Sagging shoulders, also known as “butterflies,” are a common problem for women over 40. year olds whose skin is losing firmness due to naturally occurring changes. Often weight loss, improper skin care, or muscle weakness also adversely affect the appearance of our hands. Flabby skin on the shoulders, although we can cover it up with longer sleeves, is often the cause of many complexes. Sagging shoulder treatments come to the rescue, and among them is VelaShape III. The perfect non-invasive way to regain lost firmness!
Sagging arms – why is the skin on the arms literally drooping?
Gradual loss of firmness begins after just about. 25. year of age. Usually we pay the most attention to the appearance of the face and neck, but the arms are one of the parts of the body that are most quickly affected by the aging process.
The skin on the inner part of the arms is very thin, moreover, it is subject to constant irritation during movements and is also affected by gravity. As collagen and elastin levels decline, the density of skin tissue decreases. At a certain age there is also a loss of muscle mass, so the skin loses its natural support and sags. Also, weight fluctuations have a dramatic effect on the condition of our arms. Intense weight loss leaves the natural “filling” in the form of fat loose. The skin, on the other hand, does not return to its normal size if it is not elastic enough to shrink with the reduced pounds.
What does the VelaShape III treatment consist of?
Vela Shape III is an innovative firming treatment that owes its effectiveness to the combination of up to three methods of action. With just one VelaShape III device applied to sagging shoulders, our skin is treated such as:
- Bipolar radio wave (RF) with a power of 150 W – penetrates deep skin tissues, initiating their heating to a temperature of approx. 43-45°C. The high temperature induces controlled microdamage at a depth of up to 1.5 cm, which is successively regenerated by the natural processes of the immune system. The stimulated body increases the production of collagen and elastin, which is visible as thick and firm skin. Moreover, the thermal action induces tissue shrinkage, which is clearly noticeable in the form of skin tightening.
- Vacuum massage – as a result of simultaneously applied vacuum massage through the VelaShape III head, microcirculation is stimulated. The result is the nourishment and oxygenation of skin cells, which is the basis for maintaining a healthy and beautiful appearance. In addition, vacuum massage also improves lymphatic circulation, so when it comes to firming the arms with simultaneous fat reduction, the results are visible much faster. This is because fat cells destroyed by heat are more efficiently removed along with the lymph.
- Infrared radiation (IR) – acts on the top layer of the skin, which, combined with bipolar wave and vacuum massage, provides comprehensive tissue firming at every level. The simultaneous strengthening of the subcutaneous tissues and the outer layer of the skin guarantees the best results.
VelaShape – how many treatments and how often should be performed on the arms?
How many VelaShape III firming treatments should be performed depends on our expectations and the condition of our skin. The first results in the form of tighter arm skin usually appear after the first treatment. Reducing sagging arms, however, may require a whole series of treatments.
The number of treatments and their frequency is always determined individually. Usually 4 to 6 treatments performed every 1-2 weeks are recommended.
