Frequently Asked Questions And Answers

Q.What is Ultrasound Cavitation?

Ultrasound Cavitation is a relatively new aesthetic treatment. Using leading edge technology it converts fat cells into liquid which can then be naturally drained by the body’s own natural filtration system.  Generally one fat cavitation treatment lasts 25 – 60 minutes where a single part of the body is treated. Client is advised to take intermittent breaks averaging 48-72 hours between each session so that the body can eliminate the fat. The minimum suggested number of fat cavitation sessions is between 3 and 10.

Q.How does Ultrasound Cavitation work?

Our therapist will first conduct wood therapy, thereafter apply a specially designed hand piece to your skin. The hand piece will then transmit low level ultrasonic waves which consist of compression – expansion impulses that travel in high-speed cycles. This back and forth cycle then causes an infinite quantity of micro-cavities or micro-bubbles that gradually enlarge. This progressive enlargement finishes as micro-bubbles start to collide and implode, producing shock waves that favor emulsification and elimination of fat tissues (this phenomena is called “cavitation”). The liquid is then easily vacuumed out from the body using the lymphatic and urinary system.

Q.Is ultrasound cavitation painful and safe?

No, cavitation 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.  This treatment is a nonsurgical procedure without anesthesia – it’s non-invasive (no cutting, leaves no scars or the need for any post-operative course) and no downtime should be experienced after the treatment.

Q.Which are the areas where treatment is more effective?

All those areas with localized fat: thighs, arms, back, abdomen, face and buttocks are the most appropriate but there is no real limitation as to areas of the body.

Q.Can you lose weight with ultrasonic cavitation?

Cavitation is not a method to lose weight but to reshape the body. It is particularly indicated for the reduction of adiposity, the famous “love handles” that won’t go away with diet and exercise.  Treatments remove cellulite preventing fat cells from recurring in the treated areas, without damaging the vascular system.

Q.Fat is a solid substance right?  How can it be eliminated through the urine?

Because ultrasound cavitation causes an emulsification of fat, converting it into a substance easy to eliminate through the urinary and the lymphatic system.

Q. What do I need to do before my treatments?

We recommend a low calorie diet and drink at least 1.5 litres of water before and after the session. Drinking water is a necessary part in order to eliminate the fat. Regular exercise such as walking or other aerobic activities is also advised to be maintained in order to help the system to naturally process the fat after the treatment.

Q.Number of treatments and treatment frequency for each area:

Ultrasound Cavitation: 3-10

Q.Advantages over other treatments:

• Non invasive treatment

• No need for hospitalization nor anesthesia

• No scars nor long term marking of the skin

• Very little discomfort

• Elimination of the fat through a natural process

• 20-60 min per session

• Affordable

• Improve blood circulation & lymph circulation

• Improve skin texture

• Body tighten, excellent performance of Body shaping

• Remove fat cells permanently

• Cellulite Therapy

• Connective tissue tightening

• More effective if combines with Fractional Laser, Radio Frequency, IPL, Thermo-C System and Tridermo RF

Q.Preparation before each treatment:

Drink at least 1.5 to 2 litters  (2-3 glasses) of water a day a week before your treatment.  Choose an area you wanted to treat and start moisturizing that area thoroughly everyday and at night. Hydration will help make the treatment a lot more successful.

Q.What is Bipolar Radiofrequency – RF?

Bipolar Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a new and promising technology for non-surgical tightening of the early signs of loose or sagging skin.  RF energy alone is primarily used to treat skin laxity by tightening, and is best suited to patients with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually those in their mid-thirties to fifties, with any skin colour.  It is commonly used to treat the forehead, under the eyes, cheeks, mid-face, jaw line and the neck.  RF can also be used in conjunction with ultrasound cavitation to aid in further fat breakdown and also to tighten the skin in the same area the cavitation treatment has taken place.

Q.How does Bipolar Radiofrequency work – RF?

The hand piece is slowly rotated over the target area transmitting radio waves through the upper layers of the skin to the dermis, heating the dermis to between 40 & 50 degrees Celsius without burning the skin surface.

1. Tissue Retraction: The generated heat causes local contraction of the collagen fibres, to immediately tighten the skin.
2. New collagen formation: By heating the dermis, new collagen production is stimulated.  This tightening effect may be delayed and may take from 3-6 months to be visible, in other words; results are progressive.
3. Improved circulation: RF will also improve the blood and lymphatic flow.  This helps with a better oxygen supply and greater toxin clearance to further reduce the effects of aging.
How can I enhance the effects of CAVITATION Slimming sessions?

By combining a balanced diet with regular physical exercise. Added to which, drainage massage can also be very useful. 

Q.When is it inadvisable to use CAVITATION SLIMMING procedure?

• if you are pregnant or think you might be 

• if you have any kind of heart disease

• osteoporosis 

• fibromyalgia 

• malignant tumours

• kidney problems

• metal implants or prostheses 

• epilepsy

• psychiatric or psychological treatment 

• liver problems (fatty liver)

Q.Can I use CAVITATION Slimming equipment during menstruation?

Use on the abdominal area is not advisable during menstruation as it may cause increased bleeding. However, it can be applied in other areas. 

Q.Can I use CAVITATION Slimming equipment if I have hearing implants?

Do not use it if you have implants fitted.
