What is Ultrasound Cavitation?

Ultrasound cavitation is a highly effective weight loss procedure used to treat problem areas like your inner and outer thigh, stomach, buttocks, and other areas prone to cellulite and weight gain. Ultrasound cavitation works to reduce inches, not pounds, so you’ll notice your clothing fits better and you have a more slim, fit appearance. Like other body contouring procedures, ultrasonic cavitation does work, though there are limits to the amount of body fat you can get rid of with this procedure. You can remove stubborn fat deposits of cellulite or adipose tissue in small treated areas, but this is a body shaping procedure, and should not be thought of as an option for serious weight loss.

How Ultrasound Cavitation Works

Ultrasound cavitation works by using high energy waves. These waves hit the body and create microbubbles made of vapor between fat tissue and interstitial liquid. This causes the interstitial liquid to expand and contract, and eventually implode. The water and fat are then released and absorbed and processed by the liver.

During the procedure, a gel will be placed on your skin to reduce inflammation. The doctor will then use the machine to penetrate your fat cells and release them for processing.

Ultrasound Cavitation Benefits

This natural fat removal technique can lead to a slimmer, more attractive physique. It’s very safe and completely painless. Ultrasound cavitation is very effective at reducing cellulite and giving you the lean physique you’ve always wanted. It’s perfect for men and women who already work out and enjoy a healthy diet, but have trouble areas they just can’t get rid of.

What Should I Expect?

After your ultrasound cavitation procedure, you might find yourself feeling a little tired. This procedure is done without anesthetic, however, because is causes your liver to have to kick into high gear to process the fat, you might experience a slight hike in your temperature.

Other side effects aren’t common, but you might experience some redness and swelling that will go away within a couple of days. You might also notice your skin is a little drier, which can be treated with a moisturizer.
