A friend of mine had Vela Shape done on her thighs and it slimmed them down considerably. Personally, I loved her large round thighs, they were so powerful, but she like to wear pants... so she had 'em zapped. It inspired me to take the leap into my own Vela Shape adventure.
I do not have beautifully powerful thighs... I do have what I lovingly refer to as "trunk fat": fat on the trunk of my body - belly and back. Who doesn't love back fat on a lady? More importantly, belly fat is the nemesis I can see daily. It puffs out the front of my dresses and wiggles during dirty do it. It has to go! Even at my lowest adult weight, it wiggled and jiggled like a jell-o commercial.
I purchased my Groupon for $149. The terms of the Groupon were 6 Vela Shape treatments in a small (the size of a sheet of paper, 8 1/2" x 11") area. I chose my belly fat. The treatment facility was very thorough... they took my blood pressure, did a glucose level check, weighed and measured me and even sent in a nurse practitioner for a general check. I was impressed. I'm easily impressed.
The explained the procedure to me in detail and were frank that this was not a massage - it was going to hurt, burn and leave me bruised. All of that proved true. The technician squeezed some juice on my belly and applied this small hellish hairdryer to my spare tire. It pinched and pulled at my stomach while becoming increasingly hotter. It burned - a lot! When it got too bad my technician adjusted the heat. It wasn't too bad. Yes, it was but if it works for me like it did for my friend it will be worth it!
The following day I was bruised and sore, but it didn't stop me from doing anything. I also had to use the bathroom a lot more. Supposedly, the melting fat has to go somewhere... so, it exits.
I will have the remaining 5 treatments once a week over the next 5 weeks. I'm hopeful this will help and it has definitely motivated me to head to the gym and eat right.
I am still waiting for my dream Groupon... 6 treatments of Zerona for $200... gasp! Maybe my Christmas dreams will come true.
