- Areas treated: upper arms, men’s chest, abdomen, love handles, hips, buttocks, back and thighs are areas of the body that are most commonly treated.

Background information
Spa Lumina is proud to announce that it is the first Spa in Ontario to introduce Vaser Shape. For years there have been claims of non-invasive technologies that would melt away cellulite and body fat. Consumers were paying thousands of dollars to endure painful and often ineffective treatments such as radio frequency, laser therapy, cooling therapy, and chemical injections, only to end up with temporary or unpredictable results.
Spa Lumina has spent many years researching body shaping technology, and has discovered an ultrasound and lymphatic system developed in Europe that is scientifically proven to reduce fat and contour the body.
Spa Lumina is the first and only Medi-Spa in Eastern Canada to offer VASER Shape: the newest non-invasive, non-surgical, ultrasound and massage system that reduces fat, slims, tightens and contours the body with minimal discomfort and no down time for recovery. Unlike other devices that purport to dissolve fat, but actually approved by Health Canada for deep tissue heating or massage, the Vaser Shape has been approved by Health Canada for the treatment of adiposalgia (areas of subcutaneous fat).
VASER Shape provides two types of treatment: ultrasound therapy and zonal lymphatic massage. Dr. Gandhi will choose a specific treatment schedule to help clients achieve their desired results. The treatment can be performed on problem areas of the body from the neck down (excluding female breasts). Upper arms, men’s chest, abdomen, love handles, hips, buttocks, back and thighs are areas of the body that are most commonly treated.
Unlike other non-invasive body contouring procedures, VASER Shape has minimal discomfort due to it’s dual ultrasound beams. Most clients will start to see results after two or three treatments, and a package of six is recommended for best results. The cost of six treatments is typically less than half that of liposuction. The technology makes fat reduction more accessible to women and men, allowing them to achieve the body shape they desire. VASER Shape is a great body shaping alternative for those who do not want an invasive surgical procedure. It’s ideal for people who are otherwise healthy and fit, but have localized fatty areas on their body.
How does it work?
ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound therapy uses two beams of high frequency ultrasound energy to warm and treat fatty tissue beneath the skin. The two beams are angled in such a way to intersect beneath the skin, and heat the area that contains fat. This promotes fat cell destruction and encourages the body to metabolize, drain or reabsorb excess fluids.
The treatment is delivered using a special hand piece, which follows the contour of the body, targeting fatty tissue at a specific depth beneath the skin.
ZONAL LYMPHATIC MASSAGE
Zonal lymphatic massage completes every VASER Shape treatment. This vacuum assisted massage helps to open the lymph nodes, help the body drain off excess toxins and fats and increases local blood circulation.
TREATMENT TIME
Dr. Gandhi will prescribe treatments based on body type and the effects clients are looking to achieve. Typically, a treatment schedule will include:
- One combined ultrasound and massage treatment per week (40-50 minutes per body area)
- One zonal massage session per week
- A total treatment regimen of up to six weeks
Clients may notice immediate improvements after the first session, and significant results after a few weeks. Following the treatment, clients can resume normal activity without any pain or down time.
For health and safety precautions, clients with diabetes, heart disease, pregnancy or extremely high levels of cholesterol are unable to receive treatment. Please note, that clients who smoke will not see the same results as non-smokers, although the treatment will still be effective.
