What is cavitation?
Ultrasonic cavitation relies on ultrasound technology to break apart fat cells.Ultrasound waves are sent deep into the layers of your skin, causing a disruptive vibration. Fat cells then break apart from each other and are dislodged from your dermal layers. After a few days, the fat cells are absorbed by your lymphatic system and drained as waste from your body.
Ultrasonic cavitation is different from other similar treatments, like ultrasound liposuction, because it doesn’t require any incisions. This means no downtime. Ultrasonic cavitation is meant to target small areas of fat and help contour your body. It isn’t a treatment for people who are trying to lose a lot of weight.

What to expect during a cavitation treatment?
The procedure for ultrasonic cavitation is pretty straightforward. On the day of your appointment, our trained technician may ask you to undress in private and put on a paper gown, depending on the area of your body that you’re treating.Your technician will sterilize the area of your treatment using alcohol. Using a handheld ultrasound device, they’ll slowly go over the target area of your body.You may feel a warm sensation during the procedure and hear a buzzing from the ultrasound machine. Treatments typically take between 40 minutes to an hour depending on the area and the size of the area.
What to expect after a cavitation treatment:
Pain and bruising are usually minimal. You’ll be instructed to hydrate as much as possible after the procedure to help your body flush the fatty cells through your lymphatic system. But don’t expect to see results right away. Right after your appointment, your body might feel puffy or swollen. It takes time for your body to break down and dissolve the fat cells that have been dislodged. You may also require repeated treatments to see visible results. Most candidates for this treatment see their final result within 6 to 12 weeks. On average, treatment requires 3 to 6 visits for visible results.
A consultation is required prior to a cavitation treatment to determine if you are a candidate.
A personalized treatment plan which includes prices and aftercare will be discussed at time of consultation.
