Ultrasonic Cavitation
Ultrasound Cavitation, commonly referred to as non-invasive liposuction, is an innovative and safe noninvasive technique for eliminating stubborn fat cells and improving cellulite appearance. Utilizing ultrasound waves that heat and vibrate subcutaneous fat layers, Ultrasound Cavitation causes them to liquify and break apart before being naturally eliminated by your body via waste elimination systems.
Ultrasound cavitation is an innocuous, painless procedure with no downtime or recovery period required after each session. As well as diminishing cellulite appearance and fat deposits, ultrasound cavitation also tightens skin elasticity, tightens wrinkles and can even tighten muscle bands! For optimal results a series of six to 12 treatments with at least 72 hours between each one is advised for maximum efficacy.
Before your first appointment for ultrasound cavitation, it is important to make sure you are a suitable candidate by reviewing your health history and discussing any medications or supplements with one of our estheticians. Undergoing this treatment could be harmful if you suffer from certain medical conditions or take medications which interfere with skin or blood circulation (for instance diabetes or blood thinners).
Drink plenty of water prior and post appointment, to stay hydrated – essential for optimal function of the lymphatic system. Also avoid any foods rich in fats or sugars on treatment day.
Ultrasound Cavitation therapy treatments utilize low-level soundwaves transmitted using a handheld device that creates compression-expansion waves which produce micro-bubbles under your skin, which expand and contract, releasing their contents through colliding, collapsing, and imploding action to break down fat cell walls and release their contents, which then can be processed through natural processes and eliminated through sweat, urine or digestive channels.
SmoothShapes
SmoothShapes is an FDA-cleared noninvasive cellulite reduction solution. The device utilizes laser, LED light, massage and vacuum technology to tackle its outer dimpled appearance by targeting fat cells and brittle tissues that contribute to cellulite formation. As heat from laser and LED lights liquefies fat deposits within cells, massage action using rollerers and vacuum can move them out, encouraging lymphatic systems to flush it away resulting in regional slimming and skin tightening effects that further benefit skin appearance. Additionally SmoothShapes has proven its worth at stimulating collagen production to further enhance skin appearance further than ever before!
As part of the procedure, you’ll lie down as a technician rolls the SmoothShapes device over your body. The treatment has been described as feeling similar to receiving a warm deep tissue massage and typically lasts about an hour. No adverse side effects have been noted so far; results typically become visible gradually – many patients report looser clothing after participating in multiple Smooth Shapes treatments.
Cynosure SmoothShapes XV is an incredible noninvasive advancement in cellulite reduction and body contouring technology, targeting physical appearance of cellulite in both men and women. Combining laser energy, LED energy, vacuum manipulation, rollers and mechanical manipulation provide research proven results of improving skin tightening as a result of cellulite treatment, tightening previously dimpled skin to tighten it more effectively than before.
SmoothShapes XV is a noninvasive alternative to liposuction that is used to address stubborn pockets of fat in thighs, hips, abdomen, buttocks, arms and back. Utilizing laser and LED energy, the SmoothShapes XV breaks up fatty deposits using laser light energy which improves their texture while allowing natural elimination through natural means – as well as tightening skin around them.
SmoothShapes laser treatment differs significantly from other laser procedures in that it does not result in skin burning; many clients describe the experience as similar to having a warm massage.
SmoothShapes not only reduces cellulite’s appearance, but it can also reduce fat in thighs, hips, buttocks, arms waist neck and back as well as tighten the skin therein. If weight loss is your goal this technique may work effectively when combined with diet and exercise plans to deliver improved results.
CoolsSculpting / Fat-freezing / Fat Reduction
CoolSculpting is a noninvasive body-shaping treatment that uses cold temperatures to target and freeze unwanted fat cells, eliminating them noninvasively in just an hour at your doctor’s office. CoolSculpting works via cryolipolysis; an application which uses cooling devices to expose targeted areas to freezing temperatures until fat cells in that region have been destroyed while other tissues (skin and muscle) remain undamaged.
Your lymphatic system then flushes away dead cells, leaving your figure leaner and more contoured. The procedure is safe, painless, and effective for most patients – making CoolSculpting an excellent alternative to liposuction. FDA clearance has allowed this procedure to treat fat on stomach, thighs, love handles (the “banana rolls” on either side of buttocks), lower back fat, upper arms and under the chin/jawline areas.
Malachowski and Poblante both agree that CoolSculpting can produce tangible results, but it is crucial for patients to understand exactly what to expect before beginning treatment. They both noted that results will likely appear gradually over time; patients must remain faithful with their treatments in order to see results over time.
Poblante also noted the cost of CoolSculpting procedures can be prohibitively expensive since most insurance plans don’t cover them; costs vary based on size of area treated and can add up quickly; it is therefore crucial that those considering CoolSculpting seek an honest evaluation from a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist prior to making any decisions or commitments.
During the procedure, a special applicator is applied directly over the target area and then suctioned like a vacuum while applying cooling energy to sucke up tissue in an almost vacuum-like fashion. When all fat cells have been frozen off, your lymphatic system takes over to flush them away naturally – the entire treatment takes only 35 minutes and you can return immediately back to work or other activities afterwards.
CoolSculpting’s manufacturer recently unveiled an upgraded version called CoolAdvantage designed to maximize treatment efficacy and help enhance effectiveness. This applicator aims to better target areas such as stomach fat, thighs fat, neck/chin fat reduction as well as bra fat removal and underarm fat.
