What is Cavitation?
Cavitation is a natural phenomenon based on low frequency ultrasound. The ultrasound field creates bubbles in the liquid, which gradually grow, and implode at certain size. As the membranes of fat cells do not have the structural capacity to withstand the vibrations, the effect of cavitation easily breaks them, while sparing the vascular, nervous and muscular tissue.
Is Ultrasonic Cavitation a safe treatment?
Yes, the therapist will complete a medical questionnaire with you to make sure it is safe for you to undergo this kind of treatment. It is a nonsurgical procedure without anesthesia, it is non-invasive (no cutting, leaves no scars or need post-operative course) and it allows for a full social life both before and after the sessions. But remember always to carefully choose the center where you undergo it.
How long has Ultrasonic Cavitation been around?
Ultrasound cavitation in cells was first observed since the 1960's and was introduced in Europe for the first time in 2005. Though relatively new in the United States, aesthetics cavitation has been used throughout the world in the past 13+ years.
Is it possible to lose weight with Ultrasonic Cavitation?
Ultrasonic cavitation is NOT a method to lose weight but rather to shape the body. The treatment is used to reduce stubborn fatty pockets that just won’t go away with diet and exercise.
Are the results of Ultrasonic Cavitation similar to those of liposuction?
Yes, because it removes cellulite preventing this from recurring in the treated areas, without damaging the vascular system.
How many sessions are usually needed?
Between 8 and 12 sessions, however, you will be able to appreciate the results from the third session.
How much time should elapse between sessions?
The body eliminates the fat of a session in 72 hours, so we recommend an interval of 7 days between sessions as the treatment puts considerable pressure on the liver and kidneys.
Is the fat loss permanent?
Essentially yes it is, although it depends if you keep up your healthy low fat diet and fitness regime.
