Cavitation is a relatively new method in cosmetology. But, despite his young history, he managed to win the trust of many patients who were tired of fighting excess fat deposits using classical methods. The effectiveness of the method is confirmed by reviews from those who managed to try the technology on themselves and were satisfied with the result.
Experts note that with cavitation it is possible to neutralize the appearance of cellulite even faster than using many alternative techniques.
In addition to the fight against extra pounds in certain areas of the body, the technique successfully copes with leveling the seemingly unattractive “orange peel”. All together, this guarantees an excellent external effect, as well as elasticity of the skin, ready to absorb nutrients with a vengeance. It’s not for nothing that before and after photographs amaze with the dramatic changes.

Initially, the principle of cavitation was used only in an industrial environment, when it was necessary to clean the surface of some parts from extensive or old contaminants. Over time, scientists realized that ultrasonic power could easily cope even with the destruction and dispersion of solids. Because of this, fuel mixtures and emulsions began to be created using a well-known physical algorithm.
After the mechanism of action was successfully introduced into devices for water purification, technicians began to think that the basics of cavitation would be useful in medicine. This is how the idea was born to extract stones localized in the gallbladder, kidneys, and bladder using the presented physical law. The same thing works for cleaning purulent cavities and for disinfecting solutions. The next step was bloodless operations, which prompted scientists to think about the possibility of using the principle in aesthetic medicine to combat fat.
Now a device for bloodless liposuction can be found in many medical centers and aesthetic cosmetology offices. The essence of the method is based on the effect of low-frequency ultrasonic waves on a specific area of fat deposits. Since the action is based on acoustic waves, in a matter of minutes the device provokes the formation of air bubbles in fat cells. First, the problem cells increase in size, and then gradually displace fat molecules.
Another useful property is damage to the cell membranes of adipocytes. First of all, cells that are filled with fatty deposits come under aggressive attack. As soon as the pressure on them increases due to high voltage, the fat molecules that have fallen outside the cell boundaries flow into the intercellular space.
Then they have only one way - through the lymphatic system and blood vessels, which is the key to naturally getting rid of the hated cellulite. But the most important advantage of such a treatment program compared to other modern analogues is safety in relation to healthy parts of the body. The muscles, blood vessels, skin and ligaments surrounding the fat deposits are not affected at all by the stretching of unnecessary elements. The explanation lies in the physiological characteristics of the human body, because healthy tissues are much stronger and more elastic than those damaged by fat.
Safety has been confirmed in numerous scientific studies, which proves the productivity of the process. For such high results, you will have to pay a little more than what is offered by centers specializing in traditional options for “orange peel” removal. The price will also depend on the accompanying set of procedures.
Some cosmetologists offer various preparatory complexes, as well as rehabilitation products, to improve performance. They are aimed at restoring the skin's former elasticity, which will acquire its original elasticity instead of sagging and gray tint.
Description of the method
The ultrasonic cavitation technique is a deep effect on tissue.
A powerful ultrasonic wave passes through the device’s sensors, which destroys fat cells. As a result, ultrasound destroys the cell membrane, fat under pressure turns into liquid and is eliminated from the body through a normal metabolic process.
Cavitation effect for the body: destruction of even those layers of cellulite that cannot be gotten rid of through sports and proper nutrition.
Even if there are no extra pounds, this problem can appear in almost every woman over 20 years old. And getting rid of the hated bumps (even with the help of a special massage) is not an easy task. Don't think that cavitation will help cure obesity.
This method is suitable for those who cannot get rid of cellulite through sports and diet.
How does weight loss happen?
Despite many offers to conduct a cavitation session at home yourself, you should not agree to such dubious experiments with your own health. The procedure should only be carried out by an experienced doctor, who will take into account the body characteristics of each patient, recommend the best means for the rehabilitation period, calculating the number of sessions required to achieve the desired result.
To make the effect brighter, a special lipolytic gel is applied to the skin before the manipulation.
It helps reduce the percentage of friction that occurs between the working nozzle and the treated area. The gel also acts as a catalyst for the breakdown of harmful fat cells. Next, the specialist takes the device, choosing the optimal mode based on the area of the skin and the degree of obesity, in order to move the working handpiece over the surface. Before making an appointment, patients should learn basic information about this innovative intervention:
- the average period of one session is about 25 minutes;
- the maximum duration is 60 minutes without the risk of possible overheating;
- the interval between visits is at least 10 days;
- the course of treatment will require 3 to 4 visits;
- repeating the course is possible only after six months;
- repeated therapy including a program with 1-3 sessions.
The phenomenon, adapted to the needs of those suffering from fat deposits, will be able to demonstrate the first positive changes in the very first day. And in the next couple of days, especially if you comply with all the conditions, you will be able to achieve maximum productivity. No even strong home therapy can guarantee such a good outcome of the enterprise.
Despite the fact that the measure is positioned as a fighter against fat layers, it does not have much effect on weight loss. Instead, it is working to reduce volumes. This oddity is easily explained from a biological point of view, since adipose tissue has a reduced density. This means that while packing a lot of volume, it is still quite lightweight.
If we translate the average values for fat loss in its pure form, it will be about 15 cubic meters. cm of deposits, which equates to 3-5 cm of waist circumference. And to speed up the process of achieving the desired shape, you will need to adhere to the rules of an active lifestyle.
