours and skin quality.
