Ultrasonic cavitation is quite different from cryolipolysis in which the fat reduction method involves the application of ultrasound and low-frequency sound waves to achieve its effect. This serves as an effective method in treating cellulite, more widespread fat and cavitation achieves body contouring results. In contrast, cryolipolysis operates with controlled low temperatures on the area of concern and is far more suitable and effective in treating more specific fat accumulation and fat pockets that can be grabbed.
Each cavitation fat treatment session lasts approximately 40 minutes to 1 hour and treatments with a day period between each session are recommended for optimal results removal of up to 12cm of fat.
These results vary from person to person and patients often see a big difference in the reduction of fat within weeks. Cryolipolysis, on the other hand, is a once off, minute to 1 hour treatment that can take weeks to see full results. A more effective outcome can be combined with dietary factors as well.
However, the results of cryolipolysis are more stable and long term compared to cavitation. Cavitation requires a greater number of treatment sessions to achieve similar effects. Is lipo cavitation safe? Yes, and so is cavitation.
Both procedures are pain-free with very few risks. Cavitation is administered with the use of an ultrasound device and a paddle type applicator. One of the main differences from ultrasonic cavitation is that CoolSculpting is based on cryolipolysis — using cold temperatures to freeze and eliminate the fat cells.
This procedure is mostly used to treat areas that have been unresponsive to diet and exercise; those areas of stubborn fat! CoolSculpting can be used for different problem areas of the body — love handles, submental area, inner and outer thighs, tummy and upper arms. Results are typically seen after months as your body is working to eliminate the targeted fat cells.
The number of sessions vary from person to person and of course it also depends on the specific type of goal the patient is looking for. Always try and maintain a balanced diet, regardless of what type of fat freezing or fat reduction treatment you plan on doing. Is there anything I should do before my appointment? First Name.

Another small study done much earlier in followed 30 individuals who were all given ultrasonic cavitation body contouring treatment.
Participants all saw a reduction in body fat mass after three treatments. The treated body fat area was reduced in size by one to three centimeters at the conclusion of the study. Your doctor may sterilize the area of your treatment using alcohol. 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.
Ultrasonic cavitation is considered a low-risk treatment for most people. Common side effects include:. Lumps, bumps, and valleys on your skin can appear after ultrasonic cavitation treatment.
Pain and bruising are usually minimal. Right after your appointment, your body might feel puffy or swollen. 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 1 to 3 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. To prepare for your appointment, your provider will give you detailed instructions, which you should follow carefully.
