Today we are talking about cavitation or medical lipocavitationan aesthetic medicine treatment that you can find among the services we at MedikalBeauty we offer.
What is cavitation or medical lipocavitation?
There are two types of cavitation: aesthetic and medical.
La aesthetic cavitation is a treatment that emits ultrasound at high frequency and acts only on the surface without passing through the skin barrier. This is because the higher the frequency, the less deeply the ultrasound can penetrate.
La cavitation or medical lipocavitationis an aesthetic medicine treatment aimed at reducing localised fat pads and fighting cellulite using ultrasound at low frequency (30-70Hz). By Law, only The latter is allowed to penetrate deeply and thus act on fat by reducing the adipose state.
This treatment is painless and well tolerated; the only sensation is a slight warmth.
Only in some particular situations is it better avoidi.e. in cases of pregnancy, pacemakers, serious metabolic disorders, neoplasms, liver or kidney failure. Particular care must also be taken in cases of hypercholesterolaemia.
In our centres, we therefore carry out a free personalised check-up in order to assess suitability for treatment and the correct course of action for each need.
What is it for?
I benefits of cavitation or medical lipocavitation are different, let's see them together.
As we have said, it is a medical aesthetic treatment with the main purpose of reduce localised fat pads and combat cellulite as well as the 'orange peel skin' effect. The latter result is due to the fact that ultrasound cavitation after a few sessions produces the absorption of fat cells by the lymphatic system, which disposes of them via the liver and kidneys. The low-frequency ultrasounds that are emitted in fact help the fat cells to empty themselves, releasing lipids that are then disposed of in a natural and physiological way.
It is also very effective for fat reduction as the medical cavitation process breaks up the microbubbles in the adipocytes causing the elimination of fat cells.
Cavitation also allows the body to be reshaped without necessarily having to resort to invasive surgical techniques.
In addition, medical lipocavitation oxygenates the tissues and this causes the circulation to be reactivated, promoting fluid drainage. All this leads to your skin becoming more revitalised, toned and elastic.
How does it happen?
Le treatment areas of cavitation or medical lipocavitation are those where there is intense accumulation of adipose tissue: buttocks, thighs, hips, abdomen and sometimes arms. - Here, the practitioner who will perform the treatment will spread a layer of gel that serves as a conductor for the ultrasonic waves.
Afterwards, using a handpiece passed repeatedly over the affected areas with a gentle massage, the ultrasound will act by breaking down the fat cells. The session usually lasts about 20 to 30 minutes and the frequency is once a week.
At the end of the lipocavitation or medical cavitation our expert will perform a manual or mechanical lymph drainage treatment with pressure therapy. This promotes the expulsion of the freed fat.
Roughly speaking, the cycle consists of 6 to 12 sessions - depending on the specific case and the areas to be treated - carried out at regular intervals. In addition to the main effect of lipolysis, the cavitation treatment has as its immediate aim the relaxation of skin and tissues, thanks to the heating produced by the ultrasounds, which, reaching the dermis and subcutis, encourages the contraction and thickening of collagen and the formation of new collagen. The first results will already be visible from the first session.
