Contouring That Feels Like Self-Care

Body contouring does not have to feel clinical, and VaserShape brings a distinctly different experience to aesthetic care. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer VaserShape treatments to help patients reduce the appearance of cellulite and refine their silhouette by pairing advanced technology with the comfort of therapeutic massage.

What Is VaserShape?

VaserShape combines ultrasound energy with mechanical massage to warm and mobilize fat cells while stimulating circulation and lymphatic drainage in treated areas. This dual approach helps reduce the appearance of cellulite while contouring your body's overall shape.  While every patient has different motivations for seeking treatment, many come to us for the following VaserShape benefits:

  • A comfortable, massage-based treatment experience
  • Visible softening of cellulite dimpling
  • Improved circulation and lymphatic flow in treated areas
  • A non-invasive option with no needles or downtime

The LRMD Difference

VaserShape's massage-based technique means the aesthetician's hands-on skill directly shapes your results, unlike treatments that rely purely on a stationary applicator. Our team has trained specifically in the manual techniques that make VaserShape effective, ensuring consistent pressure and coverage across every treated area. Your treatment will be performed under direct oversight from our founder, Dr. Leif Rogers, a board-certified, Ivy League-trained plastic surgeon.  

At LRMD, we’re setting a new standard for modern aesthetic care. Because we offer a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical body contouring procedures, we can recommend the exact treatment that will work best for your body. We’ll only suggest VaserShape if it aligns with your medical and aesthetic needs, and present alternative options if your goals go beyond what this treatment can address alone.

What to Expect From Your VaserShape Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

How Ultrasound and Massage Work Together

VaserShape's ultrasound energy gently warms fat cells while the accompanying massage helps mobilize fluid and support lymphatic drainage. This combination provides a more complete result than is possible with treatments that rely solely on a passive, stationary applicator.

Addressing Your Exact Concerns

VaserShape is best suited to concerns related to texture and contour rather than to significant fat volume, and is not a dedicated weight-loss procedure. Common treatment goals include the following:

  • Cellulite dimpling on the thighs and buttocks
  • Mild contour irregularities
  • Circulation support in treated areas

During your initial consultation, your aesthetician will evaluate your skin health and fat distribution at your intended treatment sites to determine if VaserShape is right for you.

A Calm, Comfortable Experience

At the start of your session, your aesthetician will apply a warming gel to your treatment area before using the VaserShape handpiece to deliver ultrasound energy and a rhythmic massage. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a deep tissue massage. Sessions typically last 30-45 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Setting Your Unique Treatment Schedule

Most patients complete a series of six to eight sessions spaced one to two weeks apart. This intentional session spacing allows cumulative improvement in the appearance of cellulite and skin texture to build over the full treatment course.

A Relaxing, Low-Impact Recovery

VaserShape stands apart from many body contouring treatments for its comfortable recovery experience. Most patients notice mild warmth in the treated area immediately after your session, along with a sensation of relief or relaxation, similar to after a massage. There’s no bruising, swelling, or visible healing process to manage, since this treatment does not damage the skin's surface. Most patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena return to normal activities, including exercise, immediately without restrictions. However, you may choose to rest at home for the remainder of the day to allow your body to recover. 

Your Post-Treatment Process

After your VaserShape session, we’ll provide you with simple aftercare guidance to support your results. This plan may include the following:

  • Hydration tips to support lymphatic drainage
  • Side effects to monitor
  • Light activity recommendations to support circulation

Over the course of your treatment series, you’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena office for short follow-up visits with ur team. There, your aesthetician will track your visible progress and adjust your device technique or settings as needed.

Softer Texture, Session by Session

Because VaserShape combines ultrasound with manual massage, your results will build gradually as circulation improves and the appearance of cellulite softens. Most patients notice smoother, more even texture across treated areas by the midpoint of their series.

VaserShape Frequently Asked Questions

Does VaserShape actually reduce fat, or just cellulite?

VaserShape primarily addresses the appearance of cellulite and mild contour irregularities rather than significant fat volume. Patients seeking fat reduction may benefit from pairing VaserShape with a treatment such as CoolSculpting or Bodytite.

Is VaserShape a relaxing treatment or a more clinical one?

Most patients describe VaserShape as genuinely relaxing, similar to a therapeutic massage. Our patients find it to be a more comfortable option for body contouring.

How is VaserShape different from Venus Legacy?

VaserShape leverages ultrasound energy combined with hands-on massage to rescue the appearance of cellulite. Venus Legacy uses radiofrequency and pulsed electromagnetic fields delivered through a stationary applicator, without the manual massage component.

Can VaserShape be combined with other body treatments?

Yes. VaserShape is often paired with treatments like CoolSculpting or Bodytite to address both fat reduction and cellulite texture as part of a broader body contouring strategy.

How soon will I notice improvement in the appearance of cellulite?

Many patients notice initial softening within the first few sessions, with more complete improvement in texture and circulation after completing the full recommended treatment series. It may take several weeks for your final results to emerge.
