Alma vShape Skin Tightening & Fat Loss FAQs
In this article skilled and experienced Englewood, NJ women’s health expert Dr. Hetal Gor answers patients’ frequently asked question about the new Alma vShape Laser.
What is Alma vShape Shape Skin Tightening & Fat Loss?
Alma vShape is a state-of-the-art FDA approved medical device that uses ultrasound for highly effective skin tightening & resurfacing, wrinkle reduction and cellulite removal.
How does the Alma vShape work?
Alma vShape uses patented wave radiofrequency technology to selectively destroy fat cells. This device sends ultrasound energy deep into the skin that causes fat cells to rupture, while leaving the surrounding areas intact and unharmed.
vShape also charges the water molecules in the skin, which causes a heat reaction that tightens and tones the skin. Additionally, vShape radiofrequency stimulates new collagen and elastic production in the skin – for tightening, smoothing and strengthening. The result is a dramatically younger looking skin.
Is VShape Shape Skin Tightening & Fat Loss safe?
Alma is a world leader in laser technologies, and VShape has been used across the globe for more than five years with no reported serious side effects.
Is VShape painful Shape Skin Tightening & Fat Loss?
Absolutely not. vShape offers a combined heating and cooling system to prevent any pain. The result is a comfortable and relaxing treatment in our Englewood, NJ Medical Spa.
How long does a vShape treatment take?
While it will depend upon how large an area is being treated, the typical vShape treatment takes between 30 and 60 minutes.
Is there any downtime after vShape treatments?
Not at all. Patients can immediately resume their normal daily activities after vShape. In fact, some patients at our Englewood, NJ Medical Spa come in on their lunch hours and then return to work afterwards. Some patients may experience some mild redness of the skin after treatment, but that disappears quickly – usually in a few hours.
What skin tones does vShape work best on?
Unlike many laser treatments, vShape radiofrequency technology is compatible with all skin types and tones – from very light to very dark.
Who is a Good Candidate for vShape Fat Loss?
For patients interested in fat reduction, VShape is ideal for people who need to lose a few inches. So it’s best for individuals having a BMI (body mass index) less than 30.
Who is a Good Candidate for vShape Shape Skin Tightening ?
For skin tightening, vShape is ideal for individuals with sagging skin on the face – especially in the “jowls” and neck. vShape can very effectively tighten the jawline, as well as loose skin on the neck.
vShape is also excellent for firming the sagging skin on the inner thighs, upper arms (“bat wings”), around the knees and on the neck.
How soon will I see results from vShape?
Unlike other skin tightening treatments, some results may be visible after the initial treatment. Complete results will then be fully noticeable in the 7 to 14 days following your last treatment.
