Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE?
Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic technique designed to promote the natural movement of lymph fluid throughout the body's lymphatic system. This system plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, immune function, and waste removal within the body. Unlike the circulatory system, which has the heart to pump blood, the lymphatic system relies on other mechanisms to facilitate the movement of lymph fluid.
WHAT IS THE ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION TREATMENT LIKE?
The procedure involves circumference measurement, direct application of the ultrasonic device with gel, circular movements over the skin, utilization of a Radio Frequency hand piece for Combo sessions, and concludes with another circumference measurement. Sessions typically last around 30 minutes, with noticeable results sometimes after the first treatment and full results after 6-10 sessions at 3-day intervals.
HOW DOES IT FEEL DURING THE ULTRASONIC OR RF TREATMENT?
Most people find the treatment painless and comfortable. Some may experience slight discomfort due to internal noise, which dissipates once the applicator is moved. Warmth may also be felt during the treatment, and extra ultrasound gel can be applied if it becomes too warm.
WHAT CAN BE TREATED WITH RADIO FREQUENCY(RF)?
RF effectively improves skin tightness, reduces wrinkles and cellulite, and enhances the overall condition of areas such as the face, chin, upper arm, abdomen, thighs, bra line, or buttocks.
WHO CAN HAVE ULTRASOUND AND RF TREATMENTS?
Generally healthy individuals are suitable candidates. Those with certain health conditions such as cardiac issues, diabetes, acute illness, compromised liver function, severe bleeding tendencies, pacemakers, or pregnancy and breastfeeding should avoid the procedure.
IS ULTRASOUND CAVITATION & RF PAINFUL?
Both treatments are generally painless, with any discomfort being mild and transient. The heat from the hand pieces is typically tolerable.
IS ULTRASOUND CAVITATION & RF SAFE? ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Ultrasound Cavitation and RF are safe and nonsurgical, with no downtime. Some may experience temporary effects like redness, thirst, or nausea, which typically resolve quickly.
WHAT CAN ONE EXPECT FROM THE RESULTS?
Results are immediate and long-lasting, with noticeable circumference reduction often seen after a single session. Results vary depending on various factors such as tissue structure, age, and lifestyle habits.
WHICH AREAS ARE SUITABLE FOR THE TREATMENT?
Areas with localized fat deposits, such as thighs, abdomen, arms, and buttocks, are ideal. However, there are no strict limitations on treatment areas.
CAN ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION LOSE WEIGHT?
Cavitation reshapes the body but is not a weight loss method. It targets stubborn fat cells that may not respond to diet and exercise alone.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION AND LIPOSUCTION?
Both procedures achieve similar results in fat removal but differ in invasiveness and cost. Cavitation is painless and less expensive compared to liposuction.
HOW IS THE FAT ELIMINATED FROM THE BODY?
Ultrasound cavitation emulsifies fat cells, releasing their contents to be eliminated through the body's natural processes, including sweat glands, liver, and lymphatic system.
DO I NEED TO FOLLOW ANY GUIDELINES BEFORE OR AFTER UNDERGOING ULTRASOUND FAT CAVITATION AND RF?
Before treatment, avoid skin irritants like tanning and ensure hydration. After treatment, maintain hydration, follow a low-calorie diet with protein, and engage in light exercise to aid fat elimination. Avoid alcohol consumption and maintain a stress-free lifestyle for optimal results.
HOW MANY TIMES AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE THE TREATMENTS?
For Ultrasound Cavitation, 2-4 sessions spaced 3 days apart initially, then once a week for sessions 5-8 and bi-weekly for sessions 9-12. For RF, a similar schedule is recommended for optimal results, varying based on individual factors.
WHAT IS VACUUM THERAPY?
Vacuum Therapy is great as a stand-alone treatment for cellulite and for reducing small deposits of fat. The treatment leaves your skin immediately smoother and firmer. Vacuum Therapy is the number one body contouring accelerator.
