Body Contouring Lipo Fat Reduction Cavitation also known as Ultrasound Cavitation. Ultrasonic Cavitation is FDA approved, a revolutionary way to reduce stubborn fat by breaking down fat cells, thus contouring the body. It is a safe, non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that removes fat and breaks down cellulite.
Whether you want to remove fat from your belly, arms, thighs, back or even your chin. There is no down time and results are usually permanent when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Lipo Fat Reduction Cavitation works by using ultrasound frequencies that cause thousands of microscopic air bubbles to surround the fat cell membranes and with vibration, the bubbles create enough pressure to cause the fat cells to break up instantly. The contents of the broken fat cells are then moved through the lymphatic system to the liver and are safely metabolized and excreted from the body through your urinary system resulting in immediate measurable inch loss to the treatment area.
Lipo Cavitation Benefits: Volume reduction of fatty layers.Body shaping and contouring.Skin lifting, tightening and toning.Cellulite reduction.

In order to maintain our high standards of results, we need a little help from you, our clients, to help work with the treatments, not against them.
