Ultrasonic cavitation relies on ultrasound technology to break apart fat cells.

 

Ultrasound waves are sent deep into the layers of your skin, causing a disruptive vibration. Fat cells then break apart from each other and are dislodged from your dermal layers.

 

After a few days, the fat cells are absorbed by your lymphatic system and drained as waste from your body.

To prepare for your appointment, your provider will give you detailed instructions, which you should follow carefully.

 

Make sure that you disclose the following to your provider before your appointment:

​

• any medical conditions you have

• any herbal supplements you take

• any medication that you’ve been prescribed
   

Avoid drinking alcohol for at least 48 hours before your appointment.

 

You may also be advised to avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, in the 2 weeks leading up to your procedure.

 

Drink plenty of water before and after your treatment so that your body can flush out fat deposits quickly.
