How Does VelaShape Work?
During your treatment session at Elite MD, we will ask you to lie in the prone position while a team member passes the handheld VelaShape device over the treatment area. Most of our cellulite reduction patients say this feels like a relaxing massage and has a warm sensation but is not painful. While the device uses vacuum suction to bring the cellulite closer to the surface, the VelaShape targets the area with heat guided by a bipolar radiofrequency energy. Your appointment's length depends on the treatment area(s) covered.

Elite MD Reviews
If you're looking for a truly luxurious and exceptional experience, look no further than Elite MD! From the moment I walked into their brand-new BlackHawk location, I was absolutely blown away. The space exudes true luxury -- every detail is thoughtfully designed to make you feel like you're in the best hands possible.The level of care and attention from each and every staff member is beyond impressive. I first spoke with Rea on the phone, and she was so lovely and informative, making me even more excited to come in and experience Elite MD for myself. She made the process seamless and welcoming from start to finish.When I arrived, Kathryn took amazing care of me for my Botox and filler treatments. She was so skilled and professional, making sure I was comfortable and happy every step of the way. Ashlynn and Ericka were also wonderful, assisting up front and adding to the warm, welcoming vibe of the entire experience.The entire team at Elite MD made me feel pampered, valued, and confident in the treatments I was receiving. I can't wait to return and be treated like royalty again. Truly, this is the place to be for any aesthetics needs -- highly recommend checking out the BlackHawk location! You won't regret it.
Such a wonderful experience!
I went to Elite MD a few months ago after a scooter accident in Europe left me with trauma to my eye and nose. Despite being told by the ER doc abroad that it would heal on its own, it became clear once I returned home that I needed further intervention for a good cosmetic and functional result.While the team at Elite determined my situation required a specialist, I am writing this review because they went above and beyond to help me with doctor recommendations and referrals outside their practice. They even followed up on my progress multiple times over the following months, especially Vanessa who was wonderful. In an time where most medical interactions are strictly profit-driven, receiving this level of care and support without even receiving treatment was refreshing and I can only imagine how amazing the experience is for their patients.
I cannot recommend Dr. Bansal at Elite MD highly enough. I first consulted with him in February, and I was immediately struck by his patience. He spent hours with me, meticulously reviewing every option--from implants and lifts to a fat transfer. I never felt rushed; instead, I felt educated and empowered to make the right choice for my body.I ultimately chose the fat transfer, and while I am absolutely amazed at the physical results, it's the post-operative care that truly sets Dr. Bansal apart. Over the last 12 months, I've had numerous appointments, and I've never had a single issue with scheduling. Dr. Bansal consistently goes above and beyond, spending extra time during follow-ups to provide tailored aftercare advice and recommendations.His dedication made me feel genuinely cared for and valued as a patient, not just a number. I've already started referring my friends to him, and if I ever need future services, Elite MD is the only place I'll go.
Vanassa was wonderful. She explained each procedure and answered all of our questiions.

Am I a Candidate for VelaShape?
VelaShape may be a suitable choice if you want a smoother look and a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite or mild circumferential fullness. The best candidates for VelaShape - generally speaking - are close to their target weight and looking for refinement rather than a substitute for diet and exercise. VelaShape for cellulite and body contouring can be used on areas like thighs, buttocks, flanks, and abdomen, and works best in a series of sessions with maintenance. If you have certain skin conditions, implanted devices, or are pregnant, this treatment may not be appropriate. During an initial consultation and assessment, our team will review your goals and health history to confirm if VelaShape may be a safe, appropriate, and effective option for you.
Does VelaShape work to reduce cellulite?
VelaShape uses a combination of infrared light, radiofrequency energy, and mechanical massage to heat fat cells and stimulate collagen production. This process helps smooth out dimpled skin, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and tighten treated areas. The deep heating also enhances circulation and lymphatic drainage, which can improve skin texture and contour over time.
How many VelaShape treatments will I need to see results?
Most patients require a series of three to six sessions, typically spaced one to two weeks apart, to achieve noticeable improvement. Some people see changes after just one session, but optimal results develop gradually as collagen production increases and fat cells shrink. Our team will recommend a customized treatment plan based on your goals and the areas being treated.
Is there any downtime after a VelaShape treatment?
VelaShape is a noninvasive procedure with no required downtime. Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Some may experience mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling in the treated area, but these effects typically resolve within a few hours. Regular hydration and light exercise can help enhance and maintain results.