An important factor for stabilizing health and maintaining a slim silhouette is a proper diet and adherence to the drinking regime. The emphasis should be on the days before the actual visit to the medical center and immediately after. But if lifting teaches the patient to always adhere to the canons established by doctors, then the effect will be long-term, having a positive impact on well-being.
The result - what it depends on
In order to achieve good results in losing weight and maintain it for as long as possible, you should radically change your lifestyle before starting the first procedure. To do this, it is recommended to adhere to the following rules:
- Give up bad habits: smoking and drinking alcohol, since they, like no other, affect the rapid deposition of fat.
- It is necessary to drink one and a half liters of water every day and also before the cavitation procedure to saturate the body with sufficient fluid. This will significantly enhance the effect of the technique.
- It is also very important to watch your diet. Of course, this does not mean that you need to starve, since this is not very correct. You just need to eat a balanced diet, and eat healthy food every day, rich in vitamins, calcium, minerals and proteins. The foods that most contain these microelements include: eggs, fish, meat (chicken), cottage cheese, vegetables and fruits.
- In order not to slow down the process of losing weight, you must completely eliminate fried, fatty and smoked foods from your diet. Also, the menu should not contain semi-finished products, sweets and sausages.
- After each cavitation session, it is necessary to do physical exercises. This could be fitness, yoga, dancing or just long distance running. The main thing is that the body experiences stress. This will significantly help achieve maximum effect.
Prohibitions on cavitation
The presented way to achieve the desired slimness is practically the only effective non-surgical method of aesthetic cosmetology that directly affects adipose tissue. What adds to its popularity is safety and relative painlessness with a shortened rehabilitation period.
Popularly, cavitation has received a second name - non-surgical liposuction, which once again proves the productivity of the method.
But before making an appointment at a cosmetology office, you should definitely make sure that the person wishing to do so does not have any possible contraindications. Relative and absolute prohibitions cover:
- pregnancy;
- diabetes;
- osteoporosis;
- oncological tumors of a benign or malignant nature of any location;
- destabilization of the functionality of the cardiovascular system such as phlebitis, vascular fragility and hypertension;
- skin diseases;
- liver and kidney failure;
- the presence of implants with metal elements.
If the patient is diagnosed with any of the above-mentioned deviations, then it is easier for him to go for a specialized massage with a smaller list of contraindications. And in some conditions you will simply need to wait for more favorable circumstances.
Separately, doctors remind you that you should not use ultrasound radiation in the area of joints, eyes, ears, genitals and glands. But even if latent contraindications do not emerge during the examination, you should still first consult with your doctor about obtaining permission to undergo cavitation.
Indications and contraindications
Indications for cavitation are:
- overweight;
- cellulite;
- unsuccessful results of liposuction;
- treatment of inflammatory processes in the female organs.
If there is excess weight and low efficiency in the fight against it, they resort to the cavitation procedure. In gynecology, the procedure is used in cases where the mucous membranes are not amenable to drug treatment.
Like other procedures, cavitation has a number of contraindications:
- osteoporosis;
- hepatitis;
- malignant formations;
- skin damage;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- diabetes;
- menstruation;
- angina pectoris;
- tuberculosis;
- infectious diseases;
- uterine fibroids;
- taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Benefits of manipulation
Complete non-invasiveness is the first positive quality of the intervention, which will appeal to those who are not ready to endure severe pain and possible scars after surgery.
The effectiveness of the technique has been proven during scientific experiments and by numerous satisfied clients. The good news is that the reduction in volumes is happening gradually. This allows the skin to adapt to changed shapes without stretching, sagging or losing its original elasticity.
When trying to remove deposits of fat on the sides of the abdomen, a person can count on the fact that the ultrasound approach will simultaneously trigger a restoration mechanism in the body.
Blood microcirculation will also improve, which will be the key to prompt delivery of nutrients to different layers of tissue.
Those who seek such help confirm that after visiting a cosmetologist they receive an even skin texture without bruising or swelling. The latter are the prerogative of massages, which are sometimes carried out with a disproportionately applied force by the master, which is not provided for in case of cavitation.
Possible complications and side effects
After the procedure, slight dizziness, nausea, and ringing in the ears may occur. Loose stools are also noted due to the body's removal of fat breakdown products.
Failure to follow the recommendations can lead to oily rashes on the skin, increased oiliness of the face and scalp.
If the ultrasound exposure mode is incorrectly chosen or the technique is violated, burns and muscle damage can occur.
There have been cases of the formation of “pits” at the site of cavitation; to avoid this, contact a trusted clinic with qualified specialists.
You should refuse to undergo the procedure unless the specialist has conducted a survey about your health status.
Efficiency
Cosmetologists and patients note in their reviews that the effect of ultrasonic cavitation appears after 1 session. The results of the procedure include:
- removal of fats from the body;
- reduction in waist size;
- slowing down the process of fat accumulation in the treatment area;
- elimination of cellulite;
- aesthetic appearance, beautiful and toned skin;
- figure correction;
- elasticity and firmness of the skin.
It should be remembered that only a qualified specialist can prescribe and, especially, carry out ultrasonic cavitation.
