Cavitation is not designed specifically to lose weight, more so to reshape the body. It is particularly effective in the reduction of the adiposity (love handles) that are hard to reduce through diet and exercise. The treatment offers similar results to liposuction as it removes the cellulite and prevents it from recurring without damaging the vascular system.
This is a non-surgical procedure that is non-invasive and requires no recovery time.
Ultrasound Cavitation is a safe, non-surgical procedure without anaesthesia, it is non-invasive, no cutting, no scars and no downtime should be experienced after the treatment. Due to specific ultrasound parameters of energy levels ensure selective damage to fat cells only and do not interfere with any other organs. There is no report of side effects for these treatments. However, some people may experience transient redness, excessive thirst, and nausea immediately after the treatment which always resolves by drinking water. They are all short-term effects that will disappear shortly.

- Severe high blood pressure or circulation problems
- Cancer
- Deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins,
- Epilepsy
- Hemorrhagic disease, trauma, vascular rupture
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Infectious diseases
- Inflammation of the veins, phlebitis
- Intrauterine device avoid abdomen
- Liver or kidney disease
- Wounds, sores
- Treatment with anti-inflammatories, anticoagulants, antibiotics
- Metal Coil Fitted (tummy area treatments only, new plastic coil is fine)
- Currently Pregnant
- Under 18
Cancer: Cancer cells travel via the lymphatic system, as does waste produced by Ultrasound Cavitation. A treatment presents an unacceptable risk of helping to move cancer cells.
Cold or flu symptoms or fever: Ultrasound Cavitation releases toxins from the body via the lymphatic system, and treatments can exacerbate flu symptoms which also leave the body the same way.
Swollen lymph nodes: Treatments cannot be performed in areas where lymph nodes are swollen, infected, or not draining properly.
Oedema or localized swelling of limbs indicates poor lymphatic flow. Treatments are not designed to alleviate oedema and may in fact exacerbate the condition.
Active Infections & Immunosuppression: These factors compromise the healing ability of the body, and Ultrasound Cavitation should not be attempted until the infection or deficiency is cleared.
Liver, Kidney, or Heart Disease: Compromises the ability of the body to recover from treatments.
Severe hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, or poor circulation of blood and lymph.
Pregnancy: Sound waves generated by the treatment will very likely harm an unborn child’s hearing and may also result in compromising its immune system.
Breastfeeding: As mother’s milk draws nutrients from the body, there is an unacceptable degree of risk that toxins may pass into the milk and therefore be ingested by a nursing child.
Lymph nodes and joints cannot be treated with cavitation.
The face and neck cannot be treated with cavitation however RF can be.
Menstruation: During a period, the abdomen cannot be treated however other areas can be.
Metallic Implants: People who have metal implanted anywhere in their bodies, such as bone pins or pacemakers cannot receive treatment.
Skin allergies or inflammation: Areas with obvious signs of inflammation cannot be treated.
Minors: Due to the changing hormonal and fat deposits in the growing body during puberty, we do not treat clients under 18 years of age with Ultrasound Cavitation or Radio Frequency.
A full assessment during the pre-treatment consultation will determine your suitability. People who experience:
- cardiac or vascular diseases
- diabetes
- acute illness
- comprised liver function
- severe bleeding tendencies
- carry a pacemaker
- women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
should avoid this type of procedure. If you are in any doubt, please consult with your GP.
People who are generally healthy are safe to have the treatment
All areas with localised fat such as thighs, abdomen and buttocks are the most appropriate to be treated. The treatment works on Cellulite, the reduction of general fat and skin tightening. For Cellulite the ultrasound focuses on the superficial fat tissue. Best results are achieved when the ultrasound is applied in conjunction with the radio frequency.
Typically a single fat cavitation session lasts forty minutes when treating a single part of the body. A minimum of 72 hours is required between each session so the body can finish the elimination of the fat. For the best fat reduction results, between six and ten sessions are recommended.
The ultrasound cavitation induces fat emulsification by rupturing the fat cell membrane, releasing its fat content and transforming it into a material that is easily eliminated by the sweat gland, liver sausage circulation, the lymphatic system, and finally through urine.
During and after the cavitation therapy, excess fat is discharged into the interstitial space between the cells. It is converted to glycerol and fatty free acids here. Glycerol is a water-soluble substance that is absorbed by the circulatory system and used as a source of energy.
The insoluble fatty free acids are carried through the liver and kidneys, digested as if they were fatty acids from diets, and then naturally removed from the body.
The majority of consumers believe the treatment is painless and comfortable. Some people may experience some discomfort as a result of the unique noise spreading inside the body, however, this causes no harm and vanishes as soon as the applicator is withdrawn away from the body. During the therapy, you may also feel a heat sensation. If it becomes too heated, apply more ultrasonic gel if this does not make the client comfortable discontinue the treatment right away.
Radio Frequency (RF) devices employ a handpiece that rotates gently across the treatment region. The handpiece sends radio waves through the upper layers of the skin to the dermis, heating it to 39-45°C while leaving the epidermis unharmed.
The application of this heat to the dermis results in three excellent benefits:
- Tissue retraction – The heat produces local contraction of the collagen fibres, tightening the skin and revealing a raised, tighter, and more youthful aspect.
- Heating the dermis encourages the generation of new collagen, which is vital in the fight against indications of ageing. Increased collagen results in plumper, firmer skin with greater flexibility.
- Improved circulation — RF enhances blood and lymphatic flow as well. This promotes increased oxygen supply and toxin clearance, which helps to minimise the signs and consequences of aging.
Radio Frequency (RF) is an efficient approach to enhance skin tightness and elasticity, eliminate wrinkles and cellulite, and improve overall body condition on areas such as the face, chin, upper arm, abdomen, thighs, bra line, and buttocks. The procedure causes tissue remodelling as well as the synthesis of new collagen and elastin. The procedure is an alternative to facelifts and other cosmetic procedures. Clients who have undergone botox, dermal fillers, or laser treatments can benefit from RF. Clients must wait at least one week before receiving any treatments.
