What is Ultrasonic Cavitation / RF Skin Tightening?
Ultrasonic cavitation is a cosmetic procedure that utilizes low-frequency sound waves to target fat deposits in the body. It is commonly employed for body contouring and fat reduction.
The technique works by creating small bubbles in the fat cell membranes through the application of ultrasound waves.
As these bubbles grow and subsequently implode, they generate a shockwave that effectively breaks down the fat cells and transforms them into a liquid state, which the body can then naturally eliminate through metabolic processes.
Combining ultrasonic cavitation, RF treatments, lymphatic drainage, and lipo laser therapy creates a powerful, non-invasive body contouring experience.
Each step is designed to work synergistically, maximizing results while ensuring patient comfort and safety.
Radio frequency (RF) is another non-invasive cosmetic treatment used primarily for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. This technique utilizes electromagnetic energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation.
RF is commonly employed to treat sagging skin around the face, neck, and other areas of the body.

What Happens During your Session
The procedure for ultrasonic cavitation is pretty straightforward. On the day of your appointment, your technician may ask you to undress in private and put on a paper gown, depending on the area of your body that you’re treating.
Your technician may sterilize the area of your treatment using alcohol. Using a handheld ultrasound device, they’ll slowly go over the target area of your body. You may feel a warm sensation during the procedure and hear a buzzing from the ultrasound machine. Treatments typically take between 40 minutes to an hour.
What Are The Steps?
STEP 1: Melting Fat Cells and Tightening Skin
The journey to a sleeker silhouette begins with ultrasonic cavitation combined with RF treatments. Ultrasonic cavitation employs high-frequency sound waves that penetrate the skin and emulsify fat cells, breaking them down into liquefied fat that can be naturally eliminated by the body.
This non-invasive procedure targets stubborn fat deposits without damaging surrounding tissues. At the same time, RF technology works to simultaneously tighten the skin, promoting collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity.
The heat generated by the RF energy stimulates the skin's natural healing processes, resulting in a smoother, firmer appearance. The synergy of both treatments enhances the overall effectiveness, delivering significant results in body contouring with minimal discomfort.
STEP 2: Lymphatic Drainage and Continued Tightening
Following the initial treatment, the second step utilizes RF radio frequency alongside lymphatic drainage suction. This combination continues to tighten the skin while promoting the removal of fat and toxins from the body.
The lymphatic drainage technique aids in enhancing circulation and decreasing inflammation, allowing the body to efficiently process and eliminate the liquefied fat that was released during the first step.
By facilitating lymphatic flow, this treatment not only contributes to the reduction of localized fat but also improves skin tone and texture. Patients often notice a visibly smoother contour and a reduction in bloating or swelling, giving them a renewed sense of confidence.
STEP 3: Lipo Laser Therapy for Enhanced Results
(OUR NEW ADDED STEP)
The final step in this comprehensive body contouring process introduces lipo laser therapy, a cutting-edge addition that enhances the overall efficacy of the treatment plan.
During this phase, Lipo laser pads are placed on the targeted area and secured with a belt, allowing for comfortable and effective treatment. For 15 - 20 minutes, the lipo laser pads deliver low-level laser energy that penetrates the skin, stimulating adipocyte (fat cell) metabolism.
This process encourages the fat cells to release their stored content, effectively "melting" away the unwanted fat. Patients can enjoy this quiet relaxation period while experiencing the benefits of fat reduction without any invasive procedures or downtime.
What to expect after
After ultrasonic cavitation, you should be able to stand up and drive yourself home. Pain and bruising are usually minimal. You’ll be instructed to hydrate as much as possible after the procedure to help your body flush the fatty cells through your lymphatic system. But don’t expect to see results right away.
It takes time for your body to break down and dissolve the fat cells that have been dislodged. You may also require repeated treatments to see visible results. Most candidates for this treatment see their final result within 6 to 12 weeks.
On average, treatment requires 5 - 6 visits for visible results. Results of this treatment are permanent, as long as you maintain a healthy diet and exercise. If you have a sedentary lifestyle, fat deposits may return to areas that have been treated.
