Cavitation

Ultrasonic cavitation uses ultrasound technology to target areas of stubborn fat and improve the appearance of cellulite and localised areas. After a consultation, I will identify the areas to focus on and tailor the treatment to your individual needs.

A conductive gel is applied to the treatment area, and the handheld device is moved over the skin with gentle pressure. The treatment is designed to be comfortable, with minimal discomfort. Drinking plenty of water after your session is recommended to support the body’s natural processes.

 

 

Ultrasonic Cavitation – Frequently Asked Questions 

What is ultrasonic cavitation?

Ultrasonic cavitation is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment that uses ultrasound technology to target stubborn fat and improve the appearance of body shape. It is designed to be a non-surgical alternative for people looking to enhance areas that may not respond to diet or exercise.

How does ultrasonic cavitation work?

The device emits ultrasound waves that are applied to the treatment area using a handheld applicator. The treatment is designed to be comfortable and is tailored to your individual goals and body shape.

Who is a good candidate for ultrasonic cavitation?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have stubborn fat areas that don’t respond to diet or exercise

  • Are close to your ideal weight

  • Want a non-surgical body-contouring option

  • Prefer gradual, natural-looking results

  • Don’t want downtime or anaesthesia

People not ideal for treatment include those with active infections, pacemakers or metal implants, severe medical conditions, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Is ultrasonic cavitation safe?

When performed by a trained professional, ultrasonic cavitation is generally considered safe. Side effects are typically mild and temporary.

Are there any side effects?

Possible short-term effects may include:

  • Mild redness or warmth

  • Temporary swelling

  • Light bruising

  • Slight tenderness

  • Temporary skin texture changes

These symptoms usually resolve within a few hours to a few days.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as warm and relaxing, with minimal discomfort. Some people may hear a faint buzzing sound during the treatment due to the ultrasound waves — this is normal and harmless.

How many sessions will I need?

Many clients see the best results after 6–12 sessions, spaced 1 week apart. Larger areas may require additional treatments.

How long does each session take?

A typical session lasts around 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

How soon will I see results?

Some clients notice changes after 1–3 sessions, but results are usually most noticeable 2–6 weeks after completing a full course, as results develop gradually.

How long do results last?

Results can be long-lasting when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Individual outcomes vary, and maintaining results depends on diet and exercise habits.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

For best results:

  • Drink plenty of water before your appointment

  • Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours

  • Avoid heavy meals two hours before treatment

  • Wear comfortable clothing

  • Maintain regular physical activity

What should I do after my treatment?

Post-care can help support results:

  • Drink plenty of water

  • Light exercise (e.g., walking)

  • Avoid alcohol or caffeine for 24–48 hours

  • Maintain a balanced diet

Can the fat come back after treatment?

Individual results vary. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps support long-term outcomes. Results are not guaranteed.
