Body Contouring Fat Dissolve & Skin Tightening
HOW IT WORKS
Ultrasonic or ultrasound cavitation is the use of ultrasonic technology to break down fat cells below the skin. It is a non-surgical method of reducing cellulite and localized fat.
This procedure involves applying vibrations and heat on fat cells through ultrasonic vibrations. The procedure allows the fat cells to break down into a liquid form. The body can then get rid of it as waste through your lymphatic system and urine.
The broken-down fat cells go from the body to the liver where they are excreted as waste. This series of treatment is used along side a healthy diet and exercise to help with getting rid of excessive fat. It is a preferred method to other invasive procedures of eliminating body fat. Once the fat cells are broken down they can not grow back, however if you gain weight your body will produce new fat cells. So it is important to continue with a healthy lifestyle to see the best results.
Ultrasonic cavitation tones the body using radio frequencies and low-frequency ultrasonic waves. These waves form bubbles around fat deposits under the skin. The bubbles then burst, breaking the fat deposits into the interstitial and the lymphatic systems where they are drained. The fat deposits are changed into glycerol and free fatty acids. Glycerol is then reused by the body while free fatty acids travel to the liver and are excreted as waste.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does ultrasonic cavitation last?
The procedure is customized according to an individual's needs and goals, it might take longer and more treatments for some than others to see the results. Individuals should see optimal results between 6 to 12 weeks. Results continue to improve with each treatment.
Which body parts are best for ultrasonic cavitation?
Ultrasonic cavitation works best on parts with localized fat.
Ultrasonic cavitation reduces the body’s fat deposits that can be hard to get rid of by exercising and diet alone. Ultrasonic cavitation is best for breaking down adipose fat and improving the appearance of cellulite. This treatment improves body shape and contour and reduces circumference.
Post Procedure
It is vital to drink lots of water and maintain a low-calorie balanced diet and exercise after completing the cavitation procedure. Drinking 2 - 3 litres of water a day may help flush and excrete the body of toxins and fat, as well may improve kidney and liver function, which will improve results of the procedure.
Who Should Not Undergo The Procedure
The following individuals should not undergo the procedure:
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women
- Infection or inflammation in the region where the procedure will be done
- People with a cardiac pacemaker or other metal implants
- Persons with coagulation disorders or taking medication that affects blood clotting
- Individuals with serious medical conditions like diabetes
