The results may vary with different tissue structures, treatment areas, age, metabolism, medications, and changes in hormones.

They are all short-term effects that will disappear shortly.

DO I NEED TO FOLLOW ANY GUIDELINES BEFORE OR AFTER UNDERGOING ULTRASOUND FAT CAVITATION AND RF?
Try to avoid doing anything that will irritate your skin immediately before treatment. This includes tanning (natural or artificial). It would be more likely to suffer pain from the addition of heat to the already damaged skin; however, an established tan would be fine. Do not have a hot shower, bath, or sauna right after the Ultrasound treatment. We recommend a low-calorie diet with protein in each meal and drinking at least a glass of warm water (not carbonated, sparkling water, pop, or coffee) before and after the session. Drinking plenty of water and having exercise such as brisk walking, biking, or other aerobic activities for at least 3 days after the treatment to stimulate the lymphatic activity as the elimination of the fat continues through the Lymphatic System for 72 hours. Follow by a suitable exercise routine. Cavitation will be best performed under high hydration conditions, avoid taking any caffeine or diuretics 2 days before therapy. Drinking a lot of water will help to improve your metabolism and increase urine output -- lipid metabolites release out of your body. A lymph-draining massage is also encouraged to improve the circulation and lymphatic system, which helps to drain fluids. For best results, you should refrain from any alcohol consumption for 48 hours after the treatment. Alcohol consumption during this period may prevent your liver from removing the deactivated fat cells from your body (as the liver will assign priority to remove the alcohol from your blood). Maintaining an un-stressful lifestyle also helps the body flush out the fat more efficiently.
HOW MANY TIMES AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE THE TREATMENTS?
Ultrasound Cavitation: 6-10 sessions spaced 3 days apart for the first 3 sessions, then once a week. Skin Tightening: 6-10 sessions spaced 3 days apart for the first 3 sessions, then once a week. After the initial treatments are completed, maintenance treatments consist of one session each month for 4 months followed by one treatment every 4 months.
HOW IS THE FAT ELIMINATED FROM THE BODY?
Ultrasound cavitation causes an emulsification of fat, it ruptures the fat cell membrane, thereby releasing its fat content, converting it into a substance easy to eliminate through the sweat gland, liver sausage circulation, and the lymphatic system, which is eventually eliminated through urine
CAN ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION LOSE WEIGHT?
Cavitation is not a method to lose weight but to reshape the body. It is particularly indicated for the reduction of adiposity like the famous “love handles”, and “mummy tummy”. Ultrasonic cavitation can be considered a deep fat blaster that reduces stubborn fat cells that cannot be removed with exercise and diet alone.
