What is Cavitation?

Cavitation is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses ultrasonic technology to reduce localized fat deposits and improve body shape.

How Does it Work?

Ultrasonic cavitation works by employing radio frequencies and low-frequency ultrasonic waves to target fat cells beneath the skin. These waves create microscopic bubbles around the fat deposits. When these bubbles burst, they disrupt the fat cells, breaking them down into glycerol and free fatty acids. Glycerol is absorbed and utilized by the body, while free fatty acids are processed by the liver and eliminated as waste. This process not only reduces fat but also helps to tone and contour the treated areas.

How Long Do Ultrasonic Cavitation Sessions Last?

The duration and number of ultrasonic cavitation sessions vary based on individual needs. Typically, a complete treatment plan requires one to three sessions, with each session lasting between 45 to 75 minutes. Sessions are usually spaced two weeks apart. Visible results can be seen within 6 to 12 weeks after the treatment, as the body gradually processes and eliminates the disrupted fat cells.

Which Body Parts Are Best for Ultrasonic Cavitation?

Ultrasonic cavitation is most effective on areas with localized fat deposits. Ideal treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, and upper arms. It is not suitable for bony areas such as the head, neck, or other parts with minimal fat deposits.

The skin is then rinsed with lukewarm water and gently patted dry with a clean towel. To ensure maximum sterility and effectiveness of the microneedling treatment, an antiseptic solution may be applied to the skin. 

This meticulous cleansing routine helps prevent infections and ensures that the Dermopen can penetrate the skin more effectively, enhancing the overall results of the treatment.
