Ultrasonic cavitation – express correction of problem areas

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.

What is ultrasonic cavitation?

Adipocytes (the main cells of adipose tissue) are highly susceptible to the destructive effects of low-frequency ultrasound. Vascular endothelium, muscle tissue and skin practically do not “react” to the action of these waves.

For cosmetic procedures, the optimal frequency is considered to be from 37 to 42 kHz, with a pressure of 0.6 kPa.

The essence of the method is that a low-frequency ultrasonic wave acts on the fat cell and cavitation (cavities, bubbles) occurs inside it. The bubbles increase in volume, leading to rupture of the cell membrane. Large adipocytes burst most easily. Their contents mainly enter the lymphatic system (about 90%). The remaining breakdown products are carried throughout the body through the bloodstream, mainly being transformed in the liver.

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.

Contraindications

Ultrasonic cavitation should not be performed on people who have:

• individual intolerance to ultrasound;
• injury, damage, tattoo, infectious or dermatological disease at the site of intended exposure;
• metal structures in the area that will be affected by ultrasound waves (piercing, pacemaker, artificial joint, IUD, etc.);
• acute illness or exacerbation of any chronic pathology;
• benign and malignant neoplasms in any tissue and organ;
• diseases of the reproductive system;
• immunodeficiency;
• diabetes;
• serious pathology of internal organs and systems, especially in the stage of decompensation (renal, liver, heart, pulmonary failure);
• hepatitis of any origin;
• blood and vascular diseases, thrombophlebitis;
• osteoporosis;
• autoimmune processes;
• abdominal hernia;
• stones in the hepatobiliary or urinary system.

Ultrasonic cavitation is strictly not performed during menstruation, pregnancy and lactation. If it is not possible to completely exclude pregnancy, then the woman should refrain from undergoing the procedure, since ultrasound can provoke a miscarriage.

During the procedure, avoid exposure to the face, thyroid gland, ovaries (testicles in men), bones, cartilage and joints. The technique has a pronounced effect on the entire body, so it can lead to unwanted side effects. Before starting a course of ultrasonic cavitation, even a completely healthy person should consult a doctor.

Equipment used for procedures

Manufacturers offer both specialized devices for ultrasound cavitation and multifunctional devices with additional functions of RF lifting, removal of stretch marks and scars, etc.

See the table for comparative characteristics of popular models.

When choosing a device for a beauty salon, experts advise following the following rules:

1. Multifunctional devices are demanding in terms of operating conditions. Devices with complex cooling systems, for example, for hair removal and tattoo removal, are less reliable than simple combines for cavitation, pressotherapy, etc.
2. To avoid counterfeits, check the documentation from the supplier and manufacturer: vehicle declaration, registration certificate of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.

Note!

Decide what tasks the device will solve and where it will be located. Along with cavitation, lymphatic drainage massage is performed to remove decay products and other procedures. It is preferable to use devices with related functions so that all therapy takes place in one room.

Advantages of the method

The ultrasound technique, which is based on cavitation, completely destroys fat cells, which significantly distinguishes it from other non-invasive cosmetic procedures. Ultrasonic cavitation not only removes fat from cells, but completely destroys adipocytes. Therefore, with continued correct lifestyle, the risk that fat deposits will return becomes minimal.

The following advantages of this technique are noted:

• painlessness (rarely minor discomfort, burning, tingling may be observed during and after manipulation);
• safety (if the procedure has been approved by a doctor);
• high efficiency (the result is comparable to surgical liposuction, since fat cells are completely destroyed);
• absolute non-invasiveness, since the integrity of the skin is not compromised;
• absence of complications that occur during surgery (bleeding, infection, scars, etc.);
• absence of anesthesia and its consequences, short recovery period, without the need to wear special underwear.

Why do patients prefer to undergo ultrasound cavitation at MedicCity?

There are a number of explanations for this:

The procedure is safe and non-invasive - at the MedicCity clinic, ultrasonic cavitation sessions are carried out using a radiofrequency multipolar lifting device Aespio Kavita (Spain). The patient's skin is not damaged, the outflow of the fatty substance occurs naturally.

Practical experience and scientific training of our dermatocosmetologists (you can get acquainted with the professional achievements of specialists here, and read reviews about cavitation and other cosmetic procedures at MedicCity here).

Effective elimination of defects in problem areas: abdomen, buttocks, lateral thighs, otherwise possible only surgically.

The method is painless and comfortable.

The ability to get rid of cellulite forever.

A quick visible effect that can be measured (since fat is light, measuring new volumes will be more revealing than weighing).

Elimination of re-accumulation of fatty deposits in the cells in the treated area.

Optimal balance between the cost of cavitation and its results (the effect lasts up to several years).

Short, uncomplicated rehabilitation period.

Preparation stage

Ultrasonic techniques, which are based on cavitation, require certain preparation. It includes:

• examination by a doctor;
• undergoing a comprehensive examination to identify possible contraindications;
• refusal to take alcoholic beverages, fatty, fried, smoked, high-calorie and spicy foods - three days before the procedure;
• increasing the volume of fluid consumed to 2-3 liters per day throughout the course.

