Ultrasonic cavitation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure used to reduce localized fat deposits and contour the body. Here’s how it works:
How Ultrasonic Cavitation Works:
-
Ultrasonic Waves:
- The procedure uses a specialized device that emits low-frequency ultrasonic waves.
- These waves are applied to the skin over the targeted fat areas using a handheld applicator.
-
Formation of Bubbles:
- The ultrasonic waves create microscopic bubbles in the fat tissue through a process called cavitation.
- These bubbles form and collapse rapidly, causing the fat cells to break apart.
-
Disruption of Fat Cells:
- The energy from the ultrasonic waves disrupts the membranes of the fat cells, causing them to release their stored fatty acids and triglycerides.
- The fat cells become unstable and eventually break down.
-
Elimination of Fat:
- The body’s lymphatic system processes and eliminates the released fatty acids and triglycerides.
- The fat is metabolized and excreted naturally over the following weeks through the liver and kidneys.
