I decided to carry out the cavitation procedure after unsuccessful attempts to remove the hated folds in the sides and abdomen that appeared after the second cesarean section. The full course offered by a professional weight loss clinic ranged from four to ten procedures with breaks between procedures of two or three days.
I did four procedures. The cost of one procedure is 2000 thousand rubles. The duration of the procedure is 30 minutes. During the entire course of procedures, you need to drink a lot of water (up to two liters per day). The procedure is absolutely painless. In addition to this procedure, they offer different types of hardware massage, supposedly to improve the result, of course for an additional fee. I didn’t do these additional procedures, but I drank water regularly, as I was supposed to, two liters a day. I didn’t notice any results after the first procedure and was very disappointed. It so happened that I performed the second procedure just before visiting the sauna. The result of the second procedure, after which there was a sauna, was simply amazing. The belly fat was noticeably gone and it was visible visually! Not only I, but also my husband was surprised by the result. I also combined the next two procedures with a trip to the sauna and my delight knew no bounds. The result was noticeable not only to me but also to those around me. In four procedures, 5 centimeters of fat in the abdominal area were lost, and this was without dieting or going to the gym. For the first time since my second cesarean, I wore a tight T-shirt. I definitely recommend this procedure together with a visit to the sauna.
Cavitation liposuction
Today we are pleased to offer you an effective, non-invasive and safe method of treating cellulite and reducing the volume of excess fat deposits - CAVITATION or, as it is also called, cavitation liposuction.
This is one of the most effective therapeutic techniques in aesthetic medicine, aimed at getting rid of local fat deposits. Cavitation liposuction has such a pronounced effect on adipose tissue that the results from cavitation are comparable to surgical liposuction.
Surgical excision of the scar after a caesarean section
Plastic surgery allows you to completely or partially remove the formed formation. Using this method, you can reduce the width of the scar, correct tissue irregularities and remove possible foreign particles from the scar tissue. The wound is sutured with a special thread made of absorbable or non-absorbable material with a neat and invisible suture. The duration of the operation depends on the complexity and size of the scar. It is important to understand that a postoperative scar cannot always be completely excised; in some cases, more than one operation may be required for a perfect result.
Indications for the procedure:
- ● Treatment of fat deposits in problem areas: • abdomen, • lateral surfaces, • hips, buttocks, • back, • arms, • lower legs, • riding breeches area
- ● Reducing the volume of subcutaneous fat
- ● Reduces the appearance of fibrosis
- ● Correction of sagging and decreased elasticity of the skin
- ● Correction of defects after surgical liposuction
During the cavitation liposuction procedure, low-frequency ultrasonic waves generated by special equipment act on the adipose tissue, causing the effect of cavitation in it: the formation of microbubbles (from the Latin Cavitas - emptiness). They increase in size, soften fat and destroy the membrane of the adipocyte, the fat storage cell. Thus, the reservoir itself for storing fat is destroyed, and its deposition in this place will no longer be possible. A special selection of ultrasound radiation parameters makes it possible to have a targeted effect only on fat cells, destroying only them. The released triglycerides, which make up fat cells, are removed from the intercellular space through natural metabolic processes.
The cavitation procedure itself is simple and absolutely painless. Using the working handpiece of the device, the specialist treats the required area. The duration of the ultrasonic cavitation procedure, taking into account preparation for the procedure, is no more than 60 minutes. It is recommended to conduct sessions no more than once every 10 days. Course 3-4 sessions. If necessary, maintenance treatment is carried out: 1-3 procedures every 6 months.
The effect is visible after the first sessions: the volume of fat deposits in the problem area after the first cavitation procedure decreases by 2-5 cm. Over the next week, the effect intensifies. The most important effect is also the restoration of blood circulation and stimulation of fibroblasts, which helps to increase the elasticity and turgor of the skin, eliminating sagging and sagging.
For better effect and acceleration of the process of removing fat cell breakdown products through the circulatory and lymphatic systems, pressotherapy procedures and hardware vacuum or manual lymphatic drainage massage are recommended.
