VelaShape is a series of three-generation non-invasive body shaping devices certified by the FDA (US government agency) confirming the effectiveness of reducing body circumference and cellulite. They are used by celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore, Madonna, Kim Kardashian.
VelaShape allows you to reduce the circumference of the body (e.g. hips, thighs or waist) by up to 7 cm, but also remove burdensome rolls on the back, armpits, under the breasts and even on the chin after 4 - 6 treatments. VelaShape is also a proven way to reduce cellulite and improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin of the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and arms.
ELOS TECHNOLOGY - THE KEY TO SUCCESS
VelaShape utilizes advanced ELOS (Electro-Optical Synergy) technology, which combines infrared light (IR) energy with bipolar radio frequency (RF) waves. The synergy of these two energy sources allows for simultaneous and deep tissue heating – up to 15 mm deep into the skin – leading to intense metabolic stimulation, cellulite reduction, fat cell emptying, and significant skin firming and tightening. ELOS is a solution that works not only on the surface but also in the deeper layers of the skin and fatty tissue – where other methods often fall short.
How does ELOS technology work?
Infrared Light (IR)
- Gently and evenly heats the skin, improving microcirculation
- Enhances tissue elasticity, preparing it for further stimulation
- Facilitates the penetration of RF energy deep into the skin
Bipolar Radio Frequency (RF)
- Penetrates deeply into the skin, raising the temperature of the fatty tissue
- Activates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin – firming and tightening the skin
- Speeds up cellular metabolism, aiding in the process of lipolysis and fat tissue reduction
The combination of light and RF energy in ELOS technology produces an effect that is difficult to achieve with other methods – smoothed, firm skin and a visibly sculpted silhouette, without pain and non-invasively. This technology is the cornerstone of the effectiveness of VelaShape treatments.
ENDODERMAL MASSAGE - STRONG SUPPORT FOR ELOS TECHNOLOGY
The treatment is performed using the same headpiece, which combines two actions simultaneously: intense subpressure massage and mechanically driven rollers. This combination helps to smooth the skin and improve its elasticity, as well as enhance the structure of connective tissue fibers, resulting in cellulite reduction.
How do these technologies work?
Vacuum Massage
- Increases blood and lymph circulation, aiding in detoxifying the body.
- Facilitates the elimination of metabolic by-products and accumulated toxins.
- Improves skin tone, firming problematic areas.
Mechanical Massage (Rollers)
- Mechanically stimulates the skin and deep tissues, breaking down cellulite.
- Reduces swelling and improves lymphatic flow.
- Contours the silhouette, facilitating the reduction of fatty tissue.
The combination of these technologies makes VelaShape a comprehensive solution that not only reduces fat tissue and cellulite but also improves skin firmness and condition.
VelaShape II is the only non-invasive device with FDA certification (US government agency) confirming its effectiveness in body contouring, skin tightening, and cellulite reduction. The FDA certification confirms that the device has undergone rigorous clinical trials, which have demonstrated its effectiveness in slimming the silhouette, improving skin tone, and eliminating cellulite-induced irregularities. By combining radio frequencies, infrared technology, and vacuum massage, VelaShape effectively reduces body circumference, smooths the skin, improves its elasticity, and visible results can be seen after just a few treatments.
VelaShape III is the latest device by Syneron Medical for non-invasive body contouring. It combines cutting-edge technological solutions with 10 years of experience from millions of treatments performed using the three previous generations of VelaShape devices worldwide. VelaShape III incorporates the modern elos+ technology, which combines advanced radiofrequency, infrared, and vacuum massage in one device, ensuring even deeper and more effective results. With enhanced applicators and increased device power, the treatment is faster, and results are more visible even after the first session.
Expert opinion

When patients ask me if there is a treatment that can simultaneously slim, tighten, and improve the quality of the skin without the need for recovery time - I usually answer with one word: VelaShape. It is a technology that combines four effective stimuli in one therapy: infrared, radio waves, vacuum massage, and mechanical drainage. But instead of focusing on the technique, I prefer to talk about what really matters - the effects.
From my experience, VelaShape works perfectly for individuals who, despite diet and physical activity, struggle with locally stubborn fat tissue, cellulite, or skin laxity. Most often, these are areas such as thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and arms - places where the body "holds onto" reserves the longest, and where the skin loses firmness the quickest. And it is precisely in these areas that VelaShape makes a difference. After a few sessions, we see significant slimming, improvement in skin tightness, reduction in "dimpling," and smoothing of cellulite areas. Importantly - not only does the body's appearance change, but also the way women feel in it.
As a physiotherapist, I place great importance on working with the body in harmony with its natural mechanisms. VelaShape does not disrupt tissue balance - on the contrary, it stimulates them to regenerate and rebuild. As a result, the effects are not only visible but also well-tolerated by the body, even in sensitive areas.
The treatment works great both as a standalone therapy and as part of a broader body work plan - especially during periods of significant changes, such as post-pregnancy or during menopause, when the skin and silhouette need effective yet gentle support.
If your goal is a real improvement in body shape, non-invasively and with respect for the biology of your body - VelaShape is a solution that is definitely worth considering.
