Fat Cavitation

Proper care following your treatment is important to ensure optimal results. 

The Ultimate Guide to Fat Cavitation: Pre and Post-Treatment Care

Fat cavitation is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses ultrasound technology to target and break down stubborn fat cells beneath the skin. It’s a popular choice for those seeking smoother, more sculpted body contours without surgery or downtime. To achieve the best possible results and maintain your new shape, it’s important to follow specific pre- and post-care instructions.

Here’s what you need to know:

 

Before Your Fat Cavitation: Preparation Tips

To ensure that your treatment is a success, there are a few things you should keep in mind before the appointment:

 

1. Hydration is Key

  • Drink plenty of water (at least 1.5–2 litres) the day before and the day of your treatment.

  • Staying hydrated helps your body metabolize and eliminate the broken-down fat cells more effectively.

2. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine

  • Refrain from consuming alcohol or caffeine for at least 24 hours before your session.

  • These substances can dehydrate your body and make it more difficult for your lymphatic system to process the released fat.

3. Eat a Light Meal

  • Have a light, healthy meal a few hours before your session. Avoid heavy, fatty, or sugary foods.

  • This helps stabilize your blood sugar levels and ensures comfort during the treatment.

4. Avoid Lotions or Creams

  • On the day of your treatment, do not apply lotions, oils, or creams to the target area. Clean, dry skin ensures optimal ultrasound contact and better results.

5. Plan for Multiple Sessions

  • Fat cavitation works gradually. Most clients require a series of 6–10 sessions, spaced about a week apart, for noticeable and lasting results.

 


After Your Fat Cavitation: Post-Treatment Care

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

  • Continue to drink at least 2 litres of water daily for 72 hours following your treatment.

  • Adequate hydration helps flush out the liquified fat through your lymphatic system.

2. Engage in Light Exercise

  • Incorporate light physical activity, such as brisk walking or cardio, within 24 hours of your session.

  • Exercise boosts circulation and encourages your body to naturally eliminate the released fat cells.

3. Avoid Alcohol, Nicotine, and Caffeine

  • Steer clear of these substances for at least 48 hours post-treatment, as they can slow down your body’s detoxification process and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

4. Eat a Healthy, Balanced Diet

  • Stick to lean proteins, vegetables, and whole grains while avoiding processed and high-fat foods.

  • This helps prevent new fat accumulation and supports your body’s ability to metabolize the released fat.

5. Lymphatic Drainage

  • For enhanced results, consider a lymphatic drainage massage or dry brushing to help stimulate the removal of toxins and waste products.

6. Avoid Heat and Direct Sunlight

  • Refrain from using saunas, hot tubs, or sunbathing for 24–48 hours after treatment, as excessive heat may irritate the treated area.

7. Expect Mild Tenderness

  • Some clients experience mild redness, warmth, or tenderness in the treated area. These effects are temporary and should subside within a few hours.

 


Results and Maintenance

 

  • Sessions: 6–10 treatments, spaced one week apart.

 

  • Maintenance: Monthly touch-up sessions are recommended to maintain results, along with a healthy lifestyle.
      • Results are typically gradual, with visible changes appearing after several sessions as your body continues to process the released fat. Maintain your results with a healthy lifestyle, proper hydration, and regular exercise.

     

    Important Notes

    • Fat cavitation is not suitable for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have serious medical conditions such as liver, kidney, or heart disease.

    • Always inform your practitioner about any medications, implants, or health concerns prior to treatment.
