What is the Ultrasound Fat Cavitation treatment like?
The procedure starts with circumference measurement of the target body area, then a gel is applied so the ultrasound device can be directly applied to specific areas of the skin, the device is then continued with circular and sideway movements of the applicator over the treatment site. For a combo session, a Radio Frequency hand piece is used which is slowly rotated over the targeted area, transmitting radio waves to the skin heating it 40 to 50 degrees Celsius without burning the skin’s surface. The heat causes contraction of the collagen fibres to immediately tighten the skin. Then finalized with another circumference measurement. The duration of treatment sessions normally take around 10-30 minutes each depending on the number of session you are on, size of the area and the thickness of the fat layer. Results can sometimes be noticed after the first treatment with more improvement noticed within a few days. 2-4 sessions at 3 day intervals are recommended in order to achieve an ideal result. Then 4-8 are done weekly and 8-12 are done bi-weekly. After that, more sessions can be obtained if needed on a weekly or monthly basis.
How does it feel during the Ultrasound or Cavitation treatment?
Most people feel the treatment is painless and comfortable. Some people may feel slight discomfort due to the specific noise spreading inside the body (a ringing in the ears), but causes no harm and disappears as soon as the applicator is moved away from the body. You may also experience warmth during the treatment if you’re getting RF done. If on the slim chance it gets too warm, you can let your Esthetician know so that extra ultrasound gel can be applied.
What can be treated with the Ultrasound Fat Cavitation and Radio Frequency system?
- Fat & Cellulite reduction
- Skin tightening and fat melting
- Body Sculpting
What can be treated with Radio Frequency(RF)?
RF is an effective way to improve skin tightness and elasticity, reduce wrinkles and cellulite, boosting the overall condition on areas of the body such as the face, chin, upper arm, abdomen, thighs, bra line or buttocks.
Who can have Ultrasound and RF treatments?
People who are generally healthy are safe to have the treatment.
Who can’t have Ultrasound and RF treatments?
People with cancer, cardiac and vascular diseases, diabetes, acute illness, comprised liver function, severe bleeding tendencies, pacemaker carriers and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid undergoing the procedure.
Is Ultrasound Cavitation & RF painful?
Cavitation and RF is a painless treatment. Mild redness may appear occasionally but will be highly unlikely to cause any actual pain. The heat from the hand pieces felt during the treatment is perfectly tolerable.
Are Ultrasound Cavitation & RF safe? Are there any side effects?
Ultra Cavitation and RF are safe, nonsurgical procedures without anesthesia, they are non-invasive, no cutting, no scars and no downtime should be experienced after the treatments. Due to specific ultrasound parameters of energy levels, this machine ensures selective damage to fat cells only and does not interfere with any other organs. There is no report of side effects for these treatments. However some people may experience transient redness, excessive thirst, and nausea immediately after the treatment which always resolves by drinking water. They are all short-term effects that will disappear shortly.
What can one expect with the results with Cavitation?
The cavitation treatment yields immediate and long lasting results. Ultra cavitation is a very effective procedure that requires treatments consisting of 10-30 minutes each. Most of the clients experience noticeable circumference reduction after a single session with increasing results after each visit. The results may vary with different tissue structure, treatment area, age, metabolism, medications, diet, exercise and changes in hormones. Proper diet and increased physical activity will certainly improve and help to maintain the results.
Which areas are suitable for the treatment?
Areas where diet and exercise alone have not been able to target localized fat such as thighs, abdomen, arms and buttocks, are the most appropriate. However, there is no real limitation as to areas of the body.
Can Ultrasound Fat Cavitation help lose weight?
Cavitation is not a method to lose weight but to reshape the body. It is particularly indicated for the reduction of adiposity, like the famous “love handles”, “Mummy Tummy” and “Baby Fat”. Ultrasound cavitation can be considered a deep fat blaster that reduces stubborn fat cells that cannot be removed with exercise and diet alone. That being said, as you start to lose inches around the body, you will notice a drop in pounds/kg as well.
What is the difference between ultrasound fat cavitation and liposuction?
The Ultrasound Cavitation has similar results as liposuction. It removes cellulite and excess fat, preventing this from recurring in the treated areas, without damaging the vascular system. The procedure is painless and is very inexpensive compared to the thousands of dollars you could spend on liposuction.
How is the fat eliminated from the body?
The ultrasound cavitation causes an emulsification of fat, it ruptures fat cell membranes, thereby releasing its fat content, converting it into a substance easy to eliminate through sweat glands, liver circulation, lymphatic system which eventually eliminate through urine.
Do I need to follow any guidelines before or after undergoing Ultrasound Fat Cavitation & RF?
- Try to avoid doing anything that will irritate your skin immediately before treatment. This includes tanning (natural or artificial). It would be more likely to suffer pain from the addition of heat to the already damaged skin; however an established tan would be fine.
- Do not have a hot shower, bath or sauna right after the Ultrasound treatment.
- We recommend a low calorie diet with protein in each meal and drink at least a glass of warm water (not carbonated, sparkling water, pop, coffee) before and after the session. Drinking plenty of water and having exercise such as brisk walking, biking or other aerobic activities for at least 3 days after the treatment to stimulate the lymphatic activity, as elimination of the fat continues through the Lymphatic System for 72 hrs. Follow by a suitable exercise routine. Cavitation will be best performed under high hydration conditions, avoid taking any caffeine or diuretics 2 days before therapy. Drinking a lot of water will help to improve your metabolism and increase urine output — lipid metabolites release out of your body.
- A lymph-drainage massage is also encouraged to improve the circulation and lymphatic system, which helps to drain fluids.
- For best results you should refrain from any alcohol consumption for 48 hours after the treatment. Alcohol consumption during this period may prevent your liver from removing the deactivated fat cells from your body (as the liver will assign priority to removing the alcohol from your blood).
- Maintaining an un-stressful life style also helps the body flush out the fat more efficiently.
How many times and how often should I have the treatments?
Ultrasound Cavitation: 2-4 sessions spaced 3 days apart for the first 4 sessions, then once a week for sessions 5-8 and bi-weekly 9-12.
RF: 2-4 sessions spaced 3 days apart for the first 4 sessions, then once a week for sessions 5-8 and bi-weekly 9-12.
After the initial treatments are completed, maintenance treatments consist of one session each month for 4 months followed by one treatment every 4 months.
