VelaShape™ Cellulite Treatment Now Available in the Lehigh Valley

Lehigh Valley, PA, July 05, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Young is the first in the Lehigh Valley to debut this non-invasive body shaping treatment. FDA-approved in August 2007, VelaShape™ provides patients the fastest clinically-proven, non-surgical solution for the temporary reduction of the appearance of cellulite, as well as temporary reduction of thigh circumference.

“VelaShape™ combines radio-frequency and infrared heat, suction and massage to effectively shrink fat cells, smooth skin and contour the treated area,” said Thomas E. Young, MD of Young Medical Spa. VelaShape™ can be performed on most body areas including the arms, thighs, abdomen, buttocks and hips. Most VelaShape™ patients begin to see results after 4 treatment sessions with maximum benefits usually occurring 6 to 8 weeks after the final treatment. The results are easy to maintain with follow-up treatments, proper diet and exercise.

Patients can find many positive differences in their body including smoothing of the skin's surface with a noticeable reduction of the appearance of cellulite as well as a reduction in the circumference of the areas treated. Studies have proven that 85% of treated areas have a reduction of circumference from 1 to 7.2 cm. VelaShape™ is effective on all skin types and colors.

Dr. Young’s practice solely concentrates on aesthetic procedures such as minimally invasive SmartLipo™ Laser Body Sculpting, Vaser® Lipo, Mesotherapy (LipoDissolve), laser hair reduction, spider vein therapy, Lux1540™ non-ablative and Lux2940™ ablative skin resurfacing, photo facials for the treatment of acne and rosacea, Botox® Cosmetic and dermal filler injections, clinical facials, chemical peels, crystal-free DiamondTip™ microdermabrasion, and massage therapy.

"We are excited to offer this new, non-surgical cellulite treatment as an adjunct to laser and ultrasound lipolysis surgery and as a stand alone procedure for many modalities such as body after baby," says Dr. Young.
