What is Ultrasonic Cavitation?

The ultrasonic cavitation procedure is a non-invasive body contouring treatment which uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to flush fat from the body. The procedure is suitable for the reduction of cellulite and stubborn fat. It is not a weight-loss solution.

How Ultrasonic Cavitation Works

A hand-piece is then used to target specific body areas with low-frequency sound waves. The minute vibrations produce tiny bubbles within the fat cells, disturbing the outer membrane, which causes tiny collections of fat to be expelled into the surrounding area. These fatty acids are then processed and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system.

What is Lipo Laser / Radio Frequency Skin Tightening?

Radio frequency skin tightening is an aesthetic technique that uses radio frequency (RF) energy to heat skin with the purpose of stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, thereby tightening the skin.

How Lipo Laser / Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Works

Radio frequency skin tightening works by targeting the tissue beneath the outer layer of the skin, or epidermis, with radio frequency energy. This energy generates heat resulting in new collagen production.

How Many Treatments Do I Need?

6-10 treatments spaced 3 days apart are recommended for optimal results.

Preparing for Treatment

~

It is prudent to follow some simple guidelines before your treatment. These guidelines can reduce possible side effects associated with the procedure and make all the difference between a fair result and a great result.

• Arrive to your appointment well hydrated. Ideally, you should hydrate 2 days before, the day of, and 4 days after your procedure. This will result in a more comfortable and efficacious treatment
• Drink at least 16 oz of water one hour prior to the treatment and void your bladder before your appointment.
• Shave all areas to be treated.
• All treatment sites should be clean with no lotions or other skin products.
• Wear your own undergarments. Thong underwear is preferred if the buttocks are to be treated.
• Do not eat a large meal prior to treatment on the abdominal area
• Remove all body piercings on treatment areas prior to treatment. They may be put back immediately following treatment
• Laser Lipo is a light-based treatment; discontinue any photo-sensitive medication, supplements, and herbs at least 3 days prior to treatment.
• Completing a body cleanse during the beginning and then towards the end of your series of treatments can help flush toxins from your system and enhance result 
  

After

Treatment 

Drink approximately half your weight in ounces of water during the course of the day for 3 days following the procedure. This will help hydrate your body and facilitate the metabolism and elimination of the lipids and glycerides that are broken down by the ultrasound treatment.

Massage the treatment area with your finger tips for approximately 10 minutes shortly following the procedure. This will help stimulate the metabolism of the disintegrated fat cells and further enhance the elimination of fat in the area treated.

Avoid alcoholic beverages 1-3 days before and for 3 days (72- hours) after the day of the treatment. The metabolism of alcohol will inhibit the metabolic breakdown of the disintegrated fat cells and impede the elimination of fat in the area treated. 

After the treatment, spend 15 to 30 minutes in any type of physical activity such as walking, bicycle riding, swimming or some type of muscular exercise for 3 days following procedure. This will help stimulate the metabolism and elimination of the disintegrated fat cells in the treated area.

Body Contouring procedures typically have no downtime and side effects are rare. These procedures will increase the metabolism and circulation of the areas treated. Skin of the treated areas will be pink and slightly warm for several hours following treatment.

Because of lymphatic drainage effect of the procedures, you may experience lightheadedness or nausea following treatment. This can also occur the morning after the first treatment. Drinking plenty of water or eating a small meal will help any nausea to subside.

Bowel movements are normal soon after a treatment as the toxins in your system will be naturally flushed out.

Using a cellulite cream to treat the epidermal layers of the skin is highly recommended. Creams can be applied after showering or after your treatment. Creams should be applied daily.

It is highly recommended to keep treated skin protected with a 30+ SPF sunscreen and avoid excessive heat exposure (sauna, laser or pulse light treatment, etc.).

Slight bruising may occur, especially if you have a predisposition to bruise easily. Bruising may occur during the first few treatments and but usually subsides rapidly.

Following this protocol will ensure that you achieve the optimum results from your Body Contouring treatments.
