BODY CONTOURING
ULTRASOUND LIPO-CAVITATION
Body contouring or Ultrasonic cavitation, (aka ultrasonic lipolysis), is a body contouring treatment that is used to remove fat deposits under your skin, typically the upper arms, belly, love handles, thighs, and chin.
This procedure is a safer alternative to surgical options, such as liposuction. This is because the treatment uses ultrasonic radio frequency (radio waves) to break apart fat cells, which are then absorbed into your body by your lymphatic system.
Ultrasonic cavitation is different to similar treatments, like ultrasound liposuction, because it does not require any incisions. This means recovery is easier. It also means that results for some are not as noticeable.
BOOK APPOINTMENT
The ultrasonic cavitation technology enables concentrated sonic energy to be delivered to precise localised areas, it is then capable of selectively disrupting the subcutaneous (under the skin) fat cells through thousands of micro-scopic implosions impacting the fat cell membranes.
The ‘science’ - After the breakdown and liquefaction of the body fat, it is released into the interstitial fluid between the cells, where they are enzymatically metabolised to glycerol travels into the circulatory system used for new energy generation whereas the insoluble free fatty acids enter the liver where they are decomposed like any other simple fatty acid.
Destroying these fat cells removes the body’s immediate capacity to store fat, whilst the body’s fat cell metabolism is also improved. Ultrasonic cavitation sound waves increase the pressure around your fat cells causing them to implode and break, liquefying and releasing fat and toxins. These sound waves penetrate approx.1-2cm into the body which creates cavities (empty bubbles) which raises the pressure around the fat cells.
The membranes of fat cells do not have the structural capacity to withstand the vibrations, therefore, the effect of cavitation easily breaks each cell independently, releasing fat and toxins while the vascular, nervous systems and muscular tissue is left unaffected. The fat is then carried out of the body through natural metabolic processes. The body naturally metabolises the liquified fat and toxins releasing them over the next 24 – 72 hours.
How does it work?
Ultrasonic cavitation naturally destroys your unwanted fat cells and reshapes your body instantly. Cavitation non-surgical liposuction is completely pain free, non-invasive and delivers consistent, immediate and long-lasting results when combined with a healthy diet and moderate exercise.
• Stimulates the lymphatic system
• Increases metabolism
• Dehydrates and decomposes fatty tissue
• Removes stored toxins from cells
• Increased blood flow through treated areas
• Tightens and tones treated tissue
• Encourages collagen production
• Boosts natural production of skin cells
• Triggers the body’s natural chemicals to encourage anti-ageing of the skin to take place
• Non-surgical, no down time, safe, comfortable, and pain-free
what are the BENEFITS?
HOW LONG DOES EACH SESSION TAKE?
The duration of treatment sessions is usually between 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area and the thickness of the fat layer.

Depending on your requirements you can book anything from a 'one off' treatment for that special occasion, have one treatment per week, fortnight, per month or every quarter to help give you that extra boost on inch and weight loss with a particular healthy eating slimming programme you are attending.
For clients who consider themselves to be overweight a number of sessions may be needed. The total number of sessions required differ from client to client. The minimum number of ten treatments completed at intervals of 1 or 2 times a week will help with this particular problem.
How many treatments are required?
It is preferable for a client to avoid a heavy meal immediately before or after intended treatments, as this provides another source of energy for the body instead of making use of that released from their fat cells. This in turn could reduce the treatment results as excess fatty acids and glycerol may be restored in the fat cells. (For example – Morning treatments – a light breakfast and a light lunch and then a balanced size evening meal. Afternoon treatments – a normal balanced breakfast and a light lunch followed by a lighter evening meal than that which would normally be consumed).
The most beneficial clinical effect will be had if these meals are avoided in the 2 hours before and after a treatment.
• In the week before a treatment session, it is recommended to drink about eight glasses of water daily, adequate fluids are needed to help your body process the excess fat and that will be released as a result of the procedure.
• Keep alcohol consumption to a minimum 48 hours prior to and post treatments (excessive alcohol will limit liver function needed to process these substances).
• After treatment, you should continue consuming adequate amounts of water and getting regular exercise to help your body process the excess triglycerides and fatty substances released during the procedure.
• Where possible it is also recommended that 48 hours prior and post treatment carbonated drinks and caffeinated tea and coffee are limited.
