What is Ultrasound Cavitation?
Cavitation is a physical phenomenon associated with the formation and subsequent collapse of vacuum or gas bubbles in a liquid. This effect is caused by various reasons, but specifically, in medicine, the principle of acoustic or ultrasonic cavitation is used. For example, with the help of ultrasound, urologists destroy kidney stones, and dentists clean the teeth of patients from stones and plaque. In cosmetology, ultrasound is successfully used in shock wave therapy and body cavitation procedures.
This is a modern technique, the effect of which is comparable to liposuction, while cavitation does not require surgery, anesthesia, and a rehabilitation period. The session takes only a few minutes, allowing you to achieve impressive results.
Results:
You can achieve great results from the treatment of reducing the volume of the abdomen and waist after the first session from 1 to 5 cm. You can achieve significant weight loss and also reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Ideal Candidate:
The most suitable candidate for Ultrasound Cavitation in Georgia & Tbilisi if you want to resolve any of the following conditions:
- Fat folds and deposits on the abdomen, back, buttocks, sides, thighs
- Cellulite
- The consequences of liposuction or injections with lipolytic
The treatment cannot be conducted under the following conditions:
- Pregnancy and lactation
- Oncological diseases
- Blood clotting disorders
- Metal structures in the treated area
- autoimmune disease or immunosuppression
- Osteoporosis
- Diabetes
- Damage to the cardiovascular system
- The presence of a pacemaker or other electronic devices for life support
- Violation of the integrity of the skin in the treated area
- Individual intolerance to ultrasound
- Exacerbation of chronic diseases.
How Does it Work?
A special device produces an acoustic wave that easily penetrates through the skin directly into the adipose tissue. Under the influence of low-frequency ultrasound, microbubbles of vacuum are created in adipocyte fat cells. Due to the natural expansion process, they rupture after a certain time, causing the destruction of the cell walls. As a result, unretained fat flows into the intercellular space, from where it is already much easier to extract. Depending on the method of removing this released fat from the body, two types of body cavitation are distinguished:
Invasive Technique: With this method, the contents of fat cells are extracted with special cannula needles through punctures in the skin. Manipulation is painful, therefore it is carried out under local or general anesthesia, depending on the size and characteristics of the treated area. In one session, it is possible to remove fat deposits with a volume of 1.5 liters or more.
Non-Invasive Technique: The fat released by the cavitation effect of ultrasound is removed from the body using natural metabolic processes – through the blood and lymphatic ducts. Accordingly, punctures in the skin are not needed, there is no additional burden on the body in the form of anesthesia. In one session, the patient loses about 0.5 liters of fat.
Preparation:
Before the session, you will need to follow simple rules:
- 3 days before ultrasound cavitation, exclude high-calorie foods from the diet, as well as fried, smoked, and spicy dishes.
- A few days before the procedure, an adequate water balance should be maintained: drink up to 2-3 liters of pure non-carbonated water per day.
- Eliminate alcohol a few days before the session.
Procedure:
Stages of the treatment include:
Consultation with a cosmetologist: Collection of anamneses, examination, exclusion of contraindications for the procedure. Choice of the treated area.
Machine setup: The patient is located on the couch in a supine or reclining position. A special gel is applied to the problem area, a similar one is used for an ultrasound so that the skin does not rub, and the sensor of the device fits snugly against the body.
Carrying out ultrasonic cavitation: Depending on the area, the procedure lasts from 20 to 40 minutes.
End of the session: the patient wipes the remaining gel from the skin.
To enhance the effect of fat burning, it is recommended to undergo additional cosmetic procedures: pressure therapy, lipolytic injectable cocktails, lymphatic drainage or massage.

Ultrasound Cavitation FAQ’S:
What Does Cavitation Ultrasound Do?
The process of breaking down fat cells beneath the skin using ultrasound technology is known as ultrasonic or ultrasonic cavitation. It is a non-surgical way to get rid of localized fat and cellulite.
How Long Do Ultrasonic Cavitation Results Last?
The results are long-lasting as cavitation destroys fat cells permanently by liquefying them with ultrasound waves. After just one session, you will be able to see results in terms of inches lost.
What Are The Risks Of Ultrasound Fat Cavitation?
Overusing ultrasonic cavitation treatments can raise the possibility of unpleasant side effects like bruising, discomfort, or sensitive skin. It's critical to adhere to the suggested treatment plan while maintaining a nutritious diet.
How Many Inches Can You Lose With Cavitation?
One cavitation treatment can reduce circumference by an average of one to two inches. Instant and cumulative effects are possible and for best results, a course of several treatments is advised.
Does Cavitation Tighten Skin?
Without a doubt, cavitation can tighten the skin when done correctly. Skin tightening can also be achieved with ultrasound cavitation if high-power equipment and a smaller area are used to allow the epidermis to reach a certain temperature.
Does Cavitation Work Immediately?
Only a few days after the first session ends will the first results start to show. Approximately ten sessions are required for the best results, however, this will differ for each patient.
How Can I Improve My Cavitation Results?
An eight-hour pre-treatment and a three-day post-treatment low-calorie, low-carb, low-fat, and low-sugar diet are advised for optimal outcomes. The triglycerides released by ultrasonic cavitation are aided in their utilization by the body through this diet.
