Ultracavitation is a safe, painless and non-invasive therapeutic technique, which uses low frequency ultrasound to eliminate localized fat and remodel the silhouette, without damaging the microcirculation and adjacent tissues, and can be used in men and women.
This treatment is safe and effective and can be carried out on people who want to eliminate fat located on the belly, arms, buttocks or thighs, for example, however it is not a suitable technique for people who want to lose weight, and is recommended for people with a healthy BMI and percentage of body fat within limits.
The results may already be visible in the first session, but it takes around 6 to 10 sessions to obtain the desired results. Each session can cost around 100 reais.
How it works and how it is done
Ultracavitation is performed with a device called cavitational ultrasound, which emits ultrasonic waves that are capable of creating numerous gas bubbles of a small size, which accumulate body energy and increase in size, creating a stable compression in the cavities of the interstitial fluid of the hypodermis, which will lead to the breakdown of the adipocyte membrane, releasing the fat that is then collected by the lymphatic system and taken to the vascular system, being then sent to the liver to be metabolized.
The procedure is carried out in an aesthetic office, by a specialized professional, where the person lies on a stretcher. A conductive gel is then placed on the area to be treated, where the device is passed slowly, using gentle movements.
The number of sessions depends on the amount of fat located in the region and the person’s response to the treatment, requiring, on average, around 6 to 10 sessions.
What are the results
The results are visible right after the first session, in which around 2 centimeters of body volume are eliminated. Recovery is immediate and the results are long-lasting.
