Frequently Asked Questions –Ultrasonic Cavitation
Q. Does the treatment offer rupture or shrink fat cells?
A. Our ultrasonic cavitation treatments mechanically rupture fat cells using a non-invasive process called cavitation which is substantiated by medical trails undertaken and documented. Please be aware other clinics may only offer shrinkage of fat cells which is a short term fix as when you consume more calories than your body needs the fat cells can and will fill up again.
Q. Is the equipment used medically certified?
A. Yes, our equipment is medically certified to ensure the full safety of our clients and our technicians.
Q. Are the technicians fully trained?
A. Our technicians are fully trained, competent and confident providing all our treatments.
Q. Do your technicians provide a consultation before treatment begins and explain the process or processes involved?
A. An in-depth consultation is a crucial part of our treatments. It not only determines whether the client is able to undertake treatments available, it also allows the technician to fully understand what the client’s expectations are. After assessing area or areas to be treated the technician can determine what the client can realistically hope to achieve and will also explain what happens before during and after the treatments.
Q. Do the treatments come with after care advice?
A. Our treatments come with comprehensive after care advice. It is essential to follow the advice as this will ensure, (alongside complimentary therapies offered) that the client achieves maximum results.
Q. Who can have ultrasonic cavitation treatments and what can they expect to achieve?
A. Ultrasonic cavitation treatments are for both men and women who want to slim down stubborn areas of their body that can’t be achieved through diet and exercise alone. Results can often be seen immediately after the clients first session and the process continues to work over a number of weeks as the body naturally clears the fatty deposits without any surgery, pain or recovery time.
Q. What happens during an ultrasonic cavitation treatment?
A. First, an in depth consultation with a qualified technician will take place during which a treatment plan will be discussed and tailored to the clients own specific needs. The technician will record all measurements required and ask the client to sit or lie down depending on what area is to be treated. The area to be treated is discreetly exposed and gel is applied. A Ultrasound Cavitation hand piece is systematically moved over the area the client wishes to contour and/or smooth. After the treatment is completed the gel will be removed and the client will be offered a low impact vibration plate session to assist lymphatic drainage. The technician will, then, re-take measurements and record results. Ultrasonic Cavitation is capable of achieving remarkable results using the cavitation treatment on its own, or combined with our radio frequency treatment which rejuvenates and tightens any loose skin. The treatment will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete.
Q. Do ultrasonic cavitation treatments hurt?
A. No, it is non- invasive and pain free. The only slight discomfort during a cavitation treatment comes from sometimes hearing a high pitched sound, which is simply the ultrasound waves resonating in the clients ears and the ultrasound heads can sometimes become warm but never unbearably so.
Q. How effective are the ultrasonic cavitation treatments?
A. Ultrasound cavitation can produce immediate inch loss after only one session. Treatment results can depend on various factors. For example, tissue structure, treatment area, age, metabolism, medications, changes in hormones, lifestyle and overall health. Results will vary from client to client.
Q. Is the fat loss permanent?
A. Essentially yes but it is always advisable to continue with a healthy diet and fitness regime.
Q. I have high cholesterol; can I have ultrasonic cavitation treatment?
A. Yes. The fats released into the lymphatic system are triglycerides.
Q. Can I have ultrasonic cavitation treatment if I have metal tooth peg implants?
A. Yes, but the metal peg may create a vibration from the ultrasound waves, it’s best to start slowly and see if it causes too much vibration.

Frequently Asked Questions - Combined Ultrasonic Cavitation and Radio Frequency
Q. Who can have combined ultrasonic cavitation and radio frequency treatments and what can you expect to achieve?
A. Combined ultrasonic cavitation and radio frequency treatments are perfect for both men and women who want to slim down and tighten up stubborn areas of their body that can’t be achieved through diet and exercise alone. Results can often be seen immediately after the client finishes their first session and the process continues to work over a number of weeks as the body naturally clears the fatty deposits and skin is tightened and rejuvenated all without any surgery, pain or recovery time.

The technician will record all measurements required and ask the client to sit or lie down depending on what area is to be treated. A gel covered metal plate is place at the
bottom of the client’s back. The area to be treated is discreetly exposed and gel is applied. An Ultrasonic Cavitation, better known as, (UC), hand piece is systematically moved over the area the client wishes to contour. After the UC treatment is completed an RF hand piece is then moved over the same area to tighten/smooth skin. After both treatments are completed the client will be offered a low impact vibration plate session. The technician will then retake measurements and recorded results.
