What is Ultrasound Cavitation?

Ultrasound Cavitation is a natural phenomenon based on low-frequency ultrasound. The ultrasound field creates bubbles in the liquid that surrounds fat cells, which gradually grow and implode. Membranes of fat cells do not have the structural capacity to withstand the vibrations so the effect of cavitation easily breaks them, while sparing the vascular, nervous and muscular tissue.

What happens to the released fat?

Ultrasound cavitation causes an emulsification of the solid fat substances, releasing the triglyceride fluid, which is easy to eliminate through the urine and the lymphatic system.

After disruption and emulsification of fat cells, liquid which makes up the fat cells, in the form of triglycerides, is released into the fluid between the cells. This fluid is then metabolized. Water soluble glycerol is absorbed by the circulatory system and used as an energy source, whereas the insoluble, free fatty acids are transported to the liver and processed as fatty acids from food.

Is Ultrasound Cavitation a safe treatment?

Yes, your therapist will complete a medical questionnaire with you to ensure it is safe for you to undergo Ultrasound Cavitation. It is a non-surgical procedure without anesthesia, is non-invasive (no cutting, no scars and no post-operative care) and allows for a full social life both before and after the sessions.

How is Ultrasound Caviation different from Laser Lipo?

A major difference between Ultrasound Cavitation and Laser Lipo is that Laser Lipo simply shrinks fat cells. With the use of Ultrasound Cavitation, we safely damage and remove the fat cells through the body’s natural metabolic process. Clients are less likely to regain weight lost because the body has to make new fat cells to replace the ones destroyed and removed.

Are there any guidelines before or after undergoing Ultrasound Cavitation?

You should follow a low-fat/low-carbohydrate diet and drink at least 2 liters of water 24-hours before your treatment. For 3 days following your treatment, you should continue drinking 2-3 liters of water per day. Water helps minimize headaches that can be a result of the lymphatic flushing process. To maximize the effectiveness of your treatment, it is best to restrict products that impact lymphatic flow (i.e. caffeine and sugar in large amounts) during the process. You should consume NO alcohol for 24 hours prior to and following your treatment.

Exercise is recommended to stimulate lymphatic flow. This includes activities such as swimming, jogging, brisk walking and low-impact work-outs during this process. Avoid vigorous weight lifting as it can create lactic acid. Also, lymphatic massage and detoxification can help to optimize and enhance the process. Lymphatic massage helps facilitate the removal and release of toxins and fat as you go through the Ultrasound process.

How many treatments will I need to see results?

You will notice results after the first treatment, but 3 to 6 treatments are recommended for each problem area. Each person’s body responds differently to the treatment.

How long is a treatment and what does it feel like?

The entire session normally takes between 40 to 60 minutes, which includes before and after photographs, measuring and discussing the area of treatment. The actual treatment lasts 30-45, depending on the size of the area and the thickness of the fat layer. Most clients consider the treatment quite relaxing and comfortable. There may be, however, a slight discomfort due to a specific noise spreading inside your body during your treatment. The sound poses absolutely no risk or harm and disappears as soon as you are not in contact with the applicator. This sound allows you to know that the process is working.

Why doesn’t Sleek Reflections advertise discounted programs?

All of your Ultrasound Cavitation treatments will begin with a one-on-one conversation with your BSE Certified and Trained Technician to discuss your concerns and body sculpting goals. Don’t be fooled by “Special Pricing”, “Initial Visit Discounts” or “Group deals”. These treatments are usually less expensive because the time you spend being treated is significantly shorter. To obtain your desired results, you are forced into additional sessions. Why put your body and health in the hands of non-BSE trained individuals, when you can have “King Protocols” followed ensure you get optimal results.
