Frequently Asked Questions
................
WHAT IS THE ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION TREATMENT LIKE?
................
The procedure starts with circumference measurement of the target body area, applies the ultrasonic device directly to specific areas of the skin after a gel is applied, and continues with circular movements of the applicator over the treatment site, for a Combo session a Radio Frequency hand piece is used which is slowly rotated over the targeted area, transmitting radio waves to the skin heating it 40 to 50 degrees Celsius without burning the skin surface. The heat causes contraction of the collagen fibers to immediately tighten the skin. Then finalized with another circumference measurement. The duration of the treatment session normally takes around 30 minutes each depending on the size of the area and the thickness of the fat layer Results can sometimes be noticed after the first treatment with more improvement noticed within a few days. 6 - 10 sessions at 3 days intervals are recommended to achieve an ideal result, but further treatments may be needed to attain your desired figure.
HOW DOES IT FEEL DURING THE ULTRASONIC OR RF TREATMENT?
................
Most people feel the treatment is painless and comfortable. Some people may feel slight discomfort due to the specific noise spreading inside the body, but causes no harm and disappears as soon as the applicator is moved away from the body. You may also experience warmth during the treatment. If on a slim chance it gets too warm you can request, immediately some extra ultrasound gel to be applied.
WHAT CAN BE TREATED WITH RADIO FREQUENCY(RF)?
................
RF is an effective way to improve skin tightness and elasticity, reduce wrinkles and cellulite, boosting the overall condition on areas of the body such as the face, chin, upper arm, abdomen, thighs, bra line, or buttocks.
WHO CAN HAVE ULTRASOUND AND RF TREATMENTS?
................
People who are generally healthy are safe to have the treatment. People with cardiac and vascular diseases, diabetes, acute illness, compromised liver function, severe bleeding tendencies, pacemaker carriers, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid undergoing the procedure.
IS ULTRASOUND CAVITATION & RF PAINFUL?
................
Cavitation and RF are painless treatments. 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 & RF SAFE? ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
................
Ultrasound Cavitation is a safe, nonsurgical procedure without anesthesia, it is non-invasive, with no cutting, no scars, and no downtime should be experienced after the treatment. 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 on the side effects of 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.
WHAT CAN ONE EXPECT FROM THE RESULTS?
................
The cavitation treatment yields immediate and long-lasting results. Ultrasound cavitation is a very effective procedure that requires only 6-10 treatments consisting ofĀ 30 minutes each. Most of the clients experience noticeable circumference reduction after a single session with increasing results after each visit. The results may vary with different tissue structures, treatment areas, age, metabolism, medications, and changes in hormones. A proper diet and increased physical activity will certainly improve and help to maintain the results.
WHICH AREAS ARE SUITABLE FOR THE TREATMENT?
................
Areas with localized fat such as thighs, abdomen, arms, and buttocks where diet and exercise alone have not been able to get rid of are the most appropriate but there is no real limitation as to areas of the body.
CAN ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION LOSE WEIGHT?
................
Cavitation is not a method to lose weight but to reshape the body. It is particularly indicated for the reduction of adiposity like the famous “love handles”, and “mummy tummy”. Ultrasonic cavitation can be considered a deep fat blaster that reduces stubborn fat cells that cannot be removed with exercise and diet alone.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION AND LIPOSUCTION?
................
Ultrasonic Cavitation has a similar result as liposuction. It removes cellulite and excess fat. preventing this from recurring in the treated areas, without damaging the vascular system. The procedure is painless and is very inexpensive compared to the thousands of dollars you could spend on liposuction.
HOW IS THE FAT ELIMINATED FROM THE BODY?
................
Ultrasound cavitation causes an emulsification of fat, it ruptures the fat cell membrane, thereby releasing its fat content, converting it into a substance easy to eliminate through the sweat gland, liver sausage circulation, and the lymphatic system, which is eventually eliminated through urine.
DO I NEED TO FOLLOW ANY GUIDELINES BEFORE OR AFTER UNDERGOING ULTRASOUND FAT CAVITATION AND RF?
................
Try to avoid doing anything that will irritate your skin immediately before treatment. This includes tanning (natural or artificial). It would be more likely to suffer pain from the addition of heat to the already damaged skin; however, an established tan would be fine. Do not have a hot shower, bath, or sauna right after the Ultrasound treatment. We recommend a low-calorie diet with protein in each meal and drinking at least a glass of warm water (not carbonated, sparkling water, pop, or coffee) before and after the session. Drinking plenty of water and having exercise such as brisk walking, biking, or other aerobic activities for at least 3 days after the treatment to stimulate the lymphatic activity as the elimination of the fat continues through the Lymphatic System for 72 hours. Follow by a suitable exercise routine. Cavitation will be best performed under high hydration conditions, avoid taking any caffeine or diuretics 2 days before therapy. Drinking a lot of water will help to improve your metabolism and increase urine output -- lipid metabolites release out of your body. A lymph-draining massage is also encouraged to improve the circulation and lymphatic system, which helps to drain fluids. For best results, you should refrain from any alcohol consumption for 48 hours after the treatment. Alcohol consumption during this period may prevent your liver from removing the deactivated fat cells from your body (as the liver will assign priority to remove the alcohol from your blood). Maintaining an un-stressful lifestyle also helps the body flush out the fat more efficiently.
HOW MANY TIMES AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE THE TREATMENTS?
................
Its recommended for Ultrasound Cavitation:Ā 2-4 sessions spaced 3 days apart for the first 4 sessions, then once a week for sessions 5-8 and bi-weekly 9-12. Radio Frequency (RF): 2-4 sessions spaced 3 days apart for the first 4 sessions, then once a week for sessions 5-8 and bi-weekly 9-12.
This is just a recommendation, theĀ exact number of treatments will vary due to factors such as age, weight, and the area being treated
