There’s just no getting around it—women tend to have cellulite and stubborn fat that even the most persistent exercise has a difficult time tackling. Fortunately, Elegance Sculpting has the technology to ensure your hard work and healthy habits are getting noticed. Both UltraShape and VelaShape are advanced Syneron Candela technology that can help you achieve your ideal body; however, both work a little differently to do so. So which one is better? And can they be used together?

What is VelaShape?

VelaShape is the first ever FDA approved body contouring treatment that uses non-invasive technology to treat cellulite, a common orange peel appearance of the skin that 90 percent of women experience once in their lifetime. At Elegance Sculpting, we use Syneron Candela’s VelaShape III system trusted by the over 3.5 million patients who have been treated worldwide. The revolutionary elōs technology found in the VelaShape III combines both infrared (IR) light and bi-polar radiofrequency (RF) with vacuum technology to reach deep into the dermis and precisely heat the targeted tissue, improving the texture and look of skin over time.  

Treatments with VelaShape III are very comfortable—with most patients comparing the sensation to a deep tissue massage.  As VelaShape III is non-invasive, it is perfect for those with low pain thresholds and busy schedules. Most professionals recommend a 10-week treatment plan with three to six 15-minute sessions for dramatic results without downtime. VelaShape results can last up to a year post your final treatment without maintenance and much longer with. At Elegance Sculpting, we work with you to develop an effective plan to ensure you receive the results and confidence you’re looking for.

What is UltraShape?

UltraShape is a non-invasive treatment used to target and destroy stubborn body fat, ultimately reducing the skin’s circumference. UltraShape uses unique pulsed ultrasound technology to selectively reach areas of fat that will not seem to go away with diet and exercise alone. After the fat cells are destroyed by this technology, they pass through the body’s natural filtration system. The surrounding tissue is completely unharmed, leaving patients with no side effects. As this is non-invasive, here is no discomfort or pain during treatment and no redness or numbing post-treatment.  

At Elegance Sculpting, we recommend a series of three treatments spaced two weeks apart for optimal results. As fat cells do not grow back, your UltraShape treatment yields permanent results; however, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle of good nutrition and exercise to achieve and maintain optimal results. UltraShape clients can expect to see visible results after just two weeks. Often by the third treatment, clients lose two to three inches off their waist or drop approximately two dress sizes. UltraShape is not recommended for major weight loss; think of it as a helping hand that allows you to reach your final weight-loss goal.  

So, which is better?

To say that either UltraShape and VelaShape better than one other would be a great disservice to both of these amazing Syneron Candela treatments. Both technologies perform differently but achieve similar results: confidence from toned body. When combined together, UltraShape and VelaShape can help clients achieve maximal total body goals. For instance, if clients suffers from cellulite around the thighs, but also wants the area have a smaller circumference and look more contoured, combining the two advanced technologies is the perfect solution—VelaShape is perfect for reaching deep into the skin to reduce the look of cellulite and tighten the skin, while UltraShape is able to actually dissolve fat cells to reduce skin circumference. Together they are a force to be reckoned with, both offering noticeable results with minimal downtime.