During the course of procedures, the effect of liposuction surgery is created, and since after a certain period of life, fat cells no longer multiply, the removal of the hated fat area occurs once and for all in the safest and gentlest method.
If you have at least once used the services of plastic surgeons to solve obesity problems or simply read, for example, about surgical liposuction, then when you come to our center, you will understand that cavitation is a procedure without the negative consequences that surgical operations can usually cause. But, of course, the choice of “cavitation liposuction” is always yours.
- ● Non-invasive
- ● Painless, does not require anesthesia
- ● Fast visible aesthetic result
- ● Short procedure time
- ● Atraumatic
- ● No rehabilitation period
In the hardware cosmetology department of our SPA club, the price for the cavitation procedure is based on the optimal duration of the session (40 minutes + 15 minutes of preparation), regardless of the treatment area.
To treat infertility, chronic inflammation and prepare the endometrium for conception, a modern method is used - ultrasonic cavitation of the uterus. The therapeutic effect is exerted by the drug and ultrasonic waves.
Rehabilitation
After the operation, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions of the attending physician. Violation of the rules of the recovery period can provoke the formation of new scars. The patient should protect the suture line with prophylactic agents that prevent the development of scars (in particular, Mepiform or Dermatix) and use the bandage for the time prescribed by the surgeon.
It is necessary to protect the scar from sunlight for as long as possible, since UV rays can cause persistent hyperpigmentation. After 1.5-2 months, for a better result, the patient may be recommended conservative treatment or other methods used to correct scars.
What is ultrasonic cavitation of the uterus?
The liquid cavitation technique is based on the formation of cavitating bubbles or cold boiling. Gas cavities containing hydrogen, oxygen and peroxide ions are formed in the solution. They mechanically affect pathological lesions, help destroy bacteria, remove purulent or fibrin plaque.
Ultrasonic waves have an additional effect. They are characterized by the following effects:
- bactericidal – mechanical damage to bacterial cell membranes;
- phonophoretic - particles of drugs penetrate deep into tissues using ultrasound;
- anti-inflammatory – cleansing the wound surface of microorganisms, improving microcirculation;
- stimulating - under the influence of ultrasound waves, the production of growth factors by macrophages and fibroblasts is enhanced, tissues regenerate faster;
- immunomodulatory – immune defense cells are stimulated, anti-inflammatory reactions are enhanced;
- thermal - acceleration of blood flow leads to a local increase in temperature, a micromassage effect occurs.
Indications and contraindications for ultrasonic cavitation in gynecology
The procedure is performed for the following conditions and diseases:
- restoration and prevention of endometritis after abortion, curettage, pregnancy loss;
- express sanitation of the genital tract before intrauterine manipulation;
- treatment of acute and chronic endometritis;
- preparing the endometrium for IVF;
- recovery after caesarean section;
- with atrophic colpitis in postmenopause.
Ultrasound can be used to treat wounds after episiotomy and cesarean section. But there are contraindications to the procedure:
- oncological diseases in the field of treatment;
- menstruation or bleeding of unknown origin;
- blood diseases;
- pathology of the cardiovascular or nervous system in a severe stage;
- allergic reactions to the drugs used.
Ultrasonic cavitation during pregnancy is contraindicated in the first trimester. In the 2nd and 3rd trimester, you can treat colpitis, vaginitis, vaginal candidiasis or other infectious processes without fear of harm. But the technique is not used for excitability or increased tone of the uterus. When breastfeeding, ultrasonic cavitation is not contraindicated; medications act locally and do not penetrate the mother’s bloodstream.
Women after surgical birth have an increased risk of infectious complications. Ultrasound cavitation after cesarean section helps prevent the development of endometritis and accelerate the restoration of the uterus and wound healing.
