Welcome back to The NB Edit – your insider guide to treatments, results, and aesthetic wellness at Newport Beach MedSpa. Today, we’re diving into one of the most effective, no-downtime body contouring treatments available: VelaShape III.
VelaShape III is known for delivering great results with minimal downtime, making it an ideal choice for those seeking efficient and effective body contouring. If you’ve struggled with stubborn cellulite, loose skin, or areas that just don’t respond to diet and exercise, you’re not alone. These are some of the most common concerns we hear in consultations — and VelaShape III remains one of our go-to solutions because it delivers consistent, visible smoothing and tightening without discomfort or recovery time.
The treatment is also a relaxing experience, often compared to a soothing massage. Let’s break it down.
What Is VelaShape III?
VelaShape III is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive body contouring device that combines infrared light, bi-polar radiofrequency energy, vacuum technology, and mechanical massage to improve cellulite, tighten skin, and contour the body. This state-of-the-art device features real-time sensors and advanced technology to deliver precise, comfortable treatments. Unlike treatments that target only fat or only skin, VelaShape III treats the entire tissue layer — skin, fat cells, and connective fibers — making it a powerful all-in-one smoothing treatment. Most popular treatment areas include:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Flanks
- Upper arms
The device is designed for localized reduction and circumferential reduction in these areas, effectively targeting specific regions for improved skin firmness, contour, and cellulite reduction. Patients love it because results are gradual, natural, and noticeable.
How VelaShape III Works
- The magic of VelaShape III lies in its combination approach:
- Infrared Light (IR): Gently warms the top layers of the skin to improve texture.
- Bi-Polar RF (radiofrequency): Utilizes advanced bi-polar RF technology to heat deeper layers, stimulating collagen production and reducing fat cell volume.
- Vacuum Suction: Lifts and stretches the tissue to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage.
- Mechanical Massage Rollers: Smooth and break up the fibrous bands that cause cellulite dimpling.
Together, these technologies stimulate collagen production, leading to improved skin firmness, tone, and texture. The treatment time is efficient, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly.
Benefits of VelaShape III
Patients typically notice:
- Reduced appearance of cellulite
- Smoother, tighter skin
- More contoured body lines
- Improved elasticity
- Reduction in “lumpy” or uneven texture
- More confidence in shorts, dresses, and swimwear
- Many patients experience a reduction in dress size
- Younger-looking skin
Results build with each session as collagen continues to remodel and fat cells shrink. VelaShape III often requires fewer treatment sessions to achieve optimal results compared to other treatments.
Cellulite Treatment with VelaShape III
When it comes to reducing cellulite and achieving smoother skin, VelaShape III stands out as a leading non-invasive procedure. This advanced cellulite treatment uses a powerful combination of infrared light, radio frequency, and pulsed vacuum technology to target stubborn fatty tissues beneath the skin’s surface. By delivering controlled heat and gentle suction, VelaShape III helps break down fat cells and encourages lymphatic drainage, which is essential for flushing out toxins and reducing fluid retention in the treated area.
The synergy of these technologies not only improves circulation but also supports the body’s natural processes for cellulite reduction. As the treatment works to shrink fat cells and smooth out uneven skin texture, many patients notice a visible improvement in the appearance of cellulite after just a few sessions. The procedure is comfortable, requires no downtime, and is suitable for various skin types, making it an ideal choice for those seeking optimal results without surgery.
With VelaShape III, you can expect a noticeable reduction in cellulite and a more contoured, smoother skin appearance. Whether you’re looking to treat your thighs, buttocks, or other problem areas, this non-invasive cellulite treatment offers a safe and effective way to achieve your body goals and enjoy renewed confidence.
Who Is VelaShape III Best For?
VelaShape III is ideal for:
- Mild to moderate cellulite
- Post-weight-loss skin laxity
- Those wanting smoother thighs, stomach, or buttocks
- Women preparing for vacations, events, or photos
- Patients who want results without needles, downtime, or discomfort
- Anyone frustrated with stubborn areas that don’t budge even with diet/exercise
Most people are considered good candidates for VelaShape III, regardless of body type. The treatment is suitable for those who desire smoother, more contoured bodies. It’s also ideal for individuals who prefer natural-looking enhancements over dramatic, surgical alterations.
How VelaShape III Pairs With Other Treatments
This treatment plays extremely well with others. In fact, combining procedures often leads to the best outcomes, as multiple non-invasive body contouring procedures can be used together for enhanced results:
- CoolSculpting Elite: Reduces fat while VelaShape III smooths and tightens the treated area.
- Semaglutide/Tirzepatide Weight Loss Programs: Helps tighten loose skin and contour as the body slims.
- RF Microneedling: Creates additional skin tightening for the stomach or arms.
- Lymphatic Treatments or Massage: Enhances detoxification and fluid drainage after VelaShape III.
Your provider can create a customized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs and primary concern, whether it is cellulite, loose skin, or body contouring.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Expecting surgical-level fat loss
- Getting only one session (VelaShape III works best in a series; a series of sessions is typically recommended for optimal results)
- Not staying hydrated — hydration improves outcomes
- Scheduling too close to an event before completing your series
- Assuming it works the same as CoolSculpting (totally different technologies)
To maintain your results, it is important to follow a healthy diet and stay active. This helps prolong the effects of the treatment and supports overall skin firmness and body contouring.
VelaShape III is a smoothing, tightening, contouring treatment — not a replacement for fat-freezing or surgery.
When Will You See Results?
Most patients undergoing VelaShape treatments notice:
- Smoother texture after 1–2 sessions
- Visible cellulite reduction by 3–4 sessions
- Tighter, firmer skin over several weeks
- Continued improvement as collagen rebuilds
Results are most noticeable in the treated areas, such as the thighs, abdomen, flanks, and upper arms. The treatment helps rid these areas of stubborn fat and cellulite that are resistant to diet and exercise.
A full series is recommended for best results, along with maintenance sessions as needed.
