Health & Skincare / Aesthetics (Ultrasound Cavitation)

In HEALTH AND SKINCARE / AESTHETICS, Ultrasound Cavitation is an increasingly popular and painless body procedure that reduces fat and cellulite and improves the appearance of the body.  

What is cavitation? In Health and Skincare (Aesthetics), we learn that cavitation is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses ultrasound technology to reduce fat cells in targeted areas of the body. It is the preferred option for anyone who does not want to undergo extreme options such as liposuction, or a gastric bypass. It does not involve any needles or surgery. In addition to that, it has zero recovery time and is painless – often taking less than an hour. 

How does ultrasound work? Ultrasound uses waves that produce alternating compression and decompression of fat cells through heat, causing them to be broken down into smaller pieces, then be absorbed into the bloodstream then eventually excreted by the body through the lymphatic system.

This method does not damage the blood nor lymphatic vessels because of the difference in consistency and elasticity. Fat cells are not elastic; hence they respond to the ultrasonic waves.

An ultrasound device like that used in pregnancy scans is applied to the targeted area, along with a specially designed cream. This device transmits concentrated levels of ultrasonic energy waves that target and destroy subcutaneous fat cells in the fat cell membrane. This procedure is not a weight loss treatment, the results you will see will be more of a circumferential reduction, in other words, you can’t know how much fat tissue you’ve lost, but you’ll notice by centimeters of how much fat you’ve lost in that targeted area.
