FAQ/ BEST PRACTICES/ CONTRAINDICATIONS
Ultrasound Cavitation is one of the most advanced systems on today’s market.
Using Ultrasound Cavitation and Radio Frequency, the Cavitation Lipolysis Treatment allows your body to break down fat cells. These cells are then metabolized through your body’s natural removal processes. Unlike traditional liposuction, Cavitation Liposuction uses no injections, anesthesia, and there is no down time making it the perfect treatment for removal of fat and cellulite.
How does Ultrasound Cavitation work?
Liquefy your fat cells with the power of sound waves. Ultrasound Cavitation is a leading-edge technology that disrupts fat cells, emulsifies and turns them into liquid, later to be excreted by the body through your normal metabolic process.
Low frequency ultrasound waves pass through the skin, leaving a path of vibration throughout the fatty tissue. Once the fat cell’s membrane is burst, then the heat, ultrasound cavitation and massage converts the fat cells into liquid. Once emulsified, 90% of the liquid fat will excrete through the lymphatic and urinary system.
When applied in conjunction with Radio Frequency (RF), the heating and cavitation effects can also promote collagen realignment and as a result will tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles.
Common Treatment Areas Include:
The ultrasound cavitation treatment will often yield immediate results which you can feel, touch and see and it can be long lasting. Some clients can experience between 1 to 5 cm of circumference reduction after a single session with increasing results after subsequent visits. However, more significant results will be noticed after the second and third treatment. Normally, multiple sessions are required, generally 1 per week until you’ve had about 6-12 treatments in total, this will depend on the results you want.
Can I lose weight with Ultrasound Cavitation?
Ultrasound Cavitation is not a treatment for obesity nor is it a weight loss procedure. Rather is a method for ‘reshaping’ and ‘toning’ the body. It is particularly intended to reduce localized fat tissues which are resistant to exercise around the abdomen (love handles), buttocks, and thighs (saddle bags), that won’t easily go away by simple dieting and exercise.

Before & Aftercare Advice for Best Results
- Start with a 7 day cleanse/Total Body Detox (available at the studio)
- Drink at least 2 liters of water before your treatment and another 2 liters per day following your treatment (soft drink, soda, juice or tea is NOT water).
- Refrain from ANY alcohol consumption for 2 – 3 days following your treatments. Alcohol can prevent your liver from working to remove fats as it will make alcohol metabolism its priority before fat removal and could hinder your results.
- Refrain from caffeine for 3-4 days prior to your treatment and for 48 hours after treatment. If you absolutely can not skip your coffee for 3-4 days prior, then refrain from it the day before and the day of your appointment, along with the 48 hours after.
- Avoid eating large meals 2 hours prior to and 1 hour after your treatment.
- Refrain from aspirin, ibuprofen, or other anti-inflammatory products for 2 days prior and after your treatment unless prescribed by your Dr. If you are taking a prescribed medication continue taking as prescribed by your Dr. Just realize it may slow your results.
- Localize the treatment area after the treatment, such as using a body brush, using body moisturizer every day, and massage recommended moisturizer freely in the treatment area. The use of dry skin brushing daily to stimulate lymph movement (your therapist will show you how to do this). This is not mandatory but will hasten the results.
- Diet: Follow a low carb, low starch, low sugar diet for best results.
- At least 20 minutes of high heart rate cardio workouts after treatment, It is best to do it immediately after treatment and in the next three days(this is the minimum, 45 minutes is best) after your treatment to stimulate lymph movement.
- No treatments on tummy/abdomen area 1-2 days prior to or during your menstrual cycle, as this will cause heavy bleeding.
