Endermology and VelaShape

There is some evidence to suggest that performing a course of endermology on the treated area, starting four weeks after the procedure, leads to better looking results.

Endermology massages the treated area, helping smooth the tissue as it remodels and also improving the lymphatic drainage. We usually recommend a course of 10 to 12 treatments, performed twice a week to get optimal results.

More recently, VelaShape has been introduced. Similar to Endermology, the VelaShape not only massages the area with suction, it also passes Radiofrequency current through the skin and uses infra-reed to heat and to tighten it. VelaShape can be used earlier after Laser Lipolysis and now has become our post-operative procedure of choice.

Final result

After three to six months, you should be seeing the final result of your treatment.

The skin should have contracted down over the area that the fat has been moved from, and you should be left with a smooth contour, leaving you with your desired shape.

In those 3 - 6 months, it is possible that some people will have put on more weight and this can worsen the result. As such it is essential that in the postoperative period, you are careful what you eat and that you exercise regularly.

Sometimes there needs to be further treatment either in the area of initial treatment or elsewhere. Such extra treatments can be started a minimum of three months after the first treatment.
