The Aesthetic Practitioner News website posted an overview of two VelaShape studies done by Dr. Lori Brightman, M.D., of the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York.
The studies were presented at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery annual meeting. In one study, 17 women were treated for sagging upper arm skin, while the second study tested sagging abdominal and flank skin in 11 post-partum women, both over a period of four months (1 month for treatment, and 3 months post-treatment evaluation).
Overall, the study concluded that appropriately selected candidates continued to show reductions in circumference three months after the final treatment.
Syneron manufactures and sells ablative and non-ablative medical aesthetic devices that use a wide variety of energies including Syneron's signature elos™ technology - the only combined energy platform (radio frequency and light energies) that effectively treats dermatological conditions including wrinkles, skin laxity, age spots, pigmentation, acne, rosacea, hair removal, leg veins, spider veins, and much more. The VelaShape™ and Lipolite™ devices provide safe & effective treatments for cellulite and circumferential reduction, and the newly introduced Matrix RF™ is the first RF-only, non-laser, non-light device that's FDA cleared for fractional resurfacing.
