Contrary to the perfectly airbrushed images we often see rotate through our Instagram feeds or splayed across magazines while we stand in line at the grocery checkout, cellulite is (an admittedly annoying) but often unavoidable reality for women.
In fact, we’re actually more or less doomed to grapple with cellulite and stretch marks due to the way in which our skin’s collagen is arranged in parallel rows. This pattern allows for the compartmentalization of fat, which makes cellulite visible. Men’s collagen is arranged in an X-pattern which only creates very small fat compartments (and therefore doesn’t allow for the dimpling of the skin). Must be nice, eh? And for the record cellulite isn’t actually fat, it’s just the dimples and bumps that are seen when fat is divided into tiny pockets under the skin.
Of course, getting rid of cellulite is easier said than done. Since it’s not technically fat (but rather the effect of fat divided into tiny pockets) amping up your workout regime and cleaning up our diet often isn’t enough to effectively win this battle against dimpled skin. And Millennials are learning this too, as they search for treatment options to close the gap between their cellulite reductions efforts and real, visible results for a healthy, contoured appearance.
This is where VelaShape comes into play, a non-invasive cellulite reduction treatment with well-received popularity spanning across generations, especially the millennial bunch in Calgary, Alberta.
VelaShape was specifically created to slim and reduce cellulite in the areas of the stomach, hips, thighs, arms, and chin. The procedure combines the power of four different technologies; known as infrared, bi-polar radio frequency, pulsed vacuum, and massage rollers. Basically, when it comes to cellulite reduction, VelaShape is the missing piece. VelaShape allows you to take control of your body.
This provides clients with the body contouring effects you might associate with liposuction or other more invasive, extreme procedures but in the case of VelaShape, these results come without the intimidating price tag of surgery, side effects, and extensive downtime.
Okay, so what can you expect from a VelaShape treatment? During the treatment, the gentle heating and vacuum motion of the treatment works to stimulate the growth of new collagen and elastin, resulting in the reduction of skin laxity and improved body volume. According to clinical studies and client testimonials, you can expect average cellulite circumference reduction in the stomach of 2.5 cm, and up to one full dress size.
Following a single treatment, you can expect to immediately return to your normal routine (seriously, you could squeeze a treatment in over your lunch break) and see the effects of the treatment immediately.

The skin around our armpits can change colour over time. This is called hyperpigmentation. Some people are born with it; others develop it later in life. There are several reasons why it happens. Some cases are hereditary, while others are caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, certain medications, and even stress. I am always surprised […]
