The cosmetic or aesthetic medicine industry is among the world’s most fluid and dynamic industries. The rapid growth and advancements experienced by this field of medicine are being driven as much by demand from an ageing world population as by a growing acceptance of the use of non-invasive treatments to restore youthful appearance.

Over the following weeks, we will be giving you some of our predictions of what will be trending in the field of aesthetic medicine in 2013. The first of these trends is Body Contouring, using Velashape 11

Body Contouring Using Velashape II

Cellulite is the great equaliser and estimates put its prevalence among women aged 20 and older at 80% of the entire population.

Right now, the best, most measurable results are being achieved with a new non-invasive medical solution, known as VelaShape ll. It is the first and only technology to use elōs (the combined energies of bi-polar radio frequency and optical energy) to precisely target and heat fatty tissues, coupled with vacuum and mechanical massage to even out the skin for a smoother, tighter appearance.

In studies, patients reported an average reduction of two centimetres and up to 60% overall improvement in skin texture after just four sessions. The best results are evident six to eight weeks after the final treatment.

In 2012 Velashape II gained a lot of ground, with celebrities like Kim Kardashian even going public about their use of the treatment. In 2013, Velashape will be a household name.
