Ultrasound Cavitation

Ultrasonic Cavitation is an effective non-invasive method to breakdown fat deposits and reduces cellulite. When exercising or diet does not help, ultrasonic cavitation is the best way to solve cellulite problem.

Ultrasonic Cavitation is a new technology that is using narrow frequency ultrasonic waves to breakdown unwanted fat cells. Fat cells get dissolved and absorbed to the blood stream and then excreted in your urine. Treatment starts with selected body area and is conducted in circular movement of applicator in the selected body area. Treatment duration for each target area can be anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes depending on size and thickness of the fat layer. Areas that can be treated by ultrasonic cavitation include:

  • arms- inner arm, back arm, full arm
  • abdomen- upper, lower
  • love handles
  • buttocks
  • thighs- front, back, inner, outer
  • back area- bra line, lower back
  • calves
  • ankles

  • Ultrasonic Cavitation and Liposuction work in similar way. Ultrasound field creates vibration in cells of specific type (fat cells) as result content of the cell gets hot and cell membrane brakes down. Ultrasound cavitation does not require any per-treatments and has no downtime. For best results 6-9 sessions are recommended with 1 week intervals.

    Treatment does not require anesthesia as procedure is painless for most clients. Some discomfort and temporary redness may appear for short time. Drinking regular water will eliminate any red spots in treated area.

    Benefits of Ultrasound Cellulite Removal

  • Improve blood circulation & lymphatic system
  • Promotes elastic effect to the skin texture
  • Body shaping and tightening skin

  • No surgery / No pain

    How Does Ultrasound Cavitation Work?

    A fully trained therapist will apply specially designed hand piece to your skin. The hand piece will then transmit low level ultrasonic waves which consist of compression-expansion impulses that travel in a circular motion. This motion then causes an infinite quantity of micro-cavities or micro-bubbles that gradually enlarge. This progressive enlargement finishes as micro-bubbles start to collide and implode, producing shock waves that favor emulsification and elimination of fat tissues (this phenomena is called “cavitation”). The liquid is then easily vacuumed out from the body using the lymphatic and urinary system.

    What is radiofrequency – RF?

    Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a new and promising technology for non-surgical tighten of the early signs of loose or sagging skin. RF energy alone is primarily used to treat skin laxity by tightening, and is best suited to patients with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually those in their mid-thirties to fifties, with any skin color. It is commonly used to treat the forehead, under the eyes, cheeks, mid-face, jaw line and the neck.


    How does Radiofrequency work – RF?

    The hand piece is slowly rotated over the target area transmitting radio waves through the upper layers of the skin to dermis, heating the dermis to between 40 & 50 degrees Celsius without burning the skin surface.

    Tissue Retraction: The generated heat causes local contraction of the collagen fibers, to immediately tighten the skin.

    New collagen formation: Bing the dermis, new collagen production is stimulated. This tightening effect is delayed and may take from 3-6 months to be visible.

    Improved circulation: RF will also improve the blood and lymphatic flow. This helps with a better oxygen supply and greater toxin clearance to further reduce the effects of aging.


    What can be treated with the ultrasound cavitation system?

    GBG trained therapists offer cost effective and professional treatments including:

  • Cellulite and fat reduction
  • Body Contouring
  • Skin tightening and fat melting
  • (Where radio-frequency is combined)

    RF can also be used in conjunction with ultrasound cavitation to aid in further fat breakdown and also to tighten the skin in the same area the cavitation treatment has taken place.

    Who Is Suitable For Ultrasound And RF Treatments?

    Most people are safe to have the treatments

  • Your trained therapist should be able to determine your suitability
  • Consult your Dr. if you are not sure
  • People with cardiac and vascular diseases, pacemaker carriers and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid undergoing the procedure


  • Is Ultrasound Cavitation painful?
    No, cavitation is a painless treatment. Mild redness may appear occasionally but will be highly unlikely to cause any actual pain. The heat from the hand pieces felt during the treatment is perfectly tolerable.

    Is Ultrasound Cavitation a safe treatment?
    Yes, it is a nonsurgical procedure without anesthesia, it is non-invasive (no cutting, leaves no scars or the need for any post-operative course) and no downtime should be experienced after the treatment.


