Butt cupping is a body contouring treatment that focuses on improving the appearance of the buttocks. It’s also known as vacuum butt therapy because of the way that it uses a vacuum device to suction tissue into the cups fitted to the device. It helps improve the appearance of the buttocks without the need for surgery or any other invasive techniques.

It contours, lifts, and tones the entire buttocks to enhance its appearance and help you achieve your body goals, and it also has some surprising health benefits. You won’t have to perform endless squats or intense cardio to see results; you just simply have to show up at your appointment and let us take care of the rest.

Wood Therapy is a natural and holistic way of contouring the body without harming the skin or tissue. The wood elements come in different shapes and sizes and each wooden instrument has a specific use and purpose. Wood therapy helps to repair abnormal fascia growth that creates cellulite on the body. Wood therapy can tone and eliminate stored fat in different parts of the body.

There are a lot of products and treatments out there that claim to either improve or eliminate cellulite. Topical creams and lotions that contain caffeine or retinol purport increasing blood flow to reduce cellulite’s appearance. These have been found to have only a minimal effect on cellulite appearance with no effect on the circumference of the area.

There is one innovative treatment that is getting dramatic results for clients seeking cellulite and circumferential reduction while restoring a more youthful contour: VelaShape.

VelaShape treatment is an FDA approved non-surgical, non-invasive body contouring treatment that’s been shown effective in:

· Reducing localized deposits of fat

· Smoothing and reducing the appearance of cellulite

· Toning skin

Clients love that they can achieve transformative results without the expense or downtime of liposuction or other invasive surgeries. Results are also not dependent on diet weight loss. This treatment uses a combination of technologies to contour areas of your body that have been diet and exercise-resistant.

VelaShape treatment combines several successful modalities into one transformative treatment. This therapy uses infrared light, bi-polar radio frequency, vacuum and mechanical massage to cause a gentle and deep heating of collagen fibers in the dermis, fat cells and their surrounding connective tissues. This simultaneous heating and vacuum stimulates your body’s natural healing process and revs up your collagen production.

When you have stronger collagen fibers and increased elasticity, you’ll experience a tightening of your skin, reduction in the treated area’s volume and an overall improvement of your skin structure and texture. This leads to reduced fat bulges, and many clients find they are able to wear a smaller clothing size.

Only your practitioner can determine which areas of concern would be best treated by this therapy. This treatment is designed to address both large and small areas on the body so can be a fantastic solution for cellulite and fat deposits found on the:

· Thighs

· Buttocks

· Love handles

· Abdomen

· Hips

· Back

· Arms

· Neck

· Chin

From start to finish, the VelaShape experience is a comfortable and positive one. Clients rave about the process and, of course, the results.

Most clients describe the actual treatment as comfortable, and it is generally very well tolerated. Radiofrequency and infrared light will precisely target the fatty deposits and chambers below your skin. You will feel the sensation of the vacuum and the massaging action of the device.

Clients describe this treatment as like getting a deep tissue massage with heat. This treatment is designed with your sensitivities and comfort in mind, so always let your doctor know how you’re feeling throughout your session.

You will immediately be able to return to your normal routine after treatment, because there is no downtime. You may experience a warm sensation in your skin for a few hours, and that’s normal. Treatment times will vary according to the areas you’re having done. Most appointments last around 30 minutes.

The number of sessions you will need to achieve the results you’re looking for will depend on the condition of your skin, what results you’d like to achieve and how your body responds to treatment.

Most clients start with three treatment sessions but may choose up to six to maximize their results. Each client’s needs are different.

Most clients will see results after their third session, about six weeks after their first treatment. Results are gradual and cumulative. Your results will continue to improve, with the best results being most apparent two to three months after your final treatment. This is when the circumference and cellulite reduction will be at its most significant. You may see results like:

· A smoothing of the lumpy appearance of cellulite

· A smooth contour where problem bulges used to be

· Tighter skin

· Reduced local fat bulges

· Reduction in the circumference of treatment area

Clients can expect to lose between .5 and 3 inches in circumference after treatment, with many even wearing a smaller clothing size depending on the area treated. Individual results vary. It’s recommended that once you reach your optimal results you come in for follow-up or maintenance treatments every one to three months depending on your body’s response to treatment.

People who follow a healthy lifestyle are best able to extend or maintain their results. Eating a diet low in fat, carbohydrates, and sugar while maintaining an exercise routine will help to keep you at a steady weight to avoid the expansion of your fat cells.
