VelaShape
The only solution for Circumferential Reduction!
It is estimated that 80% of all women over the age of 20 have cellulite.
Powered by the revolutionary elōs Technology, VelaShape is the first and leading FDA-cleared non-invasive medical solution for circumferential reduction * and the first FDA class II cleared platform for cellulite reduction.
How it works
VelaShape features the revolutionary elōs combination of Bi-Polar radiofrequency (RF), infrared light energies, plus negative pressure and tissue manipulation.
The synergistic combination of infrared and conducted RF energies increase the oxygen intracellular diffusion by heating the skin. Vacuum and specially designed rollers manipulate and smooth out the skin to facilitate safe and efficient energy delivery.
The net result increases the metabolism of stored energy (lipolysis), increases lymphatic drainage and reduces or shrinks the size of the actual fat chamber.
The result: A reduction in the circumference of the treated area and a smoother appearance of the skin?s surface.
In a multi-center study, 85% of the treated areas have reported circumferences reduction of thighs of at least 1cm; ranging up to 7.2cm in reduction

How does ReFirme? Skin Tightening with elōs work?
The combined Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Light energies of elōs technology precisely heat the connective tissue within the targeted treatment area. This stimulates collagen production, simultaneously firming loose skin as it diminishes fine wrinkles. You'll see the lifting effect and feel how your skin becomes tighter, smoother, and more elastic.
Does it hurt?
No. ReFirme skin tightening treatment is very comfortable and requires no topical anesthetics or other skin preparations. For your added safety and peace of mind, elōs technology features an advanced patient comfort system, which monitors your skin and keeps it at a soothing cool temperature during the procedure.
Treatment with elōs is easy. There's no surgery, no sedation, and no downtime. And most procedures take 30 minutes or less.
How much does it cost?
Treatment costs vary. Your medical practitioner will go over these details with you during your initial consultation.

Hair Removal
We?re not just splitting hairs
Results using conventional optical only systems are limited because they operate indirectly by superheating the melanin in the hair shaft and hoping for enough collateral thermal damage. Syneron Systems don't waste time splitting hairs, they achieve superior results because they precisely target and destroy the hair follicle through a process known as Vortex heating.
How it works
Using revolutionary elōs Technology, our systems first preheat the target 
using optical energy, which creates a thermal path on which the radio frequency (RF) travels. RF is delivered directly to the hair follicle, which can not conduct RF. The build up of current density results in 4x heat coefficient thermal transfer. Under 80X magnification, distinct peri-follicular coagulation or bleaching is evident. The hair follicle is terminally disabled and denatured.
