On the path of pursuing the perfect body shape, technology provides us with countless choices, and CoolSculpting and VelaShape are undoubtedly the two popular players among them. They are like the “song of ice and fire” in the fitness industry, one known for its freezing technology and the other for its thermal energy. So, who is the “ultimate winner” in the shaping world? Is it CoolSculpting’s’ ruthless’ or VelaShape’s’ passionate ‘? Today, we will take you to explore and see which of these two “body modification masters” is better.

An overview of CoolSculpting and VelaShape

CoolSculpting, This sounds like a name derived from a science fiction movie, but it is actually a non-invasive frozen fat technology. It freezes fat cells at low temperatures, allowing them to naturally apoptosis and be expelled from the body. Imagine lying on the sofa, watching TV shows while “freezing” fat. Isn’t it a bit futuristic?

VelaShape, on the other hand, takes a different path by utilizing radio frequency and infrared technology to tighten the skin and reduce fat through heating. It sounds like a “hot compress SPA” for your body, and it also helps you shed excess fat.

So, the question is: do you prefer the “cold” CoolSculpting or the “hot” VelaShape? Don’t worry, the following content will reveal the answer for you, take you to a deeper understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of these two technologies, and help you find the most suitable shaping solution for yourself. After all, body management requires both science and fun, right?

How do CoolSculpting and VelaShape work?

CoolSculpting utilizes the triglycerides in human fat to be converted into solids at a low temperature of 5 ℃. The precise control of freezing energy through a non-invasive freezing energy extraction device delivers the energy to the designated lipolysis site, effectively eliminating fat cells in the designated area. After being cooled to a specific low temperature, the triglycerides in the designated area transform from liquid to solid, crystallize and age, and gradually die. Through metabolism, the body’s fat gradually decreases, achieving the effect of local lipolysis and body shaping.

VelaShape is a non-invasive body shaping device that combines radio frequency (RF), infrared light (IR), and vacuum negative pressure massage techniques to reduce local fat, tighten the skin, and improve orange peel tissue. Firstly, radiofrequency energy penetrates deep into the skin layer, heating the dermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue, stimulating collagen production, thereby enhancing skin elasticity and reducing sagging. Secondly, infrared light energy penetrates the surface of the skin and directly acts on fat cells, promoting fat metabolism and breakdown through heating, helping to reduce local fat accumulation. Finally, the vacuum negative pressure and mechanical roller system suction up skin and adipose tissue, combined with massage movements, evenly distribute energy and promote lymphatic drainage, further improving the appearance of edema and orange peel tissue.

The benefits: Coolsculpting VS Velashape

Coolsculpting

1. Comfortable and safe: Non-invasive treatment, comfortable treatment process, no adverse feelings, no special care after treatment,no recovery period, no risk.
