Mastering Body Treatments: The all new VelaShape III Worldwide, men and women are becoming increasingly aware of their body image. Body contouring and fat reduction have become buzz words and as demand for these treatments increases, so too do the options available for both invasive and non-invasive treatments. Patients often present with multiple body concerns, ranging from localised stubborn fatty deposits to skin laxity, cellulite, and
Liposuction has been the most commonly performed invasive solution to unwanted fat and body contouring, however it does not address the other issues patients present cost and downtime to the patient as well as the usual risks accompanying any invasive surgical procedure. For these reasons and more, many patients wish to avoid surgical intervention and instead look to non-invasive body shaping and fat reduction treatments that are more affordable, and offer little or no downtime. VelaShape has already proved itself to be extremely successful at body contouring and treating cellulite, loose skin, and localised fat deposits. With over 35 million treatments world wide and more published studies than any other medical body shaping been proven. It is the only device on the market to combine 4 modalities (pulsed vacuum, bi-polar radio-frequency, infrared light and mechanical massage) for a total body shaping and contouring solution. The infra red focuses on the dermis providing immediate collagen contraction while frequency going deeper and concentrating on the hypodermis through controlled thermal stress. The massage and vacuum offer lymphatic drainage and increased circulation by promoting neocollagenesis by imposing mechanical stress on dermal
www.syneron-candela.co.uk
contraction enriches and strengthens loose connective tissue. All of these combined improvements in cellulite, body shaping and skin laxity.
VelaShape III is the third generation of body contouring device by Syneron Candela offering an increase in energy consistent, reproducible results in fewer treatment sessions as well as a sleek new design. VelaShape III is CE marked for body contouring and FDA cleared for circumferential reduction of the abdomen and thighs. So what’s new? There’s an increase in radio frequency power of up to 150W, which means the end point is achieved much faster and this in turn reduces treatment time. Due to the higher energy density the tissue heating is improved and therefore fewer treatments are required to achieve an optimal result. There is the option to offer anything from a VelaShape Once treatment (one treatment to give a circumferential reduction) to a 3 or 6 treatment protocol, so model and patient schedule is greater. The device itself is 60% smaller than the previous model and has been completely redesigned, allowing the operator to sit or stand during treatment and use the new foot pedal to reduce operator strain.
Also featured in the new VelaShape III is a closed loop RF mechanism and inbuilt temperature sensor to allow consistent RF delivery and better monitoring of tissue. This allows for a more comfortable and precise treatment for each patient. The new state of the art interface is user friendly and allows treatment parameters to be set quickly and easily.
With 3 cover sizes, large, medium and small, you can now treat most body parts optimally and with greater versatility. The new Stacking Mode Clinical Protocol optimizes treatment of localised fat deposits giving a reduction of between 2-4cm in as few as 3 treatments.
VelaShape III demonstrated a 2cm reduction in abdomen and over 1.5cm reduction of thighs , and post-partum patients showed an average measured reduction of 10% in the treated area with a 97% reported patient satisfaction. Already VelaShape III is making waves in the non-invasive body shaping industry, having won the 2013 Anti-Aging and Beauty Trophy at AMEC in the category of ‘non-invasive body shaping technologies’. VelaShape is the most recognized non-invasive body shaping treatment globally and VelaShape III looks to revolutionize the market further.

VelaShape III Clinical Evaluation on the Efficacy and Safety of the VelaShape III Device for Abdominal Circumferential Reduction Treatments By Ruthie Amir MD
Background An ever-growing patient demand for non-invasive body-shaping procedures has led to the development of many different technologies and techniques that can achieve a more aesthetic body shape. The VelaShape III (Syneron Medical Ltd.) system is a noninvasive aesthetic body shaping device. VelaShape technology was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the temporary reduction in the circumference of the abdomen. This clearance was based on a multicenter clinical trial conducted in the United States. In parallel, the performance of the VelaShape III device was assessed in terms of its safety, efficacy and patient comfort at an additional clinical site outside of the U.S. The data was used to further support the device’s clinical trial results. This paper presents the data and results from the VelaShape III clinical trial performed at this site.
Objective The evaluation of the safety, efficacy and patient tolerability of the VelaShape III device, for the noninvasive treatment of excess fat in the abdominal region manifested by circumferential reduction.
were measured at baseline and at each follow-up visit. Followed by comparisons at the end of the clinical trial. Treatment safety was assessed by the frequency, severity and type of adverse events.
“Significant circumference reductions in the abdominal area were observed already at the 4-week follow-up, and remained significant throughout the assessment period.”
Results Significant circumference reductions in the abdominal area were observed already at the 4-week follow-up, and remained significant throughout the assessment period. Moreover, the average circumference reductions increased throughout the course of the study, and were 0.8±2.3 cm, 1.8±2.0 cm and 2.6±1.0 cm, at 4, 7 and 10 weeks, respectively. No adverse events were seen throughout the study period.
Conclusion The clinical data presented here supports both the safety and efficacy of the VelaShape III system for the treatment indication of temporary reduction in circumference of the abdomen. To read the full paper please click here.
Methods Forty-two female patients received one single treatment with the VelaShape III device on the abdominal region, which were followed-up at 4, 7 and 10 weeks post-procedure. Clinical photographs were taken. Patient circumferences

During the clinical trials, I found that I reached the endpoint treatment much quicker, which allowed me to spend more time in sustaining the temperature longer to achieve maximum results. Even with the higher energy the treatment was still very comfortable for our patients with no downtime.
The most important features in a body shaping device are reproducible results, safety, and patient satisfaction which is why VelaShape III is a reliable part of my body shaping armamentarium. PRIME October 2013

Lori Brightman MD
Effective body treatments in just one session are difficult to come by... but an instant result? That’s unprecedented. Our patients have an an immediate wow effect that’s like wearing a spanx, only better. We achieve on average between 2-3 cm instant reduction after just one treatment on the abdomen. We look forward to evaluating out patients’ longer term results.
