Body Sculpting FAQs

 Body Sculpting Treatments destroy fat cells without invasive surgery, reshaping just about any problem area. Your body then disposes of the fat cells through the lymphatic system. 

We offer three different "modalities," Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation, Vacuum Liposuction, and Radio-Frequency Skin Tightening. These can be performed separately or in combination for maximum results, depending upon what area is being treated.

Also known as Body Cavitation, it is an effective & non-invasive method which tightens, tones and lifts  parts of the  body when exercise or diet do not help. Think “problem areas”. Body Cavitation is also one of the best way to treat stubborn cellulite.  

By what other names are Ultrasonic Cavitation referred to?

Ultrasound Cavitation; Cavitation; Ultra Cavitation; Body Contouring; Body Sculpting.

Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation 

 Can be used on virtually any area of  where you're carrying extra weight.  Using low-level  frequency  ultrasonic  sound waves to break fat  cells (ie; fat deposits) and reduce cellulite.  

Vacuum Liposuction

Is a method of liposuction, but with no surgery, no anesthesia, no hospital stay, no time off from work and no recovery time.  Unlike conventional liposuction,  the idea of "laser lipo" is not to remove fat cells—it's to shrink them. 

Radio Frequency Skin Tightening

Is a non-invasive treatment directed through a wand which is rested onto the skin. Heated radio waves are directed at the deeper layers of skin prompting collagen production resulting in tighter, more youthful looking skin.

What are the benefits of Facial + Body Sculpting?

• Treatment of targeted areas
• Pain-free with no downtime
• Non-invasive alternative to Liposuction
• Improves circulation
• Promotes cell turnover & collagen production, improving appearance of skin
• Lifts and defines treated areas
• Targets stubborn cellulite

Am I a Good Candidate for Body Contouring?

 The best candidate for these treatments is someone who is exercising and eating a proper diet but is still having problem areas. A skinny, fit person can still have cellulite and might not be able to get rid of a trouble-spot on their own, no matter how much they diet and exercise. 

What body parts can be treated?

Our modalities can be preformed on virtually any area you can imagine. Here are a few of the more popular areas:

• Arms
• Abdomen
• Chest
• Buttocks
• Thighs
• Back
• Love handles
• Chin

How soon will I see results?

Gradual improvement of the treated area may be seen following the first treatment. The skin’s surface may feel smoother, firmer and tighter. Results in circumference and cellulite reduction are most apparent 5-7 days after each treatment. Remember this is a process; you will need to be patient with your body and allow time to reveal your new shape. 

How many inches can I reduce from my circumference?
In clinical studies, patients report an average of 1-inch post treatment. In clinical trials, the average ranges from 0.5 – 3 inches. 

Are the results of ultrasonic cavitation similar to liposuction?  

The ultrasonic cavitation can be considered as a treatment alternative to surgical liposuction. Both treatments are designed to reduce fatty tissues. However, Liposuction is ‘invasive’ while Ultrasonic Cavitation is non-invasive 

Which is better, ultrasonic cavitation or CoolSculpting?

Although CoolSculpting was a more recognized name, Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation is clearly the better option. We've helped our clients achieve their desired results in only a few treatments with little to no downtime.

How many sessions will I need?

As mentioned above, clients do see results after one session however for optimum results multiple sessions, usually 6-9, and sometimes up to 12, is recommended. Your technician will recommend the appropriate package to help you attain your goal.

Do results last?

After your recommended number of sessions to reach your desired goal, we do recommend maintenance sessions after 4-6 months, along with proper diet (reduce sugar, salt, carbs, and alcohol) and exercise to maintain results. A week prior, and following, all of your treatments, it is important to consume about 64 ounces of water per day in order to facilitate draining of the lymphatic system. 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on a daily basis is also necessary.

How long do treaments take?

Depending on your area of concern and which modality(ies) used, individual body area sessions can range from 15-45 minutes.

How often do I need to be treated?

Optimum results are best achieved if treatments are done no less than 72 hours apart, and no more than one week apart.

Can It Help Me Lose Weight?
While removing fat will result in you weighing less, body sculpting is not a weight loss procedure. It’s no substitute for a healthy lifestyle and in order to get the best results, you should already be at or near your ideal weight. 

Do The Results Look Natural?
All you’re doing is (non-surgically) removing fat cells. The results you see are all-natural and 100% you. That also means that you need to be realistic about your results. Body contouring can help you bring out your ideal natural physique, but it won’t completely change your body. 

Are Body Sculpting Treatments safe? 

Ultrasound Cavitation is absolutely safe.  While it has only recently been introduced in the U.S., this procedure has been in use all over the world since 2005 and well over 100,000 people have been safely and successfully treated with ultrasonic cavitation in over 50  countries over the past 9 years. 

Can cavitation damage organs?

Ultrasonic Cavitation destroys intractable fat cells by using low frequency sound waves. What is Ultrasonic? A MHz or Megahertz is 1,000,000 hertz and a rating of 40 KHz to 5 MHz is used in an ultrasonic treatment. This type of sound wave can destroy the fat cells without causing damage to any other tissues or organs.

What are some of the negative side effects of Body Sculpting?

Ultrasonic Cavitation may lead to some temporary redness around the treated area. But, it will subside and may take 4-5 hours to normalize. There is nothing to worry about if you experience redness after the treatment it is timely and will become normal without any medication.

Sometimes skin reacts differently to the treatment which can either result in mild bruising. However, ultrasonic cavitation is a painless treatment and does not require any type of anesthesia. It works with low-frequency sound waves but still it disturbs the epidermis layer of the skin and targets fatty cells. This disturbance might cause mild bruising to the treated area, which can fade away in a few hours or can take 24 to 72 hours means a day or two.

During the Body Sculpting process, a gel is applied to the area to be treated, and with a handheld ultrasound device, low-frequency sound waves being transferred to the layer of the skin to lose fat cells. This gel or the sound waves can make the skin sensitive for some time. It can show itching, swelling, or little bumps around the treated area. 

What are the medical contraindications of Body Sculpting?

• Pregnant or lactating women, as well as epileptic individuals, should refrain from undertaking this procedure. 
• Individuals with conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer should not use Ultra cavitation treatment.