It is not advisable to carry out other cosmetic procedures in parallel, except for those recommended by a specialist.

Advantages and disadvantages

Ultrasound liposuction can be successfully combined with lymphatic drainage massage. If you need to choose, you should carefully study the pros and cons.

Which is better: cavitation or LP massage, which method to choose - the answer to these questions depends on the tasks. At an appointment with a specialist, you should assess the risks in order to correctly approach the elimination of the problem of excess weight.

How does the procedure work?

Ultrasonic cavitation takes place in several stages:

• the specialist conducts a conversation and examination, assessing the characteristics of the skin and the general condition of the body;
• the cosmetologist selects a suitable attachment and sets the frequency parameters for ultrasound waves;
• the client sits on the couch;
• A special gel is applied to the skin of the selected area to facilitate the penetration of ultrasound into the tissue and better glide of the nozzle over the body;
• the cosmetologist forms a skin fold and moves the device along it, making rotational movements, carefully influencing the selected area;
• The average manipulation time is 20 minutes;
• then the remaining gel is removed and the skin is wiped dry.

After the ultrasonic cavitation procedure, it is recommended to do lymphatic drainage massage or pressotherapy. This will enhance the main effect and reduce the negative impact of “released” fat particles on the body.

Usually the course is 7-10 sessions (maximum 12). Visits to a cosmetologist are carried out every 4-7 days. A repeat course can be taken no earlier than six months later.

Benefits and harms of the procedure

Ultrasonic waves penetrate to a depth of 3 cm and destroy fat cells more effectively than manual massage or wraps. The intervention is non-invasive and does not leave any scars like liposuction. Other benefits of cavitation:

• the procedure does not cause discomfort and does not require anesthesia;
• there is no postoperative recovery period;
• fat does not return to the areas of the body where treatment was performed.

Cavitation has more disadvantages than advantages:

• it does not solve the problem of general obesity, since the effect is local;
• the breakdown products of fat cells are eliminated from the body within a week, and the full course of treatment takes a long time;
• The procedure has a large list of contraindications and possible side effects - read about them below;
• if recommendations for reducing calories in the diet are not followed, there is no effect of treatment;
• high cost of one procedure.

During the session, it is possible to increase body temperature due to increased lymph flow, but this is a short-term phenomenon.

Important to remember!

Some of the breakdown products of fat cells enter the blood and cause an increase in sugar levels. Therefore, only a doctor can recommend this procedure after collecting the patient’s medical history.

For lasting results, other cosmetic procedures are prescribed along with cavitation: pressotherapy, lymphatic drainage, mesotherapy, electrolipolysis.

How is rehabilitation going?

In order for ultrasonic low-frequency cavitation to produce maximum effect, experts give the following recommendations to prevent side effects and improve results:

• do not eat for 2 hours after the procedure;
• exclude alcoholic and caffeine-containing drinks;
• drink 2-3 liters of clean water on the day of the procedure and the next day after it (drink at least 1.5 liters of water the rest of the time);
• follow a diet low in fat and carbohydrates;
• refrain from hot water procedures, baths, saunas, the beach, solarium and salon cosmetic procedures (warm baths and showers are recommended).

These points should be adhered to during the entire course and during the rehabilitation period.

Submit your application

An ideal figure is the dream of many. Today there is no longer any need to fight local fat deposits with surgery and endanger your health. Unique hardware technology of ultrasonic cavitation allows you to quickly get rid of annoying fat deposits in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and other problem areas.

What is ultrasonic cavitation

The method was invented in 2006 by Italian biophysicists. At the same time, an ultrasonic device for non-surgical liposuction was created. Ultrasound has taken on a new life, because it has been assigned completely new functions.

Penetrating to a depth of 8-10 mm into the tissue, low-frequency ultrasound activates the formation of vacuum microbubbles in fat cells, which increase in size and explode. Energy is released that damages the membranes - cells filled with fat burst. Released triglycerides are eliminated through the lymphatic system and blood. Vascular and muscle cells are not susceptible to ultrasound, so they remain intact.

The procedure resembles conventional ultrasound diagnostics. Low-frequency ultrasound is applied to a working handpiece, which is applied to the problem area for a period of 15 to 60 minutes. During the session, the person experiences warmth or a slight tingling sensation. In one session, a small amount of fatty tissue is destroyed, so patients do not face sagging skin, as happens after surgical liposuction.

Ultrasonic cavitation is an ideal method for combating small local fat deposits

Duration and effectiveness

• Session duration is up to 1 hour.
• Frequency – 1 time in 7-8 days.
• Course – 4-5 sessions.
• The period for maintaining results after the course is 6-8 months.

Ultrasonic cavitation gives an almost instantaneous effect. If the patient has a normal metabolism, already during the first procedure up to 15 cm3 of fat deposits are removed from the body, that is, the problem area decreases in volume by 3-4 cm! New fat cells do not form in the treated areas, which is an additional argument in favor of the procedure.

Unlike liposuction, “melted” fats are removed from the body naturally.

