Ultrasonic cavitation was introduced in Milan in 2005 (under the Italian name "Cavitazione Estetica "), although the physical phenomenon called cavitation has been known since the '60s.

What is the Ultrasound Cavitation Liposuction Treatment Like?

The cavitation treatment does not require any special pre-treatment. It starts with a circumference measurement of the target body area and continues with circular movements of an ultrasound applicator over the treatment site.

To obtain the best results, it is highly recommended that you also have a treatment for "Lymph-Drainage." These combined treatments intensify the final result.

The duration of a treatment session can vary from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the area's size and the fat layer's thickness. Bello Corpo Med Spa technology uses a 50kHz focused ultrasound cavitation effect to cause microscopic air bubbles to surround the lipocyte (fat cell) membranes. With its resonant frequency, the bubbles cause a high enough pressure to push the fat cells to break up instantly. The broken lipocytes are then moved to the liver and safely metabolized out of the human body, which is assisted by drinking a lot of water.

It produces lipolysis of fatty acids from adipocytes (fat-laden cells) due to a phenomenon known as stable cavitation and increased cell permeability of the adipocytes. You get an increased flow of triglycerides. Furthermore, the fibers are broken through mechanical action ("jet stream"). Finally, some content of adipocytes is metabolized by the liver and eliminated in the urine, so it's always recommended to drink plenty of water both on the day of treatment and subsequent days.

The procedure works to remove superficial fat and non-volumetric fat accumulation. Results can sometimes be noticed after the first treatment, with more improvement noticed within a few days.

You will see why the "Lymph Drainage" treatments would enhance the final result.

Suppose you're a man or woman who can't eliminate those stubborn bulges through healthy exercise and diet and don't want to undergo surgery (liposuction or tummy tuck). In that case, this non-surgical fat reduction and body contouring technique is for you. Remember, it has no downtime or side effects and costs much less.

Even though the studies have proven the treatment safe, cavitation cannot be used in clients with any acute illness, comprised of liver function, severe bleeding tendencies, pacemakers, or during pregnancy.
