Ultrasound Cavitation is a relatively new clinical aesthetic treatment. Using leading-edge technology it converts fat cells into liquid which can then be naturally drained by the body’s own natural filtration system the lymphatic drainage process helps speed up the results, as the body’ drainage system is very effective at eliminating liquids.
We use a handpiece that transmits low-level ultrasonic waves which consist of compression-expansion impulses that travel in high-speed cycles. Causing a number of micro-cavities or micro-bubbles to gradually enlarge. The enlargement finishes as micro-bubbles start to collide and implode, producing shock waves that favor emulsification and elimination of fat tissues (this phenomenon is called “cavitation”). The liquid is then easily vacuumed out from the body using the lymphatic and urinary system.
Bipolar Radiofrequency (RF)energy is a new technology for non-surgical tightening of the early signs of loose or sagging skin. RF energy alone is primarily used to treat skin laxity by tightening and is best suited to patients with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually those in their mid-thirties to fifties, with any skin color. It is commonly used to treat the forehead, under the eyes, cheeks, mid-face, jaw line, and the neck. RF can also be used in conjunction with ultrasound cavitation to aid in further fat breakdown and also to tighten the skin in the same area the cavitation treatment has taken place.
The handpiece is slowly rotated over the target area transmitting radio waves through the upper layers of the skin to the dermis, heating the dermis to between 40 & 50 degrees Celsius without burning the skin surface.
Most people are safe to have the treatment. Your practitioner will be able to determine your suitability. People with cardiac and vascular diseases, pacemaker carriers and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid undergoing the procedure, or contact your local GP if you are not sure.
No, cavitation is a painless treatment. Mild redness may appear occasionally but will be highly unlikely to cause any actual pain. The heat from the handpieces felt during the treatment is perfectly tolerable.
All those areas with localized fat: thighs, abdomen, and buttocks are the most appropriate but there is no real limitation as to areas of the body.
Cavitation is not a method to lose weight but to reshape the body. It is particularly indicated for the reduction of adiposity, the famous “love handles” that won’t go away with diet and exercise and helps improve skin texture.
Because ultrasound cavitation causes emulsification of fat, converting it into a substance easy to eliminated through the urinary and the lymphatic system.
How much time should elapse between sessions?
The body eliminates the fat of single a session in approximately 3 – 5 days, so we recommend an interval of around one week between each session.
