If you have experienced or considered esthetic treatments, you have probably heard the word “cavitation.” It is a beauty device that promotes slimming, often used in slimming esthetics and spot-slimming treatments.
This article introduces cavitation’s excellent benefits, and the differences between salon treatment and using it at home.
What Is Cavitation?
Cavitation works on fat cells with ultrasound. Its hallmark is destroying fat cells through the impact of bubbles forming and bursting. The destroyed fat cells dissolve and, as waste, pass through the blood and lymph vessels to be expelled from the body — producing the slimming effect. Enhancing the expulsion process after a cavitation session brings even better results.
What Benefits Can You Expect from Cavitation?
So what, concretely, can cavitation do? Use the following as material for deciding whether cavitation fits your own concerns.
Spot Slimming
Cavitation can be applied locally, making it ideal for those who want to slim specific areas. You can target exactly the spots that trouble you — thighs, upper arms, waistline — wherever cellulite or excess flesh is a source of complex.
Breaking Down Cellulite
Cavitation is said to be highly effective at breaking down cellulite. Cellulite is a mass of fat and waste products; breaking it down from outside the skin requires strong force, and hand care has its limits.
Cavitation, however, approaches from inside the skin with ultrasound, melting the fat and loosening its bond with the waste. Broken down, the fat and waste cease to exist as a mass and become easier to expel — making cellulite removal possible.
Improving Blood Flow and Lymph Flow
Cavitation can also be expected to improve puffiness. Puffiness arises when poor circulation causes blood that should flow onward to stagnate, continuously pressing on the vessels. To lower the internal pressure, fluid seeps out of the vessels. If that fluid drained away through the lymph vessels there would be no problem — but when lymph flow is also poor and the fluid stays put, it appears as puffiness.
Fat cells may be what is pressing on the blood and lymph vessels. As cavitation reduces those fat cells, the pressure eases and blood and lymph flow improve.
Cavitation can also stimulate the blood and lymph vessels themselves, so improved flow can be expected.
Does Cavitation Have Drawbacks?
Effective as cavitation is for slimming, it is not all upside. Anything that produces results carries drawbacks too. So what are cavitation’s? Here are two.
It Can Strain the Liver and Digestive Organs
Cavitation has the advantage of reducing fat cells without wounding the body’s surface. It can, however, place a burden on the internal organs — chiefly the liver.
The dissolved fat released by the breakdown is first gathered in the liver, then broken down again and expelled. For those with liver problems or liver disease, this can be a heavy burden.
Furthermore, expulsion from the body necessarily passes through the digestive organs — the stomach and intestines. When there is a lot of fat, the stomach and intestines can more easily suffer indigestion. Fat takes time to digest, so prolonged transit and overactivity can bring on indigestion and strain the stomach and gut.
The Skin May Sag
Cavitation can be expected to reduce fat cells rapidly. On the flip side, the skin may fail to keep up with such rapid change and end up sagging.
Have you ever seen skin left loose by a crash diet?
When fat decreases gradually, the skin can adapt and contract along with the change. But when it decreases rapidly, a gap forms between fat and skin. That is what causes sagging.
As a preventive measure, combining a machine with tightening effects is a good idea.
Cavitation Is Recommended for People Like This!
What kinds of concerns does cavitation suit? Here are four.
Those Who Want to Slim Down Fast
Cavitation is a treatment that promises slimming by breaking down fat. Because you can feel the results right after a session, it suits those who want to slim down surely and in a short time.
Those Who Don’t Want Liposuction
Cavitation can work on fat cells directly. It suits those who want to reduce the fat itself without major liposuction surgery or downtime.
Those Who Want to Improve Cellulite
Cellulite is fat and waste bound together into a mass. Melting the fat makes the mass vanish, breaking it back down into fat and waste. As a result, even the bumpy, visible cellulite can be expected to improve. Recommended for anyone who wants to deal with bothersome cellulite.
Those Who Want to Improve Coldness and Puffiness
Cavitation stimulates the blood and lymph vessels, and as the fat obstructing blood and lymph flow decreases, improved circulation can be expected. With better circulation, blood moves more freely and body temperature rises, so improvement in chronic coldness may follow. And as waste flows efficiently out through the lymph vessels, improvement in puffiness can be expected too.
How Often Should You Do Cavitation?
However eager you are to lose fat quickly, doing cavitation every day is a no. Its effects are said to last about three to four days. Doing self-care during that window, so the dissolved fat can be expelled, brings better results. Daily sessions may place a heavy burden on the internal organs — even if the treated areas differ, the fat leaves the body by the same route.
To stay effective without straining the organs, about once a week is the desirable frequency.
How Do Home and Salon Cavitation Differ?
Many beauty machines you can casually use at home are on the market. They save you the trip to a salon and free you from appointments, so they are quite popular.
But are they as potent as a salon’s? In reality, no. Home devices are priced affordably compared with salon machines, and the machines themselves are compact for home use.
Accordingly, they differ in having lower output and weaker effect. These differences are also deliberate — so that anyone can use them without specialized knowledge or technique, and to prevent side effects and other trouble.
Cavitation or HIFU — Which Is Recommended?
Among machines promising slimming effects there is also a treatment called HIFU. Like cavitation, it can be expected to slim specific areas.
HIFU’s hallmark is using ultrasound to deliver heat deeper than cavitation reaches. It promotes the production of beauty components such as collagen and elastin, promising firmer skin. By restoring firmness, improvements in wrinkles and sagging can be expected. It also destroys fat cells.
For those who want to focus on facial concerns, HIFU is recommended.
Combined with cavitation, you can improve sagging skin and gain a firm, resilient complexion.
