Ultrasonic cavitation is an FDA-cleared, nonsurgical fat reduction treatment. Also called ultrasound cavitation, ultra cavitation, fat cavitation, or cavi lipo, the procedure uses ultrasound waves to destroy fat cells in targeted treatment areas—typically the upper arms, belly, love handles, thighs, or chin.
Cavitation lipo is often presented as an alternative to body contouring with liposuction, but unlike surgical lipo—which can produce optimal results with a single procedure—you’ll need multiple (as in, up to 12) ultrasonic cavitation treatments to see significant changes. You’ll also have to wait up to three months for your lymphatic system to flush fatty acids before you'll see your final results.
While it's not a quick fix, this body sculpting method has other advantages. Each ultrasonic cavitation session is relatively quick: it takes about an hour for your provider to glide the cavitation machine’s handheld probe over the desired area, delivering low-frequency sound waves that “vibrate” the walls of the fat cells until they burst and turn into free fatty acids the body can expel.
The treatment itself is painless (it has even been called relaxing) and requires little to no downtime. Risks are minimal and side effects are rare.