The procedure is prescribed no earlier than 3-4 days after the operation, based on the general condition of the woman. Indications for cavitation after cesarean section are:
- lochiometer;
- subinvolution of the uterus;
- isthmic-cervical insufficiency during pregnancy and wearing an obstetric pessary.
For treatment, a safe solution of Chlorhexidine, sodium chloride is used. For one procedure you will need 300-800 ml. The amount of fluid depends on the condition of the uterine cavity. The duration of the procedure is up to 5 minutes, and 1-3 cavitations can be prescribed per course of treatment. The doctor focuses on the tolerance and condition of the woman in labor.
According to research, after the use of cavitation in women with subinvolution of the uterus, after the first procedure it was noticeably reduced, and after 3 days it corresponded to the day of the postpartum period.
On what day ultrasonic cavitation of the uterus is performed depends on the diagnosis and goals and treatment. For women after an abortion or early miscarriage, it is prescribed a few days after the loss of pregnancy. To prepare the endometrium for conception, the first half of the menstrual cycle is chosen. During menopause, it is no longer necessary to rely on menstruation to treat atrophic processes.
To carry out ultrasound cavitation for endometritis, the woman is positioned in a gynecological chair. Speculums are inserted into the genital tract. Anesthesia and dilation of the cervical canal are not required. The exception is a narrow cervix. If you do not use the dilator, the outflow of fluid will be disrupted and abdominal pain will appear.
After a test spray of the drug solution in the air, the acoustic unit is carefully inserted into the neck. The doctor should not come into contact with the walls of the vagina to reduce the risk of infection through the ascending route.
The device selects the appropriate operating mode. For the comfort of the doctor and the patient, an aspirator can be used simultaneously. It allows you to remove fluid from the vagina into a separate container.
Ultrasonic cavitation for endometriosis does not differ in method from the standard procedure. Sodium chloride solutions and other antiseptics are used for it. It is not possible to get rid of foci of endometriosis in the uterine cavity, but you can dissolve adhesions, improve the condition of the endometrium and increase the likelihood of pregnancy.
Ultrasound treatment of endometritis and other pathologies is carried out after the 5th day of the cycle, when menstruation has already ended. Vaginal discharge after ultrasonic cavitation may be absent; less often, mucous pinkish spots appear on the underwear in the first days.
There is a higher risk of bleeding after cavitation using a liquid medium. Blood is noticed in the middle of the menstrual cycle or before the normal period. But they are not full menstruation. Due to the influence of solutions during the procedure, a full-fledged endometrium cannot form.
There is no discharge after remote cavitation of the uterus. Low-frequency ultrasound damages bacterial cells, reduces inflammation, but does not mechanically wash away the mucous membrane.
If you are concerned about breakthrough bleeding after manipulation, this is an alarming symptom that requires medical attention. But such complications occur very rarely and are exceptions.
The ultrasound technique is not used for bleeding of unknown origin due to the risk of increasing it. Ultrasonic cavitation during menstruation can lead to increased bleeding due to the thermal effect and micromassage of the uterine cavity. Under the influence of ultrasound, blood flow increases and arterioles dilate. Therefore, menstruation may turn into bleeding.
If you follow the recommendations for the procedure, the risk of complications is minimal. Medicines are selected individually. If a woman is intolerant to any of them, then it is replaced with an analogue. There were no cases of anaphylactic or allergic reactions to the procedure.
Ultrasonic cavitation can be used for uterine fibroids as an auxiliary treatment method. But you need to take into account the type of growth and location of the nodes so that they do not become an obstacle to insertion of the tip.
Gynecologists recommend undergoing treatment with ultrasound cavitation for women who cannot get pregnant for a long time due to previous infections, several miscarriages or abortions. According to doctors, the effect of ultrasound helps get rid of foci of chronic infection and stimulates the restoration of endometrial trophism.
Many women note that the procedure is accompanied by unpleasant sensations in the abdomen, but after it the restoration of the uterus is accelerated and the chance of pregnancy increases.
