Lipo Cavitation
This non-invasive body contouring technique uses ultrasound cavitation to target fat cells. The targeted ultrasound frequency creates pressure and bubbles causing fat cell walls to break down and release their contents, which are then eliminated by the body

Hydration plays a MAJOR ROLE in attaining results, this procedure being most effective when you are very well hydrated. We recommend drinking at least 2 litres of water per day and avoiding alcohol and caffeine for 2 days prior your procedure, and continuing drinking 2-3 litres of water for 72 hours after, as your body is flushing out the fatty acids.
The eliminated fatty acids will be processed by the liver, so it is advised to avoid consuming things that further tax the liver such as alcohol and fried/fatty/sugary foods for 72 hours following the procedure.
15-30 minutes of cardio exercise is recommended immediately post treatment and daily for 72 hours after in order to activate the circulatory and lymphatic systems and allow the body to flush out the fat. Running, swimming, power walking, HIIT exercise sessions or trampoline exercise are great for stimulating your lymphatic system. Any form of sweating such as a sauna session can also enhance elimination.
If you follow these steps you can see quicker results and need less treatments saving you time and money!

FAQ
Is lipo cavitation painful?
No, lipo cavitation is not painful, and there is no downtime post treatment.
What happens during treatment?
Your body contouring technician will take photos of the treated area in order to track progress.
Lipo cavitation may be performed together with other techniques such as wood therapy and laser lipo depending on your unique needs. Lymphatic drainage is included in all treatments in order to help start the process of draining the released fat.
After treatment pictures will be again taken to keep track of progress. We also encourage you to keep taking pictures of the treated area daily at home between treatments to track your body’s response.
How fast will I see results?
Reductions in size can be seen immediately after treatment and for the next 72 hours as the body is flushing out the fat cells. As with any treatment, results vary depending on your size, metabolism and most importantly following pre and post treatment instructions. Combining lipo cavitation with other treatments such as laser lipo and ice therapy produces faster results.
Are the results permanent?
Lipo cavitation permanently destroys fat cells and the released fat will be permanently removed from the body. However, excessive eating and lack of exercise will result in new fat accumulation, therefore it is up to you to maintain your results.
Is lipo cavitation safe?
Lipo cavitation is a safe, non invasive body contouring method. In lipo cavitation the ultrasound frequency is specifically calibrated to only target fat cells, meaning reduction in size without adverse effects.
Some mild temporary side effects may include temporary redness, thirst, nausea, temporary post-workout like soreness (drinking lots of water can greatly reduce side effects).
How many treatments are necessary?
This depends on the individual with anywhere from 3-10 sessions depending on your body type, metabolism and goals. We recommend having a treatment every 4-5 days for best results, with no more than a week between appointments.
Does lipo cavitation work for weight loss?
Lipo cavitation is not meant for weight loss, but for body “reshaping” or contouring. Lipo cavitation works best at reducing localized and disproportionate areas of fat that are resistant to exercise on areas such as abdomen, love handles, thighs (saddle bags) and back (bra rolls).
