  • Page 18: Applicators

    System Description Applicators The VSmooth and VContour applicators are used for the physical implementation of the RF current, IR energy and mechanical manipulation treatment parameters. The VContour applicator (see Figure 3) utilizes RF and mechanical manipulation by vacuum. It is used for circumference reduction and focal fat deposit treatment in different body areas such as: abdomen, flanks, thigh, arms, middle-back, submental, etc.
  • Page 19: Figure 4: Vsmooth Applicator Elements

    VelaShape III User Manual System Description Figure 4: VSmooth Applicator Elements Note The images in the figures are for illustration purposes only. The applicator is applied to the treatment area so that all four edges of the aperture make a seal with the skin. This allows the vacuum to be effective and ensures that the RF electrodes are fully coupled to the skin.
  • Page 20: Anatomy Of Cellulite

    System Description Anatomy of Cellulite Cellulite is characterized by Dimpled Skin Surface – mattress- like appearance (see Figure 5). The fat cells are located in chambers which are separated by vertical and horizontal Connective Tissue are anchored Septae. Septae rigid fibers that do not stretch with the skin as the volume within the walls of the chamber increases.
  • Page 21: Figure 7: Before Treatment

    VelaShape III User Manual System Description Both actions, reducing the size of the fat cells and draining excess fluids to the lymphatic system, are accompanied by shrinkage of the connective tissue septa and facilitate the overall shrinkage of the size of the fat chambers, thus leading to a reduction in the appearance of cellulite and a reduction in the circumference of the treated area.
