| 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.
