TL;DR:
- Cavitation liposuction (ultrasonic liposuction) is a non-invasive procedure using ultrasound to break down fat cells without surgery, pain, or recovery time.
- Suitable for shaping hard-to-model areas (abdomen, thighs, arms, etc.), reducing cellulite, and improving skin tone and circulation but not for permanent weight loss.
- Procedure involves infrared (IR) heating to liquefy fat followed by ultrasound to rupture fat cells, which are then metabolized by the liver.
- Effects are visible after 1 session but typically require 6-10 treatments. Costs range from PLN 70-150/session or PLN 600-1,300 for a package.
- Contraindications include pregnancy, heart devices, certain medical conditions, and areas like the face, groin, and head.
- Maintaining results requires a healthy lifestyle.
A beautiful and slender figure is the dream of many women. Certainly, more than one of us has followed at least a few different diets, which may have produced some results, but did not manage to maintain them for long. Everyone's body is different, so regular exercise that works for others and a regular, healthy and well-balanced diet are not always able to help. Fortunately, with help comes cavitation liposuction – a non-invasive, effective and relatively inexpensive way to achieve the figure of your dreams!
For whom is cavitation liposuction the ideal procedure?
Any person who dreams of a beautiful figure and shedding strenuous excess pounds in the diets, treatments and cures used, puts not only a lot of physical effort, time and money, but also emotions. Trying to follow the assumptions and rules of the respective weight loss plans, we always put our hope in the expected result. Unfortunately, most of the time it doesn't work out, and we lose the will to continue. It doesn't have to be this way! Whether we are struggling with a lot of excess weight or just a few pounds in a specific and difficult to model area, cavitation liposuction makes it possible to achieve the expected effect thanks to the use of modern technologies in the field of aesthetic medicine. The biggest advantage of this procedure is the combination of a distinctive and effective method of liposuction and its non-invasive and painless performance. This, among other reasons, is why many people have so far refrained from deciding on a radical (but effective!) procedure using liposuction fat extraction method. By combining it with cavitation, there is no need to worry about the effects of surgical interference, soreness or convalescence.
What is cavitation liposuction and how does it differ from traditional liposuction?
Cavitation liposuction is otherwise known as ultrasonic liposuction. It is a slimming procedure that involves rupturing the cell membranes of the cells that make up fatty tissue by applying ultrasonic waves to the area. It is an innovative form of liposuction that, unlike traditional liposuction, does not involve making incisions in the skin and inserting specially adapted needles through them to suction out excessive fat. With cavitation liposuction, it is quite different. Thanks to the fact that the action does not require a scalpel and therefore also a long healing of wounds after the interference, right after the procedure is performed you can return to carrying out daily activities and duties.
What does ultrasonic liposuction consist of?
Cavitation liposuction uses the action of low-frequency ultrasound in its procedure. The deep layers of tissue are massaged, resulting in a significant improvement in lymph flow, circulatory function and cellular metabolism. In addition, the heat that is generated during the procedure has an extremely relaxing effect on the muscles, while anesthetizing the skin. This is an excellent opportunity to nourish the skin and nurture it, as warmed tissues are much more likely to absorb various substances. Therefore, during cavitation liposuction, specially selected vitamin, nutritional and cosmetic preparations are applied to the patient's individual needs.
How does cavitation liposuction proceed?
Cavitation liposuction involves two stages carried out by a qualified specialist. The first is to properly prepare the fatty tissue for the proper action. This involves the use of infrared (IR) radiation. With its help, a particular area of the body is heated up using a special head. The radiation reaches the deep layers of fat tissue and causes it to liquefy. In this way, the fat cells become receptive to the entire treatment. In the second stage, the given body area is subjected to ultrasound. An appropriately selected ultrasound wave ruptures the heated cells, thanks to which fat and triglycerides are released from them. These, in turn, are transported with the help of the lymphatic and vascular systems directly to the liver, where their metabolism takes place. This happens on a similar basis to the metabolism of fat supplied on a daily basis with food. As a result of this process, excess fat is excreted from the body. The entire cavitation liposuction procedure performed on one area of the body takes 20 to 30 minutes.
How many cavitation liposuction treatments will produce the desired effect?
