Lipocavitation is a non invasive treatment which helps in the removal of localised fat deposits. It is ideal for people who are dissatisfied with a certain area of fatty deposits but do not want to undergo any invasive surgical treatment like liposuction. It is performed as a walk in, walk out treatment and there is no lengthy recovery period as with surgical fat removal.

A good candidate for lipocavitation is someone seeking fat removal from a specific area such as the hips, thighs, buttocks, stomach or arms. The treatment does not generally result in overall weight loss, but an improved contour in the localised treatment area. For this reason it is not suitable for an obese person and it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle incorporating a healthy eating plan and regular exercise in conjunction with the lipocavitation treatments. It is also good to maintain a high fluid intake to aid in the removal of toxins from the body. Lipocavitation is ideal for those who have tried to shift the stubborn fatty bulges via diet or exercise and are aiming for a smooth and balanced shape.

The first step is to examine the problem area and determine the exact treatment area by marking up the skin. A thin layer of gel is applied and spread evenly, and then the handpiece is placed in contact with the skin. In the treatment the handpiece delivers low frequency ultrasound waves down into the subcutaneous or fatty layer of the skin, targeting the adipocytes or fat cells. The minute vibrations produce tiny bubbles within the fat cells which disturb the outer membrane and allow tiny collections of fat to be expelled into the surrounding area, which then is removed via the body’s natural energy and waste removal processes. This selective destruction of fat cells does not interfere with adjacent structures such as blood vessels and nerves and is therefore a very safe treatment. Lipocavitation is a painless procedure, though for some people there may be a little discomfort associated with the noise during treatment which ceases when the handpiece is no longer in contact with the skin.

Several treatments are required to see a noticeable change in the smoothness and contour of the area, although this will depend on the desired result and the location of the stubborn pockets of fat. The treatment duration will depend on the size of the treatment area however it can usually be completed in 30 - 60 minutes.
