What is Ultrasonic Cavitation?
Ultrasonic cavitation is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to target and break down fat cells. The ultrasound energy generates heat and pressure, which liquefies the fat cells and releases their contents into the surrounding tissue. The body’s lymphatic system then naturally processes and eliminates these waste products, resulting in a reduction of fat in the treated area.
What is Radio Frequency?
Radio frequency (RF) is another non-invasive technique that employs electromagnetic energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. By penetrating deep into the skin’s layers, RF energy heats the tissue, which causes the existing collagen fibers to contract and stimulates new collagen growth. This results in a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance.
How Are These Treatments Used Together for Enhanced Results?
Combining ultrasonic cavitation and radio frequency can provide a comprehensive approach to body contouring and skin tightening, especially after cosmetic surgery. While ultrasonic cavitation focuses on breaking down and eliminating fat cells, radio frequency targets the skin’s deeper layers to promote collagen growth and improve skin elasticity. This synergistic effect helps to enhance the overall results, providing a more contoured and toned appearance.
Areas of the Body Suitable for Treatment
Ultrasonic cavitation and radio frequency treatments can be used on various parts of the body, including the arms, legs, abdomen, and buttocks. These areas often accumulate stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, making them ideal targets for these non-invasive procedures.
Expected Results and Number of Sessions
Most clients experience a noticeable reduction in fat and improved skin tone after just one session, with an average loss of 1⁄2 to 3 inches in the treated area. However, for optimal results, it is generally recommended to undergo 6-12 sessions, spaced one to two weeks apart. The exact number of sessions required will depend on factors such as the client’s individual goals, the area being treated, and the extent of fat reduction desired.