    Which are the areas where treatment is more effective?
    All those areas with localised fat: thighs, abdomen and buttocks are the most appropriate but there is no real limitation as to areas of the body.
    Can you lose weight with ultrasound cavitation?
    Cavitation is not a method to lose weight but to reshape the body. It is particularly indicated for the reduction of abiposity, the famous “love handles” that won’t go away with diet and exercise.
    Are the results of ultrasound cavitation similar to those of liposuction?
    Yes, because it removes cellulite preventing this from recurring in the treated areas, without damaging the vascular system.
    The fat is a solid substance, how can it be eliminated through the urine?
    Because ultrasound cavitation causes an emulsification of fat, converting it into a substance easy to eliminate through the urinary and the lymphatic system.
    Must you follow any guidelines before or after undergoing ultrasound cavitation?
    We recommend a low calorie diet and drink at least 1.5 litres of water before and after the session. Drinking water is a necessary part in order to eliminate the fat. Regular exercise such as walking or other aerobic activities should also be maintained in order to help the system to naturally process the fat after the treatment.
    How much time should elapse between one session of untrasound cavitation before another?
    The body eliminates the fat of a single session in approximately 3-5 days, so we recommend an interval of around one week between each session.
    Number of treatments and treatment frequency for each application:
    Ultrasound Cavitation:
    6-10 treatments spaced one week apart
    Skin Tightening:
    6-10 treatments spaced one week or three days apart
    AFTER CARE FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS

    The Procedure Takes Place In Four Stages

    Stage 1-2. The slimming treatment - Lipo cavitation and the Mono-Polar RF lipolysis, dissolves fat cells and gives immediate slimming results.
    Stage 3-4. Once the slimming treatment is finished the application of a vacuum drainage technique is used, followed by Tri -Polar Radio Frequency skin tightening. This is the best approach to reduce cellulite and any sagging skin related to the loss of fat from that area.

    Hydration is a very important component of the successful Cavitation treatment. You need to drink at least 2 litres of water a day, starting one week before your treatment. Choose an area you want to treat and start moisturising that area daily, after your morning shower, and at night.

    Stage1. Ultrasound Lipo Cavitation

    20 min per treatment area
    The Ultrasound transducer glides over the selected fatty area, with the active G5 “Anti-cellulite” treatment gel. The sensation is best described as a hot stone massage.
    The ultrasound delivers a concentrated low frequency ultrasonic beam, which liquefies the local fat deposit. The ultrasound selectively disrupts fragile fat cell membranes, through thousands of microscopic implosions thus increasing its permeability; this does not affect the nearby tissues such as skin, arteries and peripheral nerves. It is completely painless and free of harm. The excreted triglyceride content from disrupted fat cells releases into the surrounding tissues and then enters the metabolic pathways to be processed into glycerol and free fatty acids (FFA) used for energy production. Water-soluble glycerol enters into interstitial fluids and lymphatic circulation, and the insoluble FFA travels to the liver, where they are processed like any dietary fats. Usually after the reduction of subcutaneous fat layers, skin loses elasticity and gains laxity; in this case the Radio Frequency Skin Tightening treatment offers tremendous help and is an essential component of anti-cellulite therapy.

    Stage 2. Mono-polar Radio Frequency Lipolysis

    20min per treatment area, Mono-polar Radio Frequency Lipolysis further disrupts the fat cells, emulsifies the fat and breaks it down into small particles that the body can easily and naturally metabolise.
    High-power mono-polar radiofrequency current intensively heats the sub-dermis (where cellulite is located), exerting a triple action, slimming, tightening and lifting of the cellulite tissues.
    You can end the session by completing stage 1 and stage 2 of the whole procedure; this will give you a good slimming result, and take only 30 minutes to complete.

    Stage 3. Tri-polar Radio Frequency

    The Tri-polar Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Treatment increases the temperature on the sub dermal level. This shortens the collagen fibres and stimulates the fibroblast cells, which in turn produces the new collagen and restores the elastine- collagen network, smoothing out the cellulite and tightening the skin. During each Radio Frequency Treatment you will feel a brief sensation of heat with little to no discomfort. Radio Frequency can be performed as a stand alone treatment offering skin tightening results without surgery and can also be used after your favorite in-clinic treatments, such as Facials and Rejuvenation Hyperbaric Oxygen Infusion, or be alternated with Cosmetic Acupuncture or VAST Harmonic Facial Renewal to further enhance your results.

    Stage 4. Negative Pressure (Vacuum) Lipomassage

    Specific vacuum lipomasage combines sliding and pumping movements that produce vascular exercise while promoting the reabsorption of retained fluids and toxins and their drainage to the lymphatic system.

    This vacuum lipomassage is performed to finish the treatment as this helps to transport the emulsified fat into the lymphatic system. Furthermore, the liberated fat from the adiposities is metabolised by the liver and excreted in the urine, so it is recommended to drink plenty of water, both on the day of treatment and on the subsequent days as well.

    Nina believes that flawless skin is possible at any age. It is also possible that your body's biological age can be slowed and even reversed. Whether your concern is to address the needs of mature skin or to maintain a youthful appearance. The Radio Frequency Skin Tightening treatment is the latest technique being incorporated into anti-ageing skin management.


    It helps tighten skin on the face and body through the use of heat which penetrates deep into the dermis layer and stimulates the production of collagen. After the Ultrasound Lipo Cavitation treatment is completed it is recommended to do 30 min of cardiovascular exercise, to help speed up the metabolic processes, thus removing the freed fatty acids out of the body.
