Velashape 3 for Skin
Velashape 3 on its own is great for smoothing out skin, improving cellulite or for refining skin post liposuction. This non-surgical technique is known to bring into use three components for effective results, namely Infrared radiation, Bi-polar radio frequency, and mechanical vacuum massage. One major reason behind the use of this treatment is its effectiveness in enhancing the appearance and making the person look younger.

I can’t recommend EA clinic enough. I have had several procedures there now (vaser liposuction, mole removal and peels) and between Gill and Dr Anthony I have been so well looked after. They are consistently professional, passionate and clear in the options they provide you. Whether it is consultation, procedure or aftercare Dr Anthony always has so much time to make you feel at ease and fully informed. Both Gill and Dr Anthony are also friendly which is so lovely and welcoming as a patient. Overall I feel so much happier and confident since seeing the team at EA Clinic.
