Principles of Ultrasound Cavitation

Works by utilizing ultrasonic energy,delivered in PULSE

(SHORT BURST OF ENERGY TO AVOID HEAT BUILDING UP IN THE
TISSUE)
To effectively emulsify unwanted fat cells while leaving
surrounding tissue unaffected
Non invasive procedure
Does not have radiation
Within a particular range of frequency (FROM 20 TO 70 KHZ)
creates microbubbles inside a liquid
The name CAVITATION comes from the cavities
(MICROBUBBLES) CREATED BY THESE PRESSURE WAVES
 How does it works?
The ultrasonic waves
delivered via a hand held
device, focus their energy
in the subcutaneous fat.
The sound waves hit the
fat cells under the skin,
causing them to vibrate
and to break up the cell
membranes. The
destroyed fat cells are
then carried to the liver,
where they are
metabolized.
How do the hand held device looks like?

Transducer
the name of the
cavitations
probe

Releases
ultrasonic waves
to breakdown
fats and
cellulites
INDICATIONS:
ULTRASOUND CAVITATION
is used to treat stubborn
areas of fat and cellulites
which are resistant to diet
and exercise such as those
found on the:

Abdomen, e.g., tummy,

waist
Thighs, e.g., saddle bags
Back, e.g., love handles
Arms
 Contraindications
1. Women who is pregnant or during lactation
2. People with metal material inside the body
( includes metal tooth&silicon)
3. People with heart disease or heart pacemaker
4. People with skin problems or diseases
5. People with kidney and liver problems
6. Women with menstruation
7. People with epilepsy
8. People with wound not healed up after operation
9. People with uncontrolled diabetes.
10. People with serious capillary vessel enlargement,
11. People with uncontrolled Blood pressure or hypertension
12. People with serious bleeding
 Common questions ask?
Note: Dont give false assurance
How many session would it take?
Depends on the size of bulges and body frame of a person:
Small Frames = 4-6 sessions
Big Frames = 6-12 sessions
How long is the treatment time?
1 hour per week
How long is the interval of treatment?
Depends on the proper interval of the treatment:
Once a week
How long is the result?
Depends if the client pairs it with proper diet and exercise
Has faster and bigger result
 Procedure
Strokes
Arms Start from elbow then drain to armpit area
Abdomen Focus on one area first then drain to inner thighs but not too
close to mons pubis or might cause inflammation
Thighs Start from lower portion to upper area then drain on the inner thighs
area
Measurement use centimeter side
Arms Place tape measure from shoulder bone to elbow, get the center
portion measurement .
From the center portion measure 3cm up and 3cm down.
From the 3cm up portion, measure the circumference around
From the 3cm down portion, measure the circumference around
Note: Using the measurement taken before the treatment subtract it to the
measurement taken after the treatment and add those results to take the
final measurement result
 Hands on
Drape the client properly
Measure the area before the treatment
Expose only the area to treat
Apply gel on the area to treat
Set the time and sound intensity of the Cavi machine to use
Check the highest intensity of the machine to use and start on the average
intensity of sound
Increase sound intensity as desired and tolerated by the client to prevent
irritation or discomfort
Advise client not to plug headsets or earphone
Divide the area into two sides as well as the time
Be sure to finish one side before transferring into another area
Avoid bony prominences
Maintain on a circular movement or focus on one area and do the draining
before transferring into another area until allotted time is finished
Measure again after the treatment
 Side Effects After Treatment
You can see some redness Offer the client to drink
but will disappear warm tea or warm
gradually beverages
A low intensity whistling Advise client to take
sound will be heard during proper diet and continue
the treatment and exercise if possible for
considered by most faster result
people tolerable
Treatment is generally
considered by most
people to be painless,
with no pain or discomfort
post treatment being
reported.