Ultrasound treatment has a minimal number of contraindications, but the choice of treatment method remains with the doctor. Cavitation allows you to reduce the amount of medications for oral administration and reduce the load on the body. But it is not an independent method of therapy, but is used in combination.

- malignant tumors;
- acute inflammatory processes (local and general);
- during pregnancy and lactation.
- acute respiratory infections;
- special caution is required when prescribing ultrasound cavitation for chronic renal and liver diseases;
- if the patient has a pacemaker;
Recovery after childbirth: when and how?
The expectant mother, watching with excitement the first changes in her figure, thinks about how she will look after giving birth. Her feelings are understandable - in the most beautiful period of life, every woman wants to be beautiful.
The most frustrating thing is weight gain that persists for a long time after childbirth. The weight that a woman has gained over 9 long months cannot disappear overnight - after all, it is not only the weight of the baby and placenta, but also water retention in the body, and a certain “fat reserve” that ensures the safety of the child in the womb. Therefore, nature itself provides that the path to the original state of the figure will be long and thorny.
To achieve the desired result in the future, it is better to take care of your appearance and figure during pregnancy. To assess the possible risks of certain changes, you need to ask your mother how her pregnancy proceeded, did she have acne during this period, did stretch marks remain on the skin, did varicose veins appear? And if the answer is “yes,” then you are at risk and should pay more attention to yourself. You need to start with consultations with a cosmetologist, gynecologist-endocrinologist, phlebologist, and, if necessary, other specialists who will competently suggest methods of care and necessary procedures.
During pregnancy, not only external changes in the figure occur. The skin also changes. The fight against stretch marks on the body seems difficult and ineffective. To achieve results, you must immediately tune in to comply with the necessary rules. This includes contrast rubbing, constant wearing of specialized underwear (corsets, bandages), compression stockings, and constant cosmetic skin care to maintain its elasticity.
At different stages of pregnancy, different body processes are activated. Activation of sensitivity to viruses may occur, and then papillomas and condylomas are likely to appear on the skin. The sensitivity of melanocytes to ultraviolet radiation also increases, which leads to the appearance of age spots and moles. During pregnancy, you can only deal with their prevention, and you need to remove them only after childbirth.
You can begin rehabilitation measures after childbirth within two months (with good uterine contractility and no contraindications from the gynecologist). If the mother is breastfeeding, the arsenal of means to restore the figure will be smaller until the feeding ends.
There are no restrictions on a number of hardware techniques for body care. These are lymphatic drainage, pressotherapy, non-injection cryomesotherapy. After finishing feeding, you can add a more intense effect in the form of mesotherapy, ozone therapy, myostimulation, radio frequency lifting.
What procedures do we recommend at our medical center to restore your figure after childbirth?
Lymphatic drainage is a type of massage. It is carried out with the aim of eliminating fluid stagnation in tissues, improving lymphatic drainage, accelerating tissue metabolism and nutrition, as well as actively removing toxins. Its main meaning is to normalize the dynamics of lymph flow, due to which the swelling of tissues decreases and waste products come out. Before undergoing the procedure, consultation with specialists is required. Lymphatic drainage is contraindicated for tumors, acute inflammation, heart disease, and pustular skin lesions. In the presence of varicose veins with suspected thrombophlebitis, the procedure is possible only after Doppler ultrasound (USDG) of the vessels of the lower extremities. A type of lymphatic drainage is pressotherapy .
Vacuum massage is a method in which there is a change in phases of retraction of the skin area and its subsequent relaxation, as a result of which blood flow to the tissues and outflow of interstitial fluid improves. Thanks to this, the supply of oxygen to tissues increases, the intensity of metabolism increases, blood supply improves, tissue elasticity is restored, lymphatic drainage is stimulated, and the skin is strengthened and renewed. This type of massage has not only cosmetic, but also therapeutic effects. Modern devices allow you to individually regulate the power of retraction of a skin area and the depth of impact on tissue, which allows you to quickly restore physiological processes (improve fluid outflow, reduce excessive fat deposits). This method is rightfully recognized as a universal medical and cosmetic procedure. It has practically no contraindications; it cannot be used only for acute diseases of internal organs and serious skin defects in the area of influence.
