Question 1

What to know about Ultrasound Cavitation

Accepted Answer

Ultrasonic or Ultrasound Cavitation is the use of ultrasound technology to break down fat cells beneath the skin.

It is a non-surgical method of reducing cellulite and localized fat.

This procedure involves applying pressure on fat cells through ultrasonic vibrations. The pressure is high enough to make the fat cells break down into liquid form. The body can then get rid of it as waste through your urine.

The broken-down fat cells go from the body to the liver where they are excreted as waste. This method of treatment is used along with other weight loss programs to help with getting rid of excessive fat. It is a preferred method to other invasive procedures of eliminating body fat. It is important to note that your weight could return if you consume a high-calorie diet.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasonic cavitation tones the body using radio frequencies and low-frequency ultrasonic waves.

These waves form bubbles around fat deposits under the skin. The bubbles then burst, breaking the fat deposits into the interstitial and the lymphatic system where they are drained. The fat deposits are changed into glycerol and free fatty acids, Glycerol is then reused by the body while free fatty acids travel to the liver and are excreted as waste.
