Liposuction vs Ultrasonic Cavitation
Have you been exercising non-stop and eating healthy for the past months but still can’t seem to lose even an ounce of that belly fat? Running miles don’t do anything for your thighs?
We are all genetically predisposed to a certain body shape. Often times a particular area of body can be out of proportion to the rest of the body. In cases like these, there’s not much a healthy way of living can do, but what if we told you there was something that could shape your body the was exercise and diet can’t?
Liposuction has been around for over four decades already. It’s one of the most popular methods in fight against unwanted body fat, a surgical procedure that removes fat from your problem areas using suction.
How does Liposuction work?
During the procedure the doctor places a thin tube (cannula) through a tiny cut in the skin. In the next step, the fat is sucked out through the cannula. The tube can be moved around under the skin to guarantee precision and better access to specific fat deposits.
Because of its invasive nature, Liposuction requires anaesthesia (local or general determined by the amount of fat you are about to lose) and you might even have to spend a night at the hospital depending on the size of the treated area. Most people can return to work within a few days and resume their normal activities within about 14 days. But you’ll have to live with wearing a compression garment for a week longer. At least swelling and bruising won’t last longer than 10 days.
But is all this trouble worth it? You decide: Liposuction physically removes fat cells leaving no room for regeneration, thus the result is permanent. However, the creation of new fat cells still remains a possibility, but nothing diet & exercise can’t help with this time around.
Still, if you think it’s too much to go through to get rid of a double chin, there’s a great alternative for you! It’s FDA approved, safe and requires no needles or surgical knives. Instead ultrasonic cavitation, also referred to as non-surgical liposuction uses ultrasonic waves to sculpt your body.
How does Ultrasonic Cavitation work?
Cavitation technology operates with 40 KHz to 5 MHz waves. These low frequency sound waves go deep under the skin and cause stubborn fat cells collapse to the pressure without affecting surrounding tissue. It’s usually followed up with lymphatic tissue massage to “rearrange” the liquid fat and help the body dispose it in a natural way through the lymphatic system. The results of the cavitation procedure are visible right away and continue to become more evident over the course of the next week.
Ultrasonic Cavitation being a non invasive and painless treatment requires no anaesthesia or downtime. Mild discomfort during the procedure and momentary redness is normal and can be avoided by drinking plenty of water.
