Sculpt and Skin by Amber Jasper’s ultrasound body contouring can help you without surgery or sweating it all alone!

By the end of this read, you will know how ultrasound body contouring works for men and women and how it can help you reach your body goals without spending ages on the treadmill!

What Is Ultrasound Body Contouring?

Ultrasound body contouring, or ultrasonic cavitation, is a non-surgical body treatment that uses ultrasound technology to break down fat cells below the skin.

This procedure does not require anesthesia, incisions, or needles, making it a less invasive alternative to liposuction and other surgical fat-reduction methods.

Ultrasound fat reduction treatments use two main cavitation types: 40K and 80K. These refer to the ultrasound wave frequencies used. Cavitation machines create tiny bubbles using ultrasound, which act like a gentle massage to break down fat cells.

The 40K Hz machine operates at 40,000 cycles/second and works to dissolve deeper layers of fat than 80k ultrasonic cavitation machines.
The 80K Hz machine uses a higher frequency at 80,000 cycles per/second with less noise. Only the 80K cavitation probe will heat up, and it's suited for clients who cannot tolerate the noise from the 40K cavitation probe.

When comparing 40K to 80K, 40K generates stronger and more efficient cavitation. Therefore, cavitation released by 40K is more powerful than that of 80K.

How Does Ultrasound Body Contouring Work?

Sculpt and Skin’s ultrasound body contouring treatment uses radio frequencies and low-frequency ultrasonic waves. These waves create bubbles around fat deposits beneath the skin, causing them to burst and break down the fat.

The broken-down fat moves into the body's lymphatic system, transforming into glycerol and free fatty acids. The body reuses glycerol, while the free fatty acids go to the liver and are eliminated as waste.

This treatment targets various areas such as the abdomen, hips, love handles/flanks, inner and outer thighs, upper arms/bingo wings, bra and back rolls, buttocks, and chin.

Although immediate results are noticeable after the first session, seeing the best results requires 3 to 12 sessions. However, you may see gradual improvements after every session.

Who Are the Ideal Candidates for Ultrasound Body Contouring?

Here is a checklist before undergoing ultrasound body contouring:

Good overall health: Candidates should be healthy without open wounds, skin infections, high blood pressure, and diabetes
Stable weight: Candidates should be at or close to their ideal body weight, with stabilised weight loss. They should also be within 15 pounds or 8 kilograms of their target weight.
Steady body mass index (BMI): Candidates should have body mass index values of 18.5k/m2 and 24.9kg/m2
Non-smokers: Smoking is not good for ultrasound body contouring due to its bad effect on skin elasticity and blood circulation
Realistic expectations: Candidates should be patient and have realistic expectations regarding the achievable results from the treatment.

How Are Ultrasound Body Contouring Treatments Done?

Sculpt and Skin's sessions typically last approximately 2 hours. Treating multiple areas simultaneously is not recommended because the body needs time to process the excess fat effectively, which moves through the lymphatic system to the liver. Treat one area per session with a 72-hour gap between treatments to see noticeable and fast results.

Is Body Fat Cavitation Really Effective?

Ultrasound fat cavitation is an effective, safe, and FDA-approved procedure with measurable results. Studies show it reduces abdominal fat, and you can track your progress by measuring your lost inches with tape or just checking yourself in the mirror.

However, the results aren't a one-size-fits-all. Your health history, body composition, body type, and other factors can affect the results and how long it lasts.

Some also argue that the fat cavitation results are temporary. The fat cells don't exactly vanish but can fill back up, turning fat cavitation into an expensive treatment.

You must adopt a healthy lifestyle to ensure that fat doesn't come back. That means eating right and getting moving regularly – a balanced diet and exercise routine.

So, if you're thinking about giving fat cavitation a shot, remember that it's not a magic fix. You need to keep up the good habits for the long haul.

Health Impacts of Ultrasonic Cavitation

A research study found that using ultrasonic cavitation and a healthy diet and exercise significantly helped reduce weight in people at risk of type 2 diabetes due to obesity. This suggests that ultrasonic cavitation can be a useful part of managing conditions like prediabetes in obese individuals who adopt a healthy lifestyle.

You may notice mild bruising and redness and urinate more frequently as fat cells release. Some may even feel a bit uncomfortable or experience pain in the treated area.

Now and then, the fat breakdown might not be completely smooth, causing some lumps or bumps on your skin. But no worries, these can usually be sorted out with follow-up treatments.

