Body Contouring & Cellulite Reduction in Boston & Newton

Frustrated by cellulite that won’t budge no matter how much you exercise? Stubborn dimpling on your thighs, buttocks, or abdomen is cellulite that affects many women and men regardless of weight or fitness level. And here’s the truth: diet and exercise can’t fix it because cellulite isn’t about fat alone. It’s about the structural connective tissue beneath your skin.

Alexandra Laser Skincare offers VelaShape III body contouring treatments that target cellulite at its source using a combination of radiofrequency energy, infrared light, vacuum therapy, and mechanical massage. This results in smoother, firmer skin and reduced circumference in treated areas without surgery, needles, or downtime.

Available at our Boston and Newton locations, we serve clients throughout Boston, Brookline, Chestnut Hill, Cambridge, Newton and Greater Boston. Whether you’re smoothing cellulite before summer or contouring areas that haven’t responded to your workout routine, VelaShape III delivers visible results you can see and feel.

What is Velashape III?

VelaShape III is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive body contouring treatment that combines four proven technologies in one device to reduce cellulite, tighten skin, and decrease circumference in treated areas.

Here’s what makes cellulite so stubborn: It’s not just excess fat. Cellulite forms when fat cells push up through weakened connective tissue bands beneath your skin, creating that dimpled, “cottage cheese” appearance. No amount of cardio or strength training can restructure those connective tissue bands. Surface creams can’t penetrate deep enough to make a difference. You need technology that heats and remodels tissue from within.

1. Infrared Light: Penetrates tissue and pre-heats fat cells and connective tissue
2. Radiofrequency (RF): Delivers controlled heat deep into the dermis and subcutaneous layer
3. Vacuum Therapy: Manipulates skin folds to bring tissue closer to the energy source and increase circulation
4. Mechanical Massage Rollers: Smooth tissue, enhance lymphatic drainage, and improve treatment comfort

Together, these technologies heat fat cells, stimulate collagen production in connective tissue, improve circulation, and encourage lymphatic drainage—addressing cellulite from multiple angles simultaneously.

What does Body Contouring treat?

Muscle Soreness and Pain Relief

The combination of deep heat (from RF and infrared), mechanical massage, and increased circulation creates a therapeutic effect similar to deep-tissue massage or heat therapy but going much deeper into muscle tissue.

Cellulite Reduction

VelaShape III smooths and evens skin texture by heating and remodeling the connective tissue causing the dimpling. It is the best, clinically proven solution for comfortable, non-invasive body contouring for a wide range of patients and treatment areas.

Circumference Reduction

VelaShape III can reduce the circumference of treated areas by 1-3 inches on average. This isn’t weight loss: this treatment can shrink fat cells, reduce fluid retention, tightens skin. This procedure sculpts, refines, and reveals your natural shape without surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Body Contouring:

What does Body Contouring feel like?

Most clients describe it as a relaxing, deep-tissue massage with warmth. Many people find it pleasant enough to doze off during treatment.

Warmth: Comfortable heat from the infrared light and RF energy like a heating pad or warm stones in a massage
Vacuum: Gentle vacuum pulls tissue toward the handpiece. Not uncomfortable, just a pulling sensation
Massage: The mechanical rollers create a kneading, massage-like feeling as they manipulate tissue

How many treatments will I need?

Most clients start seeing and feeling results after the first appointment. Many people like to add on this treatment to other appointments as a supplement. In general, think of Body Contouring as an addition to the gym: results improve with progressive appointments.

How much circumference can I lose?

Clinical studies show an average of 1-3 inches in treated areas after a full series of treatments. That said, every body is different and results are based on many lifestyle factors like nutrition, hydration, and exercise.

Can I use VelaShape III for muscle soreness instead of cellulite?

Absolutely. While VelaShape III is FDA-cleared specifically for body contouring and cellulite reduction, many clients book sessions purely for the therapeutic benefits like muscle soreness relief, tension release, and pain management.

The deep heat from RF and infrared combined with mechanical massage penetrates 5-15mm into tissue, reaching muscles and fascia in ways that surface treatments can’t. Clients dealing with chronic back pain, post-workout soreness, IT band tightness, or nerve discomfort often find significant relief.

You can book VelaShape III for aesthetic goals, therapeutic goals, or both. During your consultation, let us know what you’re hoping to address and we’ll customize the treatment accordingly.

Is VelaShape III safe for all skin types?

Yes! VelaShape III uses RF energy and infrared heat and mechanical massage that work safely on all skin tones from very fair to very dark skin.

What do I do before and after my appointment?

Drink plenty of water in the 24 hours before treatment. Hydrated tissue responds better. Come with clean, product-free skin on treatment areas.

Your skin will be warm and slightly pink (like after a hot shower) which quickly fades. Many people notice their skin feels firmer or smoother right away. Remember to stay hydrated!
