How does it work?
The ultrasound wavelength quickly expands and contracts (vibrates) the cell membrane of the fat cell causing a small air pocket to develop inside the cell. This air bubble then bursts the cell wall and the triglycerides inside the cell are released into the surrounding fluid (interstitial fluid). Adipose (fat) is the only cell affected as it is weaker than other cells, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. Triglycerides convert into glycerol (moves into the blood stream for energy) and fatty acids. The fatty acids are taken up by the lymphatic system and moved to the liver for use or disposal. It is important to follow the protocol given by your practitioner so the dispersed fat is not re-stored in your body, but is instead used up or eliminated.
What to Expect:
There are different intensities of treatment you can receive. Depending on the location on the body, the size of the area needing treatment, and level of sensitivity, your practitioner will adjust the treatment intensity. The treatment uses gel that warms as treatment progresses. It feels like a hot stone massage. During treatment you may hear a buzzing sound. You will be given some earphones with music to listen to, which will help enjoyment of the treatment.
Results are best when pre and post-treatment protocols are followed, and subsequent treatments will result in further circumference losses. Treatments can be given at 4 days - 2 weeks intervals. Depending on desired results, the size of the area treated, and the thickness of fat layer, 5-10 treatments of 30 minutes are recommended to achieve the best result. Results can vary depending on the body’s normal metabolic processes, including age and tissue structure, or can be affected by hormone fluctuations and medications.
Your practitioner is a qualified technician and can advise you on products available to further help your weight loss path if you are interested.
Is the Treatment Safe?
Studies have shown that ultrasound treatment is safe for use on the human body. However ultrasound treatment for fat loss is not appropriate for those who are pregnant, breast feeding, have compromised liver function, tendencies to bleeding, pace makers, epilepsy, acute illness, or cancer. Considering the cost and risks of cosmetic surgery procedures, Ultrasound Cavitation can provide a non-invasive alternative. Your practitioner will take a case history to ensure treatment is appropriate for you.
Does it last?
Once the treatment is applied, those fat cells are destroyed. The treatment is best combined with healthy eating and exercise regimes to ensure the destroyed fat cells are not rebuilt by the body. Avoiding alcohol for up to 4 days after treatment is extremely important as the liver will prioritize removing alcohol from your body rather than the fat cells. Once you achieve your desired result, sessions can be booked every 3 or 6 months if you wish to help maintain the results. Ask your practitioner about further tips to help your results last.

What to do PRIOR to your visit:
- Drink at least 2L of water before your treatment
- Do not drink ANY alcohol or caffeine in the day of your treatment
- No heavy weight lifting 48 hrs prior
What to do POST treatment:
- Drink at least another 2L in the day after your treatment (soft drink, soda, juice or tea is not water).
- Do not drink ANY alcohol or caffeine 48hrs after.
- Do dry skin brushing daily to stimulate lymph movement between treatments & use home care Celluless kit.
- Diet: Follow a low GI diet for best results*
- Reduce salt intake
- No heavy weight lifting 72 hrs after due to lactic acid build up, the body considers it poison/waste product of the muscle, lactic acid gets preferential flushing before the fatty acids we want flushed, thus risking re-absorption and re-storage of fat.
- Exercise: Brisk exercise for at least 20 minutes the same day post-treatment.
