VContour® Skin Tightening

Clínica Privé announces the arrival of VContour that forms part of VelaShape II™ platform by Syneron, the next generation of the VelaSmooth® device. A four-in- one treatment, VelaShape™ is the first and only non-surgical FDA-cleared medical device for the Body Reshaping market using Circumferential Reduction. Velashape™ is also the first FDA class II cleared platform for Cellulite Treatment.

How does VContour® work?
As we age, our imperfections turn into multi-layered problems. VContour with its combination of infrared and conducted RF energies precisely heats the dermal and the hypodermal tissue within the target treatment area and reduces the size of the actual fat cells in the treated area. Vacuum and specially designed rollers for the Mechanical Massage smooth out the skin to facilitate safe and efficient heat energy delivery. This combination of Radio frequency and infrared light (elos™), aids in new collagen remodeling to tighten sagging and lax skin especially on the neck. Lymphatic drainage is also increased.

What are the typical areas that are treated?

FACIAL REJUVENATION

A double chin and flabby jowls does not necessarily come with age and these signs are usually recognized when one sees oneself in profile or in photographs. Double chins or neck waddles are the result of excess fat or hanging loose skin or both. 
At Clínica Privé we offer non-surgical combinations of treatments such as VContour that reduce fat cells and tighten skin on the face and body. The sooner these procedures are started to improve collagen levels, the better the long-term outcome.

On the Face VContour® treats:
* Double chin 

* Facial sculpturing 

* Fat or Flabby cheeks 

* Saggy Jowls 

* Crepey necks

When should one start VContour® Rejuvenation?
As one ages, the skin’s elasticity declines dramatically, and gravity constantly pulls on our bodies. Today’s savvy patients and consumers are looking for treatments and services that work in concert with their home products to provide more discernable results for anti ageing. The good news is that the latest treatments involve combinations that are more effective than ever and treatments should be started before the sagging and double chins deteriorate to a level, which is more resistant to treatment. VContour® stimulates the fibroblasts to produce collagen, which is the major support structure for the skin and VContour® also reduces the fat content of the skin. If thirty-year-olds + opt for preventative non invasive procedures, a new trend will develop resulting in a much different type of ageing than older generations.

How can VContour® Facial Skin Rejuvenation give back a youthful appearance and help the ageing process?
There are different types of skin and we all age differently. No matter how well we look after our skin, the inevitable ageing will take place. One can maintain a “Hollywood face” by keeping one’s skin firm and taught with collagen to avoid the inevitable sagging that takes place over time. Tighter, firmer skin supports the face and prevents the other soft tissues in our face and the muscles from sagging.

Can VContour® Skin Rejuvenation be combined with other treatments?
Clínica Privé is excited to offer the next step in multi-modality therapy in treating facial rejuvenation. We call it Clínica Privé’s 3D Laser Rejuvenation, our signature non-surgical face-lift. Clínica Privé’s 3 D Laser Rejuvenation is one of the most effective non-ablative skin rejuvenation solutions available and involves combining three clinical applications viz. Carboxytherapy, LASER Skin Tightening and Laser Genesis.

Separately each clinical application presents a powerful solution for the most in demand, fastest growing procedures with no downtime. 
At Clínica Privé, Velashape is commonly performed with 3D Laser Rejuvenation, Lipodissolve, Transdermal mesotherapy and Carboxytherapy treatments for best non-surgical face lifting results.

At Clínica Privé, with combination treatments every 2 weeks, in 3 months we can take any skin and make it into almost perfect skin: luminous, smooth, blemish free and tight.

How many VContour® treatments are needed?
On the face 6 to 8 treatments are necessary every to 2 to 4 weeks. Rather than waiting until their problems are bothersome again, patients must appreciate that maintenance goes a long way and a VContour® treatment every2-4 weeks will help maintain results.

What is the cost of VContour® treatments?
As best results are seen with after 6 to 8 treatments every client is provided with a fully customized year long solution dependent on the patient’s age, relevant skin problem, budget and expectations. The effects of each treatment is accumulative meaning that the results of each previous treatment is improved with each additional treatment and the best results come down the line when new collagen that is stimulated remodels and a further tightening effect is noticed.

Is VContour® safe?
At Clínica Privé numerous VContour® treatments have been administered to our patients with great results with virtually no side effects. If you are prone to bruising, slight redness of the skin post treatment may occur which resolves without any consequences.
