Cellulite Affects Millions — And a Breakthrough Treatment Is Changing the Conversation
From Hollywood to everyday life, cellulite continues to be one of the most widespread cosmetic concerns among adults in Los Angeles and beyond. Affecting women far more commonly than men, the condition causes a visibly bumpy, dimpled skin texture that leaves many feeling self-conscious about their legs, thighs, and overall appearance. Now, a state-of-the-art treatment called VelaShape® — available at Moein Surgical Arts — is delivering real, measurable results without a single incision.
The Science Behind Cellulite: Why It's So Hard to Eliminate
Cellulite is not simply a matter of excess weight. It occurs when fat pockets push upward against the connective tissue beneath the skin, distorting the surface into its characteristic uneven texture. A range of factors can trigger or worsen cellulite, including hormonal changes, slow metabolism, poor hydration, dietary habits, genetic history, and elevated body fat levels. Because of its structural nature, cellulite cannot be resolved through diet or exercise alone — which is precisely why advanced clinical treatments are increasingly in demand.
VelaShape®: Four Technologies Working as One
At the heart of VelaShape's effectiveness is its proprietary elōs™ technology, which uniquely combines four powerful modalities in a single treatment:
Infrared light energy penetrates the skin to gently heat fat cells beneath the surface. Radiofrequency energy works alongside it to further stimulate tissue remodeling and collagen production. Vacuum suction stretches and loosens the tight fibrous bands responsible for the skin's dimpled appearance. Mechanical massage rollers enhance lymphatic drainage, improve circulation, and help the body naturally eliminate fat cell byproducts and toxins.
Together, these technologies heat the dermal and hypodermal layers of the skin to boost fat-cell metabolism, shrink fat cells, and visibly smooth the skin — all without causing any tissue damage.
A Comfortable, Convenient 30-Minute Session
One of the most appealing aspects of VelaShape is how straightforward the experience is for patients. Each session lasts between 30 and 40 minutes and is widely described as feeling warm and deeply relaxing — much like a therapeutic massage. There is no anesthesia, no needles, and no surgical preparation required.
Because the procedure is entirely non-invasive, patients experience zero downtime and can return to work, exercise, or daily activities immediately after leaving the clinic.
Who Qualifies for VelaShape Treatment?
VelaShape is ideally suited for individuals with stage one or stage two cellulite and a Body Mass Index under 30. Stage one cellulite is only visible when the skin is physically pinched, while stage two is apparent when standing upright but disappears when lying flat. Patients who do not meet all of these criteria may still be evaluated for candidacy during a personalized consultation with Dr. Moein.
When Will Patients See Results?
Many patients notice an immediate improvement in skin smoothness following their very first session. Over the following weeks, the skin continues to tighten and refine, with the most significant cellulite reduction becoming visible within two to three months. A typical treatment plan involves approximately six sessions, spaced according to the patient's individual goals and body type.
Maximizing Results: VelaShape Combined with Liposuction
For patients seeking more comprehensive body contouring, VelaShape pairs exceptionally well with liposuction. While liposuction effectively removes localized fat deposits and reshapes body contours, it is not designed to treat cellulite — and may occasionally make its appearance more pronounced. Adding VelaShape to a post-liposuction plan addresses this gap directly, smoothing the skin and tightening the treated area for a more polished, complete result.
