cavitation

What it is

Low-frequency ultrasound that creates cavitation (bubbles) in fatty tissue to break down fat cells. Combined with manual massage.

Treatment Protocol

Initial series:

• 8-12 treatments recommended

• Interval: 1-2 times per week

• Total: 4-8 weeks

MAINTENANCE (Often Forgotten!):

• Monthly treatments recommended

• Without maintenance: Fat returns gradually

Procedure

1. Circumference measurement (before/after)

2. Gel is applied

3. Ultrasound cavitation (20-30 min per area)

4. Manual massage/lymphatic drainage (15-20 min)

Duration

45-60 minutes per area

Pain Level

Minimal - comfortable treatment. Warm sensation during ultrasound.

Downtime

• None

• Can work/exercise same day

• Recommended to drink plenty of water

• Avoid alcohol 24-48h

Healing Time

Treatment 1-3:

• No visible change yet (normal!)

• Drink plenty of water

• May feel slightly tired

Treatment 4-6:

• Subtle improvement possible

• Some notice nothing (normal)

• Continue series

Treatment 7-10:

• Best results if it works

• Circumference reduction 1-3cm (if any)

• Measurable difference

After series:

• Best results 2-4 weeks after last treatment

• Evaluate results

• Start maintenance

Side Effects

Common:

• Mild redness (1-2 hours)

• Increased urination (normal - body eliminates fat)

• Fatigue

• Nausea (rare)

Rare:

• Swelling

• Bruising

Aftercare

Critical for results:

• Drink at least 2L water daily

• Lymphatic massage helps

Without this: Minimal results

• NOT a weight loss treatment

• NOT dramatic before/after

• May provide 1-3cm circumference reduction (if any)

• 30-50% see no measurable effect

• Individual response varies enormously

• Best as supplement to diet and exercise

Contraindications

• Acute infections

• Cancer

Warning signs

• Severe pain

• Significant swelling

• Signs of allergic reaction

Individual variations

Good response (20-30%):

• 2-3cm circumference reduction

• Visibly smoother skin

• Satisfied with result

Moderate response (30-40%):

• 1-2cm circumference reduction

• Subtle improvement

• Reasonably satisfied

Minimal response (20-30%):

• <1cm circumference reduction

• Difficult to see difference

• Not satisfied

No response (10-20%):

• No measurable change

• Unfortunately it doesn't work for everyone

Maintenance

MAINTENANCE essential:

• Monthly treatments recommended
