Cavitation Cavitation is a cosmetic treatment especially indicated to reduce localized fat when it does not go away with diet and exercise, so it helps to get a delineated body, to define the figure, and remove clusters of adipose tissue. It is a relatively new nonsurgical procedure that involves the use of ultrasonic waves to reduce adiposity pulling connections fat cells which are then released through the urinary system.
What is it? Cavitation is a non-invasive liposuction treatment that does not require surgery, hospitalization or anesthesia intervention as it is performed on an outpatient basis. It eliminates localized fat by using low frequency ultrasound, applied over the area where the fat is concentrated to dissolve fat cells. Subsequently the fat is excreted in the urine or through the lymphatic system. This technique is used to eliminate cellulite and restore the normal skin appearance of the treated areas, while improving circulation. Cavitation also eliminates toxins and increases the tone and elasticity of tissues.

What results can I expect from the procedure? By producing heat to the skin, cavitation increases the formation of new collagen elastic fibers, thereby improves flaccidity and tension of the skin in the treated area. It is effective in all parts of the body where there are localized fat deposits. Legs, abdomen and buttocks are the most appropriate sites, but there are no real limitations in relation to other areas of the body. The duration of results is variable, depending on the lifestyle of people, if they perform physical activity, balanced diet, etc.
Technique and Protocol Cavitation uses low-intensity ultrasound to break down fat and remove it permanently. The transdermal dissolution of localized fat that is generated by the waves generated of the machine go into the bloodstream and must be drained to be ejected to the outside Cavitation is applied in sessions, and as general rule, according to the patient, it typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes. Depending on the area to be treated, the recommended number of sessions for a full treatment will be determined.
