Volume reduction and cellulite with medical cavitation

To combat those hard to eliminate fatty deposits that are typical on the abdomen and the sides, the cavitation technique has become more and more popular and better known thanks to its effectiveness and good results, especially when combined with other techniques. There are many different cavitation systems and at Clínica Londres we offer medical cavitation using high-quality medical equipment to ensure optimal results and greater effectiveness compared to lower power equipment, and it is fully approved by the FDA and has CE marking.

What is medical cavitation?

This is a process caused by low-frequency ultrasounds to stimulate the formation of steam bubbles inside a liquid. The pressure exerted by the bubbles causes implosion, releasing energy that destroys adipose cells with the subsequent transformation of fat into a liquid substance (diglyceride) that will be eliminated through the lymphatic system and the urine.

What does the treatment entail?

At Clínica Londres, the specialist in cosmetic medicine gives you a personalized diagnosis in advance in the course of the first free medical consultation and determines the most suitable techniques, depending on the type of cellulite, and rules out possible contraindications*. The medical cavitation session is conducted by a clinical assistant, who applies the handset of the apparatus and moves it with a gentle massage over the area to be treated, previously prepared with a conductive gel. The patient may hear a slight noise during treatment, typical of ultrasound cavitation. The cavitation session lasts for 30 minutes and is accompanied by a presotherapy session (lymphatic drainage) to facilitate the elimination of the fat broken down during the treatment.

*Cavitation is not recommendable when kidney or liver disease is present, when there are active diseases affecting the skin, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in cases of hypercholesterolaemia or in individuals using a pacemaker or metal prostheses.

What areas are treated with medical cavitation?

The ideal areas to work on with medical cavitation are: abdomen, sides, trochanter areas (saddlebags), the inside of the thighs, knees..

What results can I expect? How many sessions are needed?

These treatments are among the most effective and results can be noticed right from the first session, with the skin starting to take on a smoother appearance and the body’s outline already ning to get smaller. Optimal results are achieved after approximately 10 to 15 sessions. Sessions are 7 days apart in order to ensure the total elimination of the fat. The greater or lesser success will always depend on each individual patient, diet and daily exercise.

What treatments are compatible with it?

Medical cavitation at Clínica Londres is always accompanied by a session of presotherapy, already d in the cost of the treatment, as, once the cavitation is completed, it is necessary to help the body eliminate the accumulated fluids, in this case liquid fat.

At Clínica Londres we offer our patients a first free consultation with a medical specialist. After assessing each case, the specialist offers guidance on the best combination of treatments to deal with the problem. If the patient is slightly overweight, or a widespread accumulation of body fat, then the ideal is to accompany this treatment with personalized nutritional monitoring, or other medically-supervised diets such the MOLDEA diet from Clínica Londres.

In many cases, medical cavitation is accompanied by corporal radiofrecuency , another technique that is highly effective at reducing volume and cellulite. It works by facilitating the elimination of fluids and reducing flaccidity.

Tips on medical cavitation treatment

• Before starting each treatment session, it is a good idea to drink quite a lot of water as this acts as a good conductor of ultrasounds.
• After each session, it is necessary to encourage the expulsion of the liquid fat; you should drink a lot of water to help flush out the fat through the urine, as well as engage in exercise to lose more through perspiration.
• You will achieve better results if you combine the treatment with a healthy diet.
• Taking moderate exercise every day and breaking with all your more sedentary habits will also help you to extend the effect for longer.
