Ultrasound cavitation is a type of non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to target fat cells, aiming to improve the appearance of cellulite and reduce body measurements. Here's a general idea of how it works:
Targeting Fat Cells: During an ultrasound cavitation procedure, a handheld device that emits ultrasound waves is moved across the skin surface of the targeted area. The ultrasound waves penetrate the skin and create pressure changes that cause fat cells to break down.
Fat Cell Destruction: The ultrasound waves specifically target fat cells, causing a vibration within the fat cell. This vibration creates bubbles in the liquid inside the cell, which gradually grow in size.
Fat Release: As these bubbles increase and the pressure rises, the fat cell eventually cannot resist the pressure and disintegrates into a liquid state. The process is known as "cavitation," hence the name of the procedure.
Elimination from the Body: The broken-down fat cells are then metabolically processed and eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system, a part of the body's immune system that helps remove waste.
Cellulite Appearance Improvement: By reducing the amount of fat in the targeted areas, the procedure can help smooth the skin's texture, thereby reducing the appearance of cellulite.
