CAVITATION
NON-INVASIVE FAT REMOVAL
NON-INVASIVE FAT REMOVAL
Cavitation is a highly effective and completely non-invasive procedure that works by using ultrasonic waves to penetrate adipose tissue and eliminate fat cells. This innovative technique is safe and gentle, making it a popular choice for those looking to achieve a slimmer, more toned physique without resorting to invasive surgery.
-
During the treatment, there can be gentle heat and reddening, but it does not cause pain. Some patients report there is a slight discomfort due to the specific low-frequency ultrasound noise, but it is harmless.
-
The known side effects of Cavitation are minimal compared to surgical liposuction. You may experience temporary short-term skin sensitivity, mild bruising, fluid build-up, or blisters where the transducer was used.
-
The outcomes may differ depending on your health background, physical structure, and additional individualized factors. These elements have an impact on the results you observe and their endurance. While some individuals may see results after one session, most will require several treatments to achieve their desired outcome.
-
A minimum course of 4+ treatments is recommended for optimal results, however, every patient is different.
Treatment Areas
During the consultation, a plan will be created to treat the areas you are interested in. To obtain the desired look, we will treat each area through a series of sessions. Areas we commonly treat are:
Upper and lower abdomen
Thighs
Upper arms
Hips
Flanks
Benefits of Treatment
Results can vary significantly from patient to patient. However, most proponents of ultrasonic cavitation claim that you may see three results:
Tightened skin and reduced cellulite (due to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers).
Reduced circumference in the treated area (due to fat-cell release).
An overall contoured appearance (due to a combination of the benefits listed above).
How Does Cavitation Work?
Cavitation is a non-invasive method that uses sound waves to eliminate fat from the body without the need for surgery. During the procedure, machines emit low-frequency sound waves (known as “ultrasonic” waves) to target specific areas of the body. In some cases, light suction may also be used. The sound waves generate heat and vibrations that affect the fat cells beneath the skin. This pressure causes the fat cells to liquefy and release their contents into the bloodstream. The body can then eliminate these fatty acids through the lymphatic system, which acts as the body’s waste disposal plant.
Cavitation vs. Liposuction
Cavitation is a popular and safe non-surgical method to remove fat. A trained technician can perform the procedure effectively without any harm. The process involves using a handheld device called a 'wand' to deliver focused ultrasonic energy to the treatment area. This energy breaks down and eliminates fat cells without cutting into the skin or using tube-like liposuction. The primary difference between cavitation and liposuction is that cavitation uses ultrasonic waves to break down fat cells, while liposuction requires invasive surgery.
