Yes, it is a safe, FDA-approved, comfortable, and non-invasive procedure with virtually no side effects. It does not require anesthesia, leaves no scars, and does not require any post-treatment. The ultrasound energy is designed to target fatty tissues beneath the skin only and does not affect the blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues.
No, the treatment is painless. A slight tingling sensation or buzzing in the ear may sometimes be felt during the treatment. Some heat sensations may also be felt during treatment, but there is no pain. Any slight reddening of the skin, which may sometimes develop during or soon after treatment, quickly disappears; some report a "post-workout" type of soreness.
Thighs (saddlebags), Abdomen (love handles or pouches), Hips (flanks), Buttock, Back, Chin, and Upper Arm, i.e., areas with localized fat.
Treatment times may vary depending on the area being treated, but a typical session will last between 30 minutes and an hour.
Yes, low-frequency ultrasound (40 kHz) generally works well on cellulite by focusing the "cavitation effect" on the superficial fat tissue. The best results are obtained when the ultrasound is applied in conjunction with "radio frequency" (RF) and Vacuum Therapy, which helps to tighten and tone the skin and break up pinched fascia that creates the dimpling effect.
Fat is stored primarily as triglycerides inside adipocyte cells located between the muscles and skin. The numbers of fat cells are the same regardless of a person's weight, but the size of the cells can vary greatly.
The ultrasonic cavitation treatment will often yield immediate results that you can feel, touch, and see, and it can be long-lasting. However, more significant results will be noticed throughout a series, with optimal results at the end.
You can achieve ‘volume reduction’ of fatty tissues and ‘toning of the body.’ The results are gradual over a number of weeks as your body clears the broken-down fatty tissues. The results can be long-lasting, provided you follow a healthy diet and exercise program. However, it is very easy to deposit fat again into the tissues if one overeats, consumes too much alcohol, or lives a sedentary lifestyle. Ultimately, the result may vary depending on the individual’s tissue structure, treatment area, age, metabolism, medication, and changes in hormones.
Fat Cavitation is not a treatment for obesity, nor is it a weight-loss procedure. Rather, it is a method for ‘reshaping’ and ‘toning’ the body. It is particularly intended to reduce localized fat tissues that are resistant to exercise around the abdomen (love handles), buttocks, and thighs (saddlebags), which won’t easily go away by simple dieting and exercise.
There are virtually no side effects. However, on rare occasions, there may be a slight possibility of mild side effects such as transient redness, excessive thirst, or nausea immediately after the treatment, which is invariably resolved by drinking water. These are all short-term effects that disappear in a few hours.
Drink plenty of water. Drinking water is a necessary part of the treatment to facilitate the elimination of the broken-down fat. Maintain a healthy diet to ensure that the energy released by the treatment is properly utilized and metabolized by the body. After the treatment, patients are able to return to their daily activities as usual.
Ultrasonic cavitation treatment is not for everyone. Even though it is a safe and painless procedure, there are contraindications to using cavitation devices for the treatment of localized fat. Such contraindications will depend on the individual’s medical history. Thus, people with kidney failure, liver failure, heart disease, carrying a pacemaker, pregnancy, lactation, etc., are not suitable candidates for cavitation treatment.
Ultrasonic cavitation can be considered as a treatment alternative to surgical liposuction. Both treatments are designed to reduce fatty tissues. However, Liposuction is ‘invasive’ while Ultrasonic Cavitation is non-invasive. It is the first and only FDA-cleared, non-invasive body-shaping procedure to use focused, pulsed ultrasound energy to selectively destroy fat cells.
