Cavitation

Ultrasonic cavitation, or ultrasound cavitation, is a cosmetic procedure that’s used to break apart fat deposits in your body. The treatment claims to work as an effective, less invasive alternative to liposuction.

Ultrasonic cavitation, also called ultrasonic lipolysis, is a body contouring treatment that is used to remove fat deposits under your skin. It can also be referred to by brand names, such as Liponix or Ultrashape.

This procedure is a safer alternative to surgical options, like liposuction. The treatment uses ultrasonic radio waves to break apart fat cells, which are then absorbed into your body by your lymphatic system.

Ultrasonic cavitation is different than other similar treatments, like ultrasound liposuction, because it doesn’t require any incisions. This means recovery is easier. It also means that results might be less noticeable.

The ideal candidate for ultrasonic cavitation:

  • is in good overall health
  • doesn’t smoke
  • has realistic expectations
  • is already within 15 pounds of their goal weight

Ultrasonic cavitation is meant to target small areas of fat and help contour your body. It isn’t a treatment for people who are trying to lose a lot of weight.

The verdict is still out on how well ultrasound cavitation works. There’s promising evidence to suggest that this is an effective body contouring treatment.

How it works

  • The Cavitation method uses ultrasound waves that produce alternating compression and decompression on fat cells, causing them to explode. This is why it is especially useful in areas that are difficult to reduce by diet or exercise.

    The system is designed not to damage blood vessels or adjacent lymphatic vessels because of their difference in consistency and elasticity. Fat cells, on the other hand, are not elastic.

    Due to their size and constitution, they can be reduced by the gentle touch of Cavitation waves.

The Benefits

  • Our clients are constantly expecting new products and treatments in order to achieve desirable body shape. Cavitation satisfies these expectations due to its safe, and convenient application, that is done non- surgically.

    Sustainable results require 6-8 sessions. Some patients come in their tightest jeans for the first consultation and wear them after each session to monitor stubborn fat removal a very exciting way! However, we do provide circumference measurements to monitor progress

    To sufficiently remove stubborn fat we often combine with cavitation a personalized nutritional program based on integrative Medical approach and DNA Analysis.