As with any procedure, the question of the number of treatments needed with ultrasound liposuction is individual. For most people, the first results are visible after the first time. However, in order to get rid of unnecessary fat in an effective and satisfactory manner, a series of treatments is usually needed. Their number also depends on the selected body area. However, it varies between 6 and 10 treatments, which should be performed regularly. In the initial phase of the cavitation liposuction series, treatments are performed weekly. Thereafter, to consolidate the effects, at least once a month. It should be remembered that neither cavitation liposuction nor any other weight loss procedure guarantees a slim figure forever. Maintaining the effect achieved by liposuction requires adherence to a healthy diet, exercising regularly and drinking plenty of water. Developing such habits will not only allow you to enjoy a slender silhouette for a long time, but will also contribute to the proper functioning of the body, good condition of hair, skin, nails and better daily well-being.
Indications for cavitation liposuction – not just fat!
With cavitation liposuction, you can get rid of excessive fat from various areas of the body. These include the buttocks, legs, thighs, abdomen, but also smaller areas of the body, such as the middle part of the knees and thighs, ankles, arms or the lumbosacral region of the back, where the so-called "sideburns" form. In addition, ultrasonic liposuction is recommended for cellulite. The warming effect, combined with the breakdown of fat cells, promotes smoothing and firming of the skin, which is particularly important in the case of thighs. The ability to deliver nutrients and vitamins deep into the skin also helps to remedy unfavorable skin tone or the presence of so-called spider veins. Many of the substances and compounds applied during the treatment also have a firming, tightening, smoothing effect and visibly rejuvenate the skin in the treatment area.
Who can't benefit from cavitation liposuction? Contraindications
As with many other aesthetic medicine procedures, cavitation liposuction cannot be performed on pregnant, lactating and menstruating women. Osteoporosis, circulatory insufficiency, liver failure, blood clotting disorders, thrombophlebitis, various skin diseases, skin lesions (e.g., eczema, hard-to-heal wounds, fresh scars), pacemaker or heart valve, and the presence of implants and other metal objects are also contraindications to the procedure. Diabetics, epileptics, multiple sclerosis patients and those with a history of cancer up to five years after recovery are also not eligible for ultrasound liposuction. Excluded from the areas where cavitation liposuction is performed are the genital area, groin, armpits, knee bends, neck, face, head, hands and feet.
Before and after the procedure – what to keep in mind?
The cavitation liposuction procedure does not require any special preparations. About two weeks before it, you should not take medications that can reduce blood clotting. These include substances such as heparin and acetylsalicylic acid, for example. Performing the procedure also does not require any convalescence. However, you should remember, especially between treatments in a series, to follow dietary recommendations and drink plenty of water (at least 1.5 liters a day). This will improve the excretion of fats from the liver, support its work and achieve better results.
Effects of cavitation liposuction
Cavitation liposuction allows you to get rid of excess fat from areas that are difficult to model while dieting. It's also an opportunity for people who, due to various medical conditions, cannot lose weight or find it particularly difficult, such as in the case of thyroid disease. One of the most appreciated and satisfactory effects of ultrasonic liposuction is the absence of the stubborn yo-yo effect – a very common problem with weight loss diets. Thus, thanks to the liposuction procedure, it is possible to reduce body fat, model the figure, stimulate circulation and metabolic processes, firm and nourish the skin and visibly reduce cellulite.
How much does cavitation liposuction cost?
The cost of a single treatment, depending on the location and extent of the area, usually ranges between PLN 70 and PLN 150. However, several treatments are recommended for this type of weight loss therapy. Therefore, most facilities performing cavitation liposuction offer very favorable prices for the entire series. Thus, for several treatments in a package, which give visible and satisfactory results, you have to pay an amount fitting the service. Thus, it is incomparably the most favorable option for slimming and body contouring, especially since it does not require convalescence and is painless.
Conclusion
Cavitation liposuction is a game-changer for non-invasive fat reduction and body shaping. Unlike traditional methods, it offers a painless, quick, and effective solution without long recovery. From improving circulation to reducing cellulite, the benefits go beyond fat loss. While results can be visible early, regular sessions and a healthy lifestyle are essential to maintain success. If diets and exercise haven’t given you the desired outcomes, this modern approach provides an accessible alternative to achieving a more confident, balanced figure. Investing in cavitation liposuction could be the step toward long-lasting physical and emotional wellness.
