Supersonic Cavitation

Supersonic cavitation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure offered by Vivo Body Studio. It is designed to reduce localised fat deposits and contour the body. This technique utilises ultrasound waves to target and break down fat cells in specific areas, leading to the reduction of fat without the need for surgical intervention. Unlike traditional liposuction, which physically removes fat, supersonic cavitation works by creating microscopic bubbles within the fat cells, which then implode and break down the fat. The body subsequently metabolises and eliminates these broken-down fat cells naturally over time.

The procedure is popular among individuals seeking to enhance their body shape and reduce stubborn fat areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms. It is often seen as an alternative to more invasive fat reduction methods, providing a less risky and more convenient option for body sculpting.

Research shows that the treatment is capable of reducing around 1.5cm of fat in a single in-clinic session.

The number of sessions required to achieve optimal results with supersonic cavitation can vary depending on several factors. It includes the individual’s body composition, the targeted area, and the desired outcome. On average, most people need between 6 to 12 sessions to see significant results. These sessions are typically spaced one to two weeks apart to allow the body adequate time to metabolise and eliminate the disrupted fat cells.

For best results, it is crucial to follow the recommended treatment plan and adhere to a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. This helps enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and supports overall fat reduction.

Supersonic cavitation is generally considered safe with minimal side effects. However, like any cosmetic procedure, it can have some minor side effects. Common side effects include:

• Mild Redness and Warmth: The treated area might experience temporary redness and warmth due to increased blood flow.
• Bruising: Occasionally, clients might develop slight bruising at the treatment site, though this is usually short-lived.
• Swelling: Some temporary swelling might occur, but it typically subsides within a few days.
• Soreness: The area may feel slightly sore or tender post-treatment, similar to the sensation after a workout.

Most side effects are mild and resolve on their own within a short period. It’s essential to consult with a clinician from Vivo Body Studio before starting treatment to understand the potential risks and ensure that supersonic cavitation is suitable for you.

The amount of fat reduced per session varies depending on the individual’s body and the area being treated. On average, clients can expect to see a reduction of about 1 to 2 centimetres in the circumference of the treated area per session. The total amount of fat loss achieved will accumulate over multiple sessions, with noticeable changes often becoming apparent after several treatments.

It’s important to manage expectations and remember that supersonic cavitation is most effective for reducing localised fat rather than for significant weight loss. Combining the treatment with a healthy lifestyle can help maximise results and enhance body contouring.

Supersonic cavitation is generally not painful. Most clients report only a mild sensation of warmth or tingling during the procedure. The ultrasound waves used in cavitation are designed to be non-invasive and target only the fat cells, leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.

If you experience discomfort or pain, it is important to inform your clinician immediately. They can adjust the settings or technique to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. Any discomfort experienced is usually temporary and should subside shortly after the session ends.

Supersonic cavitation is considered safe for most people when performed by a qualified professional. The procedure is non-invasive, and the use of ultrasound waves is generally well-tolerated by the body. However, there are specific contraindications and conditions where supersonic cavitation may not be recommended, such as:

• Pregnancy: It is generally advised to avoid supersonic cavitation during pregnancy.
• Certain Medical Conditions: Individuals with certain health conditions, such as severe cardiovascular issues or liver diseases, should consult their healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.
• Implants or Metal Plates: Areas with metal implants or plates might not be suitable for treatment.

Always ensure you are treated by a licensed and experienced practitioner who can assess your individual health needs and provide personalised advice.

Recovery time after a supersonic cavitation procedure is minimal. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately following the treatment. Some might experience mild redness, swelling, or soreness, but these effects usually resolve within a few hours to a couple of days.

It’s recommended to follow any post-treatment guidelines provided by your practitioner to optimise results and minimise any potential discomfort. This often includes drinking plenty of water to help flush out the broken-down fat cells and avoiding strenuous activities for a short period.

Preparing for a supersonic cavitation treatment involves a few simple steps:

• Consultation: Schedule a consultation at Vivo Body Studio to discuss your goals, assess your suitability for the procedure, and address any concerns.
• Hydration: Ensure you are well-hydrated before the treatment, as this helps with the effectiveness of the procedure.
• Avoid Heavy Meals: It is advisable to avoid heavy meals or alcohol prior to the treatment to minimise discomfort and ensure optimal results.
• No Direct Sun Exposure: Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning in the days leading up to the treatment to prevent any skin sensitivity.

By following these preparation steps, you can help ensure a smooth and effective treatment experience.

Aftercare for supersonic cavitation is relatively straightforward. Key aftercare tips include:

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help flush out the fat cells that have been broken down.
• Healthy Diet: Maintain a balanced diet to support the body’s natural fat metabolism and enhance results.
• Avoid Heat: Refrain from hot baths, saunas, or other heat treatments for 48 hours post-treatment to prevent any adverse effects.
• Exercise: Light exercise can be beneficial in stimulating circulation and aiding the fat reduction process, but avoid intense workouts immediately after the procedure.

Our clinician will provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment and needs.

While supersonic cavitation is primarily designed for fat reduction, some individuals report a degree of skin tightening as a secondary benefit. The procedure can help improve skin texture and elasticity by stimulating collagen production. However, if loose skin is a significant concern, additional treatments focused on skin tightening, such as radiofrequency therapy or laser treatments, may be recommended for more pronounced results.

At Vivo Body Studio, we offer several popular non-surgical fat reduction treatments, each designed to help you achieve your body contouring goals without the need for invasive procedures. These treatments are all safe, effective, and come with the added benefit of no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately.

The following are our most popular fat reduction treatments:

• Fat Freezing 360° – also known as cryolipolysis, is a cutting-edge treatment that targets and eliminates stubborn fat cells through controlled cooling.
• Radio Frequency Fat-melting – uses radiofrequency energy to target and heat fat cells, causing them to break down and be naturally processed by the body.
• Non-surgical Brazilian Bum Lift – a specialised treatment designed to enhance the appearance of the buttocks without the need for surgery.

The treatment works by improving the fat distribution in the buttocks area and stimulating collagen production, which helps to lift and firm the skin. This non-invasive approach allows you to achieve a fuller, more sculpted look with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Each of these non-surgical fat-loss treatments offers unique benefits tailored to different body contouring needs. Our goal is to provide effective, affordable, and safe solutions that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle, helping you achieve your desired results with ease.
