Fat Loss Cavitation

  • 30MIN $90

    BOOKINGS AVAILABLE WITH DR. CORRALES ONLY

    Ultrasound cavitation is an FDA approved, 30-40min ultrasound technology treatment used to break down fat cells below the skin. It’s a non-surgical method of reducing cellulite and localized fat. This is not a weight loss treatment so you will only lose the weight of fat lost.
    *The client does experience an inner ear ringing while the machine is in use.


    A cavitation device uses ultrasound and RF (Radio Frequency) technology to break down fat cells in your body. Basically, heat and sound waves are used they penetrate your skin and then break down the stubborn fat, convert it into small pieces, and then convert it into a liquid substance that then leaves your body mainly through your lymphatic system or your urinary tract.

Important Info Before Booking

How will I achieve the best results?

2x/ week is recommended for best results.
One course of treatment is 10 sessions.

Length of appointment will depend on client's BMI, and one to two treatment areas are included each session (i.e. abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, face), barring that there are no contraindications.

The ultrasound cavitation treatment will often give immediate results which you can feel, touch, and see, and it will be long lasting.  Some clients can experience between 1-4cm of circumference reduction after a single session with increasing results after more visits.  Multiple sessions are usually required.  Speed of results varies from individual to individual.

Where on the body can the treatment be done?

The abdomen, waist, back, thighs, hips, underarms, and chin.  This procedure can’t be performed on body parts such as the head, chest, and other bony areas of the body.

Who is an ideal candidate for Cavitation RF treatment?

Anyone who is not considered medically obese.  It is meant for those who want to shed those few extra pounds.  This treatment is not for those who are severely overweight.

Another candidate for treatment who would greatly benefit from Cavitation RF treatment are those who have had tummy tucks or BBI procedures and need lymphatic drainage and massage to avoid fibrosis after surgery.  This method of treatment can also be used to relieve aches and pains; results will vary person to person.

How does the procedure work?

The Vacuum RF therapy system uses suction and pressure to release fluids in the fat cells that cause cellulite along with radio frequency energies to create superficial and deep healing of connective tissue fibers, dermal collagen fibers and fat cells.  These energies soften the connective tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen for improved elasticity and resilience.

Radio Frequency Body Contouring heats the skin to over 104 degrees which safely and comfortably minimizes the appearance of cellulite dimpling and fatty bulges, while tightening the skin and improving the contours of the target area.  At the deepest level, the RF alters the network of connective tissues that hold the fat cells in place, pulling them closer together so that the cellulite does not bulge out and create the well-known rippling we associated with cellulite.  RF also targets the fat cells themselves, causing them to shrink in size, which has the effect of slimming down the target area.

Before + After Treatment

  • Drink plenty of water before treatment and at least 32oz after treatment.
  • No food one hour before and after treatment.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption 2-3 days before treatment as alcohol can prevent the liver from working as it should to remove fat as it will make alcohol metabolism its priority before fat removal and could slow your results.
  • Try to avoid caffeine the next day after treatment as caffeine dehydrates, making it harder for your body to flush itself out.  If you are going to drink caffeine, increase your water intake by another four cups in addition to the 32oz of water you should drink after treatment.
  • After treatment, you should do 20min of exercise to stimulate the lymph movement.

Diet

The loss of fat through Cavitation and RF should not return unless you eat a high fat, high carbohydrate diet.  In which case, what you eat will again turn to fat and re-inhabit the area of fat that was previously removed.  It is recommended that you eat low carb, low fat foods for healthy maintenance.

Will I lose weight?

Ultrasound cavitation and RF therapy is NOT a weight loss treatment.  It is specifically for fat and cellulite reduction.  Having said that, fat has weight.  Once that fat leaves the body, you will see the weight loss of that fat.

Is Cavitation RF treatment safe?

Yes.  This treatment modality is FDA approved for the removal of fat and cellulite from the body.
