Cavitation in the field of aesthetics consists of the application of low-frequency ultrasound through the skin by means of special machines. When penetrating through the skin the ultrasounds generate micro-bubbles inside the adipose cells known as 'adipocytes' or 'fat cells'. When these microbubbles implode, they break the fat cells in such a way that it is possible to break up fatty tissue to make it liquid and that it is eliminated through the urine or the lymphatic system.

 

Cavitation is an innovative and increasingly popular system for getting rid of localized fat that cannot be eliminated with dietary or exercise treatments. Cavitation is also applied to combat the feared cellulite and decrease volume.

Nowadays there are very precise apparatuses that use very low frequency - the first machines had a higher frequency - and therefore they are very selective when it comes to eliminating exclusively the excess fat respecting the surrounding tissues.

 

Who is cavitation suitable for?

It should be borne in mind that cavitation is used to treat only certain localized areas of conflict, as it is not effective in people who want to lose weight in general or who have obesity. In order to be able to follow any treatment with cavitation it is always advisable, in cases of excess weight, to lose weight first. Then, in these cases, cavitation can be applied in areas where there are accumulations of fat difficult to eliminate by conventional methods, such as the so-called cartridges or michelines in the abdomen.

In short, cavitation is not a method to lose weight, but rather to shape the body by reducing the thickness of fat and reducing contours.

 

What does it consist of?

 

Cavitation treatment consists of passing a machine in the area of the body to be treated. It is not necessary to put any mesh, but only to apply a gel called 'conductor' that is responsible for transmitting ultrasound through the skin. The machine consists of a roller that is applied in the chosen area and on the conductive gel.

It is advisable to drink before and after each session between one and a half and two litres of water to help the body eliminate fat through urine. It is also advisable to eat a balanced diet low in fat.

 

 The sessions are not painful and you will only notice in your ears a sharp beep or a buzzing sound, which at first may be a little annoying for some people, but soon after starting the treatment may become imperceptible.

 

 

Recommendations to take into account when cavitating:

The results will depend on the constancy and seriousness of the patient when following him. There will not be a positive result if a session is done every two weeks and there is a certain lack of care with the diet.

​

It is recommended to undergo 10 to 12 sessions to obtain results. Between sessions there should be at least 72 hours difference, which is the time it usually takes the body to eliminate the fat removed.

​

Cavitation sessions should be given by specially trained beauticians to apply the treatment and make appropriate recommendations.
