What is Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation & RF Skin Tightening?
Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation and RF Skin Tightening is a revolutionary new procedure that melts fat away and tightens the skin, sculpting the body without the risk of surgical procedures.
How does Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation and RF Skin Tightening work?
Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation is a revolutionary treatment that melts fat away and sculpts the body by eliminating fat and toxins through the lymphatic system. The treatment uses ultrasonic radio waves to break apart fat cells which results in lost inches on the targeted area.
Radio Frequency Skin Tightening is quickly becoming the preferred way of tightening the skin. The non invasive procedure involves using energy waves to heat the deep layers of the skin which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to tighten and lift the skin fibres.
Does it hurt?
The treatment is completely safe, non invasive and pain free. You may feel a warm sensation during the procedure and a ringing noise from the Fat Cavitation machine.
Do I need to prep prior to my treatment?
Please see the pre and post care for further information.
Differences between Body cavitation and body freezing
Body cavitation and body freezing are both non-invasive cosmetic procedures used for fat reduction and body contouring, but they utilize different techniques and technologies to achieve their results.
1. Technology
Body Cavitation: Body cavitation, also known as ultrasound cavitation uses ultrasound waves to break down and liquefy fat cells in targeted areas of the body. This technology involves the use of low-frequency ultrasound waves to disrupt fat cells without harming surrounding tissues.
Body Freezing: Body freezing, commonly referred to as cryolipolysis uses cold temperatures to freeze and destroy fat cells. It involves the controlled cooling of fat cells, which causes them to crystallize and ultimately die.
2. Mechanism of Action
Body Cavitation: Ultrasound cavitation generates pressure waves that create tiny bubbles within the fat cells. The rapid expansion and contraction of these bubbles lead to the disruption of the fat cell membrane, releasing the fat into the bloodstream for natural elimination through the lymphatic system.
Body Freezing: Cryolipolysis works by exposing fat cells to cold temperatures that cause them to undergo apoptosis, a natural cell death process. Over time, the body’s immune system clears away the dead fat cells.
3. Treatment Process
Body Cavitation: During a body cavitation session, a handheld device is used to deliver ultrasound energy to the targeted area. It’s typically a painless and relatively quick procedure.
Body Freezing: In body freezing treatments, a specialized applicator is placed on the treatment area, and controlled cooling is applied. Patients may experience a cold sensation, tingling, or mild discomfort during the procedure.
4. Results and Timeline
Body Cavitation: Results from body cavitation may become noticeable after a few sessions, but multiple treatments are usually required for significant fat reduction. The full effects can take several weeks to months to be realized as the body metabolizes the released fat.
Body Freezing: Cryolipolysis may also require multiple sessions for optimal results. Improvement can be seen within a few weeks, with continued reduction in fat over several months as the body eliminates the dead fat cells.
5. Side Effects
Body Cavitation: Common side effects are minimal and may include temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort at the treatment site.
Body Freezing: Side effects of cryolipolysis include temporary numbness, bruising, and soreness at the treatment site. Rarely, some patients may experience paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, where the fat cells in the treated area increase in size.