There may also be significant risks, such as getting burns or blisters. This is more likely if the cavitation device isn't handled properly or if energy levels are too high. Ensure choosing the right provider and have the treatment done by experienced and qualified professionals.

Certain people should completely avoid ultrasonic cavitation. If you have conditions like liver or kidney problems or heart issues, it's better to avoid this treatment.

What should be avoided before and after ultrasound body contouring treatment?

Here’s a list of things to avoid before and after completing your ultrasound body contouring treatments:

Metal implants

You might not be a good candidate for ultrasonic cavitation if you've got metal implants. Ultrasonic waves from the cavitation machine can affect how your implants work. This goes for people with screws or implants, pacemakers, or other electrical prostheses.

However, a study suggests that having metal implants inside a patient might not be a deal-breaker for getting ultrasound treatments.

Open wounds

To keep things safe, it's best not to do ultrasound cavitation on areas with skin wounds. Ultrasound cavitation uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to break down fat cells.

If you use these waves on a spot with open skin sores, it might cause infection or make the issue worse. It could also mess up the healing process, making it take longer or even leave a scar.

Recent surgery

If you've had surgery recently, it's best to wait until eight weeks after surgery. This is because your skin and tissues are usually sensitive and swollen after surgery. Using ultrasonic cavitation during this time might worsen swelling and slow healing. So, waiting until you've healed up is better before considering this treatment.

Foods high in salt, cholesterol, and sugar

Consuming these foods may impede lipolysis, which involves breaking down fat cells. It is recommended to start a nutritious diet rich in water, lean proteins, and vegetables.

Alcohol

Aside from your diet, refrain from drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours before and after the treatment. Alcohol can disrupt the liver from metabolising and eliminating fats.

Heavy meals

Next, it is important to refrain from eating heavy meals. Consuming a heavy meal may prompt the body to enter a state where it stores fat, which can counteract the effects of the treatment.

For optimal results, consider eating small but frequent meals. This means increasing the frequency of meals while reducing the portion size in each serving. It can help sustain energy levels and facilitate a smoother recovery process.

Surprising Benefits of Detoxifying Before Undergoing Ultrasound Body Contouring

Have you ever considered detoxing before your ultrasonic cavitation session? Smart move! Here's why it's worth it:

It enhances fat elimination

Detoxing prepares your body for the fat and toxin release that goes down during ultrasonic cavitation. The treatment shakes up those fat cells, turning them into liquid contents in your bloodstream. Your body's lymphatic and urinary systems can perform better detox, making the process more efficient.

Hydration

You know how water does wonders? Well, it's your detox best friend, too. Drink at least 2 litres before your treatment and keep water therapy going with another 2 litres daily afterwards. It helps flush out those toxins efficiently.

Smart eating habits

A detox-friendly diet is the secret sauce for prime cavitation results. Go low on fats, carbs, and sugar 24 hours before and three days after your treatment. Why? Because it helps your body make the most of the fat (triglycerides) released during the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions on Ultrasound Body Contouring

Does ultrasound body cavitation affect visceral fat?

Visceral fat is located deeper than subcutaneous fat and is not directly affected by ultrasound cavitation treatments. The treatment primarily targets subcutaneous adipose tissue, the type of fat found under the skin.

How much fat can I lose with body fat cavitation?

Ultrasonic cavitation trims down targeted fat areas, which can lower your overall percentage of body fat. Every session can reduce fat by about 1 to 3 inches. You can lose up to 2 more inches after every additional treatment.

How does body cavitation work with underwater weighing?

Ultrasonic cavitation reduces fat. Underwater weighing checks how well it works by measuring changes in body composition, fat, and lean mass. They don't directly work together, but they can be used to manage body fat and track progress.

Can ultrasonic fat cavitation remove cellulite?

Ultrasonic fat cavitation can help remove cellulite. It uses ultrasound waves to break down fat cells, including those that add up to the appearance of cellulite. Frequencies ranging from 20kHz to 40kHz are most suitable for fat reduction and cellulite removal.

What is localised fat?

Localised fat is usually found around the waist, thighs, buttocks, and arms. It can be challenging even with a good diet and regular exercise. The body tends to hold onto fat in these areas for a long time, and genetics can also make it tough to lose.

Fat for men often collects around the abdomen and lower back, while women store it in the hips and thighs. There are treatments like body sculpting or contouring that aim to get rid of these stubborn fat pockets. These procedures target specific areas to help achieve a more sculpted appearance.
