A cavitation device is an ultrasonic machine that delivers non-surgical and completely painless fat loss treatments. There are several types of cavitation treatments though they all use soundless, painless vibrations or waves, such as ultrasound or radiofrequency, to dissolve soft tissue.

Cavitation machines are FDA-approved, and while they can be found in beauty salons, medical spas, or holistic health care offices, they are becoming increasingly popular for at-home use. When used correctly, a cavitation device will significantly reduce fat and tighten and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

Melting Body Fat Away: How the Cavitation Machine Works 

The most common cavitation treatments work by emitting low-frequency radio or ultrasound waves into fat cells, which causes them to rupture. The fat cells liquefy and are safely excreted as waste through the body's natural elimination systems. The entire process is entirely painless and non-surgical as the body's fat just melts away.

Is The Cavitation Treatment Best for Overall Weight Loss or Body Contouring? 

While you will lose some weight by using a cavitation device, it's meant to treat small, localized body areas. These areas tend to be the problematic ones that accumulate unwanted fat, such as the thighs, hips, or tummy. Cavitation treatment is considered a body contour treatment because you can choose exactly which areas to slim and contour and which ones to leave alone. Cavitation treatment is best suited for eliminating the stubborn fat that exercise and diet cannot easily address. It is not meant to alleviate obesity or be a quick fix for instant weight loss. 

While it is sometimes referred to as a "laser lipo" or a "lipo cavitation device," it is important to remember that a cavitation machine treatment is very different than liposuction. Liposuction is an expensive surgical treatment that results in sudden, rapid, and often dramatic weight loss. Cavitation treatments are best for reducing smaller amounts of cellulite and adipose fat in specific areas. Compared to liposuction, cavitation treatment is safer, non-surgical, less expensive, and requires no downtime.

11 Benefits of Cavitation Fat Loss Treatments

1. A lipo cavitation device is effective on all body types, skin types, and ages.

2. Cavitation treatment can be safely used on any area of the body where fat loss is desired.

3. Results are immediate and continue to improve over time.

4. There is measurable circumference reduction in successfully treated areas.

5. There's an improved appearance of wrinkles and scars.

6. Elasticity and skin tone are rejuvenated.

7. Blood circulation is improved.

8. There's an accelerated removal of fat cells and detoxification.

9. Cellulite disappears, and areolar tissue is improved.

10. Treatment is painless, non-surgical, and safe, and there are minimal side effects, if any at all.

11. You can perform treatments from the convenience of your home or even during travel if you purchase your own cavitation machine.

What Kinds of Cavitation Treatments Are Available? 

Cavitation machine treatments come in 4 main types:

Lipo cavitation Treatment 

This is one of the most common cavitation treatments. It utilizes focused ultrasound or "ultrasonic cavitation" to dissolve fat.

Lipo cavitation Treatment with Suction 

Lipo cavitation combines ultrasonic waves with simultaneous vacuuming pressure. The suctioning creates a thermal effect and massage that maximizes fat cell elimination.

Radiofrequency Cavitation Treatment

In this treatment, radiofrequency energy targets and liquefies fat. Radiofrequency is often combined with other types of cavitation treatments such as ultrasonic or cold laser to maximize fat cell dissolution.

The Beauty Cavitation V2 and the Beauty Cavitation V1 both deliver all three types of these incredible treatments.

Cold Laser Cavitation Treatment 

Another cavitation treatment type is cold laser cavitation or "laser lipo." This treatment uses laser technology to target and dissolve fat cells.

What To Expect During a Cavitation Treatment and How Many You Need 

Cavitation treatment is generally a very easy and relaxing process.

According to a Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery study, a treatment regimen of 10-12 sessions is necessary to achieve the desired amount of fat loss and contouring. Each session should take about 40 minutes total.

A session involves a few key things. It begins by spreading a cavitation gel generously over the target area. The cavitation machine probe (the part that's applied to the body) is then moved along the surface of the targeted area for the specified amount of time. Some people also take measurements before and after their treatment to monitor results. You can read a detailed description of cavitation treatment instructions and safety points here. Since your body will be very busy eliminating extra fat from your system, fat loss treatments should be supported with a good diet, exercise, and ample hydration.

Side Effects of Using a Cavitation Machine for Fat Loss 

The cavitation machine is FDA-approved and very safe. The side effects are nonexistent to minimal, especially compared to a more extreme fat loss treatment such as surgical liposuction. Some side effects that could result from using the cavitation machine are mild skin sensitivity, bruising, swelling, or blistering in the areas where the probe or transducer is used. 

Cavitation machines are an excellent option for anyone looking for a non-surgical fat loss solution that actually works. They will help you achieve the body shape you desire without surgery or other invasive solutions, all from the privacy and comfort of your home.
