American Laser Skincare VelaShape Featured in SHAPE Magazine

It’s that time of year again, when many of us are preparing to come out of hibernation ready to take on the beach in our polka dot bikini’s. But are we really ready to bare our bottoms? Luckily if you’ve kept up with your fabulous figure by taking a little yoga here and there, getting your body in showoff shape might be easier than you think.

This year, get bikini ready with VelaShape. This great service actually contours, shapes, and slims the body by reducing cellulite and circumference. Check out a VelaShape breakdown as recently featured in SHAPE:

YOUR SECRET WEAPON
VelaShape ($250 per session for four to six sessions one week apart; americanlaser.com for locations) works by using deep heat (with infrared light) to reduce fluid in fat cells, while suction and massage smooth skin by increasing circulation.
EXPERT TAKE “This treatment essentially heats up the fat in cells, liquefying it and making the lumpiness less noticeable,” says Loretta Ciraldo, M.D.
REAL LIFE RESULTS “My stomach felt flatter and less jiggly after four sessions. My pants also fit a little looser!”
—Claire, 51

    I started laser hair removal on my face this week, Its something I have been really wanting to do for several years now. The first place I went I thought was a good deal $100 for 15 min of work, I made an appointment went. She stared. I don’t know if she has had any experienced with the face or if she just bad at what she did. Because she ended up doing a really bad job and actually burned a small area of my face. Nothing horrible, it will go away, but its my face! Needless to say I was pretty mad. I went looking for a new place a new place that hopefully wouldn’t mess things up. Originally I was happy to find the first place because it was like a 10 min drive from my house in Bay City. But after doing more research I found americanlaser.com they have offices all over the U.S. the one near me is in Grand Blanc, hour drive each way, not to bad. After a consolation with a VERY nice and helpful young lady named Abby we went over prices. The old place said $100 for 15 min, and she told me it would most likely cost anywhere from $1600 – $2000. at American Laser she first said it would be $3,300 for 6 treatments and if more are needed there is no additional charge, I said thats a bit to much for me, and she said well let me take $300 of and give you 50% off the rest making it $1500 for everything.. I said great! and they also finance with Chase Bank I was able to get a line of credit for 5k with no interest for a year! I was pretty excited. We went back and started treatment. Its hurts, but compared to the lady that didn’t know what she was doing, it was so much better… I was really nervous to go to another laser clinic after having such a bad first experience. But after talking with Abby and the people at American Laser and how experienced they are with laser hair removal it was so easy. I cant wait till go back for my next appointment!
