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. 

Here are a few things you can do at home to ensure you are getting the best possible results from our treatments.

It is strongly recommended that you detox your body for 3 consecutive days before your scheduled treatment session. 

I do have a product I highly recommend and you will absolutely love, just DO NOT fast. Lemon water is good for detoxing the liver.

• Avoid eating 1hr. after each treatment session

• NO heavy meals on the day of your treatment

• NO alcohol for 72hrs after each session

• NO junk food. Strictly limit alcohol, carbonated drinks, caffeine, pre workouts, sugars, saturated/trans fats, and carbohydrates during the course of your program you have committed to with your Body Contourist

• Avoid fasting. Eat clean and healthy , but do not fast. Fasting may encourage your body to become more resistant to the release of stored fat. If you are unsure on what foods to eat, for an additional cost I can provide you with a meal plan.

• DO increase water intake. This is ESSENTIAL! You Must drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day (mineral water is recommended before treatments and after treatments) for the next 72hrs.

• NO sauna, tanning and avoid direct exposure to the sun during the course of your program

• NO hot showers. Only cool/lukewarm showers or baths because your skin will still be healing from the extreme heat and could feel raw or sunburned (some redness or soreness is normal)

• DO exercise. Within 3 hours following treatment, you must engage in 30 minutes of light cardio exercise. (This could also be replaced with 10 mins. of vibration therapy). This could be going to the gym, cleaning the house, or dancing. We need you to elevate your heart rate!

• DO try to give yourself a lymphatic massage or dry brushing techniques, a few times throughout the week (I will show you how). 5-10 minutes each time is all that’s needed

• Wear shape wear 4-8 hours each day throughout the course of your program to encourage lifting, tightening, and contouring

Since we offer a variety of treatments from head to toe, not only do I make sure my clients look and feel their best, but my top priority and responsibility is my clients' health and safety while in my care. We took intensive training with Rejuvenate, for Infection Prevention and Control to properly carry out disinfection practices that keep clients and staff safe from germs and infection.

Between 6 and 12 sessions may be required. depending on the area being treated and your desired goals. It is also recommended to perform ongoing maintenance treatments to maintain your results if you do not practice clean eating and exercise which is encouraged before and after treatments. 6 is the recommended number of sessions to achieve optimal results. Obviously if you are starting off at a heavier weight you would need more sessions.

Fat reduction (Cavitation) does not affect the blood vessels, nerves or connective tissue so these treatments are completely safe with limited side effects. It is possible to experience redness, swelling, bruising or welting to the area that is being treated. Urinating right after or excessive thirst and nausea immediately after treatment but will shortly disappear by drinking water.