Vacuum massage and lymphatic drainage are methods with which you can begin recovery after childbirth.
Cryomesatherapy is a new method that only we use so far. This is the administration of drugs under the influence of current and low temperatures. Charged special drugs are actively transported into tissues through iontophoresis. The effect of exposure is enhanced by the combination of the influence of a negative charge and low temperature.
Wrapping is a thalassotherapy procedure. The compositions that are used for wraps are most often prepared on the basis of seafood and sea mud. Honey, chocolate, lipolytic gels, etc. are used. As a result, the appearance of cellulite decreases and skin tone increases. The method significantly improves the qualitative state of the resulting stretch marks (but does not eliminate them).
Myostimulation is a fairly popular method that is used to correct the figure and improve facial contours through muscle training. But you need to remember that you should use it only after consulting a gynecologist. The method works well in case of weak muscles of the anterior abdominal wall. A remarkable effect is obtained by combining myostimulation with other methods.
Ozone therapy and mesotherapy are used only after breastfeeding has ended.
Ozone therapy is a therapeutic method that has been increasingly used in clinical practice in recent years, as it has a variety of therapeutic effects. It has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, enhances microhemodynamics, helps correct lipid peroxidation disorders and increases the activity of the antioxidant defense system. The method is used in the treatment of a number of diseases and in cosmetology. Treats acne, cellulite, striae, telangiectasia (spider veins), and helps reduce local deposits of subcutaneous fat.
Mesotherapy is a method of intradermal and subcutaneous administration of drugs with targeted action - lipolytic, reducing the volume of fat deposits, vascular. This method uses vitamin therapy.
So, I introduced you to the basic procedures that can be recommended to a young mother and carried out in our center. Be healthy and beautiful!

Is it possible to do cavitation during menstruation or not?
Cavitation during menstruation is also not recommended, as there is a possibility of harm to your health. Due to cavitation during menstruation, periodic pain may worsen, menstruation may last for more than 10 days, and so on. However, all these signs are purely individual. Therefore, it is better to consult with a specialist regarding cavitation during menstruation, who, having studied your clinical picture and the nature of the course of menstruation, will give a competent answer as to whether it is possible for you to do cavitation during menstruation or not.

“On the question of whether it is worth doing cavitation during menstruation, it should be noted that all signs are purely individual.
Therefore, it is better to consult with a specialist directly in the clinic regarding cavitation during menstruation, who, having studied your clinical picture and the nature of the course of menstruation, will give a competent answer as to whether cavitation can be done for you during menstruation or not.”
Surgical methods
As sad as it may be, it is not always possible to cope on your own. It happens that fat categorically does not respond to muscle activity and diet - it seems to live separately from the body. In this case, you can resort to minimally invasive or non-surgical medical procedures, but this is a long process that also requires significant expenses.
If you have a very strong desire to remove your belly, plastic surgery is the fastest and most effective way. Conservative surgery involves performing abdominoplasty, an operation to remove fat deposits through incisions.
This operation is performed under general anesthesia, and during the procedure, which lasts about 2–5 hours, the patient does not feel anything. The doctor makes incisions around the navel and down to the pubic area. After this, the skin is folded back and excess fat is pumped out through the cannulas. The most difficult thing is to then create a beautiful tummy by removing excess skin so that it does not hang down (it will not shrink on its own) and forming a muscular frame that supports the internal organs and soft tissues. Then the navel is formed. The final part of the abdominoplasty operation is the installation of drainage and stitching of tissues using a cosmetic suture.
If you are lucky with an anesthesiologist and a plastic surgeon, then after the operation you will feel quite tolerable within a day, you will easily recover from anesthesia, and the stitch will be small and in six months will turn into an invisible light strip, which can later be removed by cosmetologists without surgery.