6 Benefits of Ultrasonic Cavitation

1. Very fast aesthetic effect - almost immediately.
2. Low trauma – after the procedure there are no scars, swelling or hematomas, and there is no rehabilitation period.
3. Painless nature - you can get rid of fat deposits without anesthesia.
4. There is no need to wear compression garments after the procedure, since the skin does not sag.
5. There is no “washboard” effect on the skin.
6. The treated area remains sensitive.

Ultrasonic cavitation is a painless and effective fight against fatty deposits

Who is ultrasonic cavitation indicated for?

The cosmetic procedure is indicated for those who want:

• reduce the volume of local fat deposits;
• get rid of subcutaneous fat;
• improve the appearance of cellulite or after surgical liposuction;
• do skin tightening (lifting);
• remove unaesthetic lipomas (fat);
• improve lymph flow through safe lymphatic drainage.

2-3 sessions are enough to reduce the circumference of the problem area by 4-9 cm

Does the procedure have any contraindications?

You should refuse ultrasonic cavitation if:

• presence of a pacemaker in the body;
• serious disturbances in liver function (in such cases, the detoxification function is impaired and triglycerides will remain in the body);
• diabetes mellitus (serious endocrine disorder);
• any cancer disease;
• stones in the gall bladder and urinary tract;
• systemic connective tissue diseases, such as lupus erythematosus, scleroderma;
• skin lesions in the affected area;
• general infections in acute form;
• pregnancy and lactation.

On what device is it carried out?

In progressive clinics, the innovative AnchorFree Share V8-C1 complex-impact device is used for the ultrasonic cavitation procedure. The fold is captured automatically using pulsating movements, without affecting the internal organs. In addition to ultrasonic cavitation, the fold is affected by bipolar RF energy, infrared radiation and vacuum massage rollers, which together enhance the effect of ultrasound and accelerate the removal of fat deposits.

AnchorFree Share V8-C1 – an innovative device for safe and effective ultrasonic cavitation

The procedure includes the following steps:

• determination by a specialist of the boundaries of the area for processing;
• installation of a sensor on the problem area;
• its gradual movement from border to border;
• destruction of cell membranes and natural removal of adipose tissue.

To achieve maximum effect, patients are advised not to drink alcohol, spicy or fried foods during the previous three days, and immediately before the procedure, 2-4 hours before, to drink at least 1-1.5 liters of clean water. This will speed up the process of removing toxins and decay products.

For three weeks after the procedure, you must abstain from alcohol and limit your intake of fried and fatty foods. Physical activity and plenty of drinking can enhance the effect of the session.

Ultrasonic non-surgical liposuction using the innovative AnchorFree Share V8-C1 device allows you not only to get rid of extra centimeters, but also to maintain the result for a long time. No strict diets, no discomfort and especially no surgical intervention! Just 4-5 outpatient procedures are enough, without pain and inconvenience, and you will be happy to look at yourself in the mirror again!

Price

On average, ultrasound cavitation of the abdomen in Moscow costs 3,450 rubles per session. Depending on the size of the treated area, the price can vary from 1990 to 12,000 rubles. Also, when calculating the cost, the qualifications of the specialist, the status of the clinic and the level of equipment used are taken into account.

You can undergo this procedure in the cosmetology network. Sign up for a preliminary consultation on our website or by phone.

Cosmetic procedures are contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation.

Course duration

Cavitation sessions are recommended to be carried out every seven to ten days. During this period of time, the body manages to completely remove the contents of destroyed fat cells. Usually 5 – 8 procedures are enough to achieve good results in the fight against cellulite.

Comments and questions

Excellent procedure! I am very afraid of various operations, so this method has become a lifesaver.

RF face lifting – what is it?

As we have already said: RF lifting uses radio frequency energy. Technically, radio frequency is a certain number of oscillations (waves) per second of electric and magnetic fields in the radio wave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetic waves can be generated using voltage and emitted into space in the form of radio waves through an antenna or electrode.

What happens in the skin when exposed to radio frequency energy - according to the developers of the method - RF lifting causes microscopic changes in tissue, followed by remodeling of new collagen, as a result of which subcutaneous structures are improved and tightened. At the same time, during the procedure the texture of the upper layers of the skin is not affected and practically does not change in any way, i.e. You should not expect any smoothing of wrinkles.

An increase in temperature leads to contraction (shrinkage) of collagen-containing tissues. When the maximum operating temperature of 44-50 degrees is reached, even the fibrils inside the collagen fibers themselves are compressed. At this temperature, collagen fibers lose water, denature, shrink and, most importantly, lose their ability to stretch, which leads to increased skin elasticity.

According to the developers of the method and cosmetologists, RF lifting not only compresses collagen fibers, but also stimulates the production of one’s own collagen, which should lead to an increase in the level of collagen content in tissues. However, as you will see further, there is simply no objective evidence that there is also an increase in the amount of collagen.

What to combine cavitation with?

We recommend combining the procedure with RF lifting, which additionally stimulates the breakdown of fats and helps tighten the skin. In addition, ultrasound can be combined with vacuum massage, myostimulation procedure and pressotherapy. A comprehensive solution to the problem will increase the effectiveness of treatment and the duration of the result.
