Frequently Asked Questions
Slimming Sensation
utilize a unique cavitation
technology that allows for non-invasive removal
of stubborn fat deposits that never seems to disappear
no matter of your diet or how hard you work out. The
most problematic body areas are: abdomen, flanks
(“love handles”), thighs (“saddle bags”), buttocks, inner
knees, upper arm, male breasts. Your body can be now contoured with no anesthesia, no
scars, and no down-time. What is Cavitation?
 Cavitation is a natural phenomenon based on low frequency
ultrasound. The ultrasound
field creates the bubbles in the
liquid, which gradually grow,
and implode at certain size.
The energy in the form of
heat (minor effect) and
pressure wave (major effect)
is released. As the
membranes of fat cells
do not have the structural
capacity to withstand
the vibrations, the effect
of cavitation easily breaks
them, while sparing the vascular,
nervous and muscular tissue.
What happens to the released fat?
After disruption of adipose cells, the fat in the form of
triglycerides is released into the interstitial fluid between
the cells, where they are enzymatically metabolized to
glycerol and free fatty acids. Water soluble glycerol is
absorbed by the circulatory system and used as the energy
source, whereas the insoluble free fatty acids are
transported to the liver and processed as fatty acids
from food.
What is the treatment like?
The cavitation treatment does not require any special
pre-treatment. It starts with circumference measurement
of the target body area, continues with circular movements
of the applicator over the treatment site, and is
finalized with another circumference measurement.
The duration of treatment session
normally takes around
40 minutes, depending on the size of the area and the
thickness of the fat layer. 3 to 6 sessions at 2-week intervals
are recommended in order to achieve a notable
result, but further treatments may be needed to attain
your desired silhouette. What will I feel during the treatment?
The treatment does not require anesthesia. Most of the
clients consider the procedure painless and comfortable.
There may be, however, a slight discomfort due
to the specific noise spreading inside your body, but it
poses no harm and disappears as soon as you are not
in contact with the applicator. You may also experience
a little warmth during the treatment. If it turns burning
hot, immediately request some extra ultrasound gel to
be applied.
Can I expect any side effects?
There is a slight possibility of mild side effects such
as transient redness, excessive thirst, and nausea immediately
after the treatment which always resolves
by drinking water. They are all short-term effects that
disappear in few hours to few days.
Even though the studies have proven the treatment
safe, the cavitation is not be used in clients with an
acute illness, comprised liver function, severe bleeding
tendencies, pace makers, or during pregnancy.
What are the expected treatment results?
The cavitation treatment yields immediate and longlasting
results. Most of the clients experience 2 to 12
cm of circumference reduction after a single session,
with increasing results after each visit. The results
may vary with different tissue structure, treatment
area, age, metabolism, medications, and changes in
hormones.
Proper diet and increased physical activity will certainly
improve and help to maintain the results. Are there any lifestyle
restrictions after the treatment?
For best results you should refrain from
any alcohol consumption for 3 days after the
treatment. Alcohol consumption during this
period may prevent your liver from removing
the deactivated fat cells from your body (as
the liver will assign priority to removing
the alcohol from your blood). |
