Frequently Asked Questions About Ultrasound Fat Reduction and Skin Tightening
What is Ultrasound Cavitation?
Benefits of Ultrasound Cavitation
-
Painless and Non-Surgical way to remove fat and cellulite.
-
Cellulite and Fat Reduction in problem areas: Thighs, hips, stomach, back, arms, chin, etc.
-
Tighten and tone skin, reduce sagging skin.
-
It is FAST and EFFECTIVE. Start seeing results after just ONE 25 - 30minute session!
What is Bipolar Radiofrequency – RF?
Bipolar Radio-frequency (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 color. 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 to tighten the skin in the same area the cavitation treatment has taken place.

What is Ultrasound Cavitation?
Ultrasound Cavitation is one of the most advanced systems in today’s market.
What are the benefits of Ultrasound Cavitation
• Painless and Non-Surgical way to remove fat and cellulite.
• Cellulite and Fat Reduction in problem areas: Thighs, hips, stomach, back, arms, chin, etc.
• Tighten and tone skin, reduce sagging skin.
• It is Fast and effective and you can start seeing results after the first 25 - 30minute session
What is Bipolar Radiofrequency – RF?
Bipolar Radio-frequency (RF) energy is a new and promising technology for non-surgical tightening of the early signs of loose or sagging skin.
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.
• Tissue Retraction: The generated heat causes local contraction of the collagen fibers to immediately tighten the skin.
• New collagen formation: By heating the dermis, new collagen production is stimulated. This tightening effect is delayed and may take from 3-6 months to be visible.
• 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.
Who is suitable for Ultrasound and Bipolar RF treatments?
Most people are safe to have the treatment. People with cardiac and vascular diseases, pacemaker carriers and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid undergoing the process
Is Ultrasound cavitation painful?
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
Is Ultrasound cavitation a safe treatment?
Yes, it is a nonsurgical process without anesthesia, it is non-invasive (no cutting, leaves no scars or the need for any post-operative course) and no downtime should be experienced after the treatment
What parts of the body is the treatment most effective?
All those areas with localized fat: thighs, abdomen and buttocks are the most appropriate but there is no real limitation as to areas of the body
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.
Fat is a solid substance, how can it be eliminated through urine?
Because ultrasound cavitation causes an emulsification of fat, converting it into a substance easy to eliminate through the urinary and the lymphatic system.
Must you follow any guidelines before or after undergoing ultrasound cavitation?
A low-calorie diet is recommended and drink at least 1.5 liters 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 should also be maintained in order to help the system to naturally process the fat after the treatment.
How much time should elapse between one session of ultrasound cavitation before another?
The body eliminates the fat of single a session in approximately 3 – 5 days, so a minimum of 3 days is recommended between each session.
Number of treatments and treatment frequency for each application:
• Ultrasound Cavitation: 6 – 10 treatments spaced one week apart
• Skin Tightening: 6 – 10 treatments spaced one week apart
