FAQ

How soon can I see a result of cavitation?

Most clients will have a noticeable reduction in their measurements after the very first treatment some have lost more than 5 inches after their 2nd treatment, and on average people lose around 2 or more inches. The process of fat removal continues for up to 7 days after each treatment so it isn’t unusual to see a further decrease a day or two after your initial treatment.

Can I lose weight with Ultrasound Cavitation?

Ultrasonic Cavitation is not a method of weight loss. It is designed to reshape and sculpt the body and remove localized stubborn fat or cellulite. Ultrasonic Cavitation treatments work best when combined with a low fat and low carbohydrate diet and regular exercise and these will help you to lose weight.

How many treatments can I have?

We recommend you have a course of 3 and a maximum of 12 treatments before having a break of 4 weeks to allow your body to recover. You should allow 72 hours between treatments.

Is the fat reduction permanent?

Yes, the fat cells are fractured, broken down, and drained away through the liver and passed as waste from the body.   Note: It is imperative you follow your post-care recommendations to eliminate the fat that is now liquid in your system so it does not resettle into your remaining fat cells.  We have to get rid of it. 

How long is a treatment?

Each service is tailored to the individual but generally, you can expect to be with us between 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes. 

How long should I wait after childbirth to have cavitation treatments?

You must wait for a minimum of 3 months after a normal birth of your baby or a minimum of 6 months after a C section. It is best to get GP approval post-childbirth prior to commencing Ultrasonic Cavitation.   

Do I have to rest afterwards?

No, the great thing about this treatment is that you can go about your day as normal. We strongly advise you to increase your water intake to at least 2 liters of water a day to help with fat removal. 

What would happen if I had cavitation during my period?

Ultrasound increases blood flow and you may feel uncomfortable. 

Is there an age limit?

Yes, it is our policy to not provide this service to anyone under the age of 18.

Can I have more than one area treated if I pay?

Following the treatment, the body has to work to remove the excess fat that is now passing through the lymphatic system to the liver. For this reason, treating multiple areas is not advisable and may not be effective. We follow the rule of no more than 30 minutes of Ultrasonic Cavitation every 72 hours. Those 30 minutes however, can be split between opposite sides of the body, i.e. 15 minutes on the left thigh and 15 minutes on the right thigh.

What if I don’t see results straight away?

It is important to remember that everyone is different and your body will work according to your unique metabolism. You will see a reduction during a course of treatments which is why we recommend a course of 3 or more to get great results. 

What can I do at home to help with treatments?

Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol after your service. Try to increase your heart rate by taking some exercise for the best results, even by doing some household chores, or taking a brisk walk, avoid too many carbohydrates and try to follow a reasonable diet with lower fats.
