How does Velashape™ work?
Read MoreAs we age, our imperfections turn into multi-layered problems. Velashape™ 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 infra-red light (Elos™), aids in new collagen remodeling to tighten sagging and loose skin. Lymphatic drainage is also increased.

When should one start Velashape™ Rejuvenation?
Read MoreThe latest treatments involve combinations that are more effective than ever and treatments should be started before the problem area deteriorates to a level which is more resistant to treatment. Velashape™ stimulates the fibroblasts to produce collagen, which is the major support structure for the skin and Velashape™ also reduces the fat content of the skin. The sooner one starts with preventative treatment, the better the body will age.

See all reviewsGreat treatments, Early stages so success thereof still to be seen, as only 2 treatments had. Lovely warm stuff. A very professional operation.
Always very happy with my therapist and my experience at Skin Renewal Irene.
The ambiance of Body Renewal Constantia is great, and the staff are brilliant and very efficient. My therapist who performed the Velashape treatments with great success.
Body Renewal Constantia is an excellent branch and my therapist is brilliant. The Velashape and Carboxy treatments have given me great fat reduction results.
The treatment and service is very professional. The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this clinic to other people.
I received 8 x Velasmooth treatments and 2 x Carboxytherapy from Charleen Liebenberg and was highly impressed by her professionality, knowledge, kindness and proper way of treatment. She is an asset to the company and would refer more clients definitely to her. She could answer all my questions, made me feel at ease and most of all made it an extremely pleasant experience!!!
I went for a total of 8 Velasmooth treatments and after the first one I knew Charleen would be my preferred therapist for the rest of them. Always friendly, always professional and even patient enough for me to let my 2 year old tag along to 4 of my treatments. Overall I'm very happy; both with my amazing results and with Skin Renewal Willowbridge.
I've been coming to Skin Renewal for about a year after a very dubious Oros-man experience at another spa. My colour is always perfect and even. I brought my sister, my mom and my cousin here just before my sister's wedding with full confidence of a stunning result!
Charleen is a regular therapist of mine. My experience with her is always very pleasant. She is well experienced and knowledgable and always extremely friendly, considerate and professional. My experience with her is always a good one!
I had a fantastic and kind treatment with Charleen! Very professional and knowledgeable. Will recommend her to anybody as a professional. Thank you for being so accommodating!
Bev is always great, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Cellulite seems to be improving too!
