Fat Dissolving
Ultrasound Cavitation
What is Ultrasound Cavitation and RF?
Ultrasonic Cavitation, also recognised as Ultrasound Liposuction and Ultra Cavitation, is a non-surgical fat removal method employing scientifically validated non-invasive technology to break down undesired fat. Simultaneously, radio frequency serves as a non-invasive heat treatment that aids in tightening, contouring, and refining deeper lines on the face and body.
How does it work?
This treatment employs two types of technology:
Ultrasound: This utilises low-frequency sound waves to heat and vibrate the layer of fat cells beneath the skin’s surface. This process creates pressure, leading the fat cells to liquefy and release their contents. The body then safely eliminates these liquefied fat cells.
Radio Frequency Technology: This advanced technology safely heats the deep layers of the skin. As a result, collagen fibres contract and remodel, enhancing skin lift and tightness. Radiofrequency is versatile and can be applied to both facial and body treatments.
What areas can be treated?
The following areas can undergo treatment:
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Love Handles/Flanks
- Inner and Outer Thighs
- Upper Arms/Bingo Wings
- Bra and Back Rolls
- Buttocks
- Chin
- Face (RF only)
This treatment can effectively reduce “man boobs,” but it is not suitable for treating female breast tissue or Gynecomastia.
Does it hurt?
Most patients find the treatment to be very comfortable and trouble-free. Some clients may experience warmth during the procedure and a slight amount of noise discomfort, but there is no pain.
How long is the treatment?
Each session lasts approximately 40 minutes. It is not recommended to treat multiple areas simultaneously, as the body needs time to efficiently process the excess fat moving through the lymphatic system to the liver. Adhering to the guideline of one area, one treatment every 72 hours yields rapid and effective results.
Do I have to do anything before my treatment?
A consultation is imperative, providing us with the opportunity to assess your needs and understand the specific results you desire. This allows us to tailor the perfect solution for you.
On the day of your treatment, it is advised to abstain from consuming alcohol, fizzy drinks, or caffeine. Additionally, it’s recommended to avoid heavy meals both before and after the treatment. To optimize the effectiveness of cavitation treatments, we suggest maintaining adequate hydration by drinking 6-8 glasses of water per day throughout your course of treatment.
When will I see results?
Patients can anticipate a reduction of several centimetres in circumference after the initial Cavitation treatment. With RF, some results will be visible immediately after the treatment. However, the subsequent repair and remodelling of deep collagen continue to produce effects over the next 3-6 months. This gradual improvement contributes to longer-lasting and more comprehensive results.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions required depends on the patient’s age and skin condition. Although immediate results are visible after the first session, it may be advisable to undergo between 3 and 12 sessions for optimal results. Patients undergoing a series of treatments will experience gradual improvements with each session, leading to enhanced outcomes over the course of the treatment plan.
How long do the results last?
To sustain the achieved results, it is crucial to adhere to a healthy, low-calorie diet and engage in regular exercise. Additionally, drinking 8 glasses of water a day, both before and after the treatment, is essential. The elimination of fat is accelerated by adequate water intake, making water a key component in the process of eliminating fat. Consistent hydration is instrumental in supporting and optimizing the benefits of the treatment.
Who is suitable for Ultrasound Cavitation and Radio Frequency skin treatments?
Unfortunately, the treatment is not suitable for everyone. Please ensure that your BMI falls within the treatable range, which should be no more than 30. Significant obesity is beyond the treatment range for the contouring and styling effects of ultrasonic liposuction. Additionally, certain medical conditions and medications may render some patients unsuitable to benefit from the treatments.
You will be unsuitable for Ultrasonic Cavitation & Radio Frequency treatments if you have any of the following:
- Cancer
- Liver problems
- Kidney or pancreatic problems
- Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy, or if you are nursing a baby
- Severe hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, and poor circulation in blood and lymph
- Gallstones or problems handling a fatty diet
- High cholesterol or hypertriglyceridemia
- Implanted devices (e.g., pacemaker)
- Artificial hips and bone
- Systemic or autoimmune diseases
- Immunosuppression or are taking immunosuppressive drugs
- Scarring, hernias, or undefined skin disorders or allergies in the treatment area
Fat Dissolving Injections
What are fat dissolving injections?
Fat dissolving injections entail the administration of a substance known as deoxycholic acid, naturally present in bile—the fluid produced by the liver to aid in fat digestion.
These injections are highly sought after for addressing stubborn fat and have been effectively utilized in aesthetic medicine since 2009, boasting a commendable safety profile and delivering excellent results for thousands of patients across Europe.
Who is eligible for fat dissolving injections?
This treatment is suitable for individuals without serious medical conditions and with a normal body weight. It proves effective in addressing areas of persistent fat that may not respond to diet and exercise.
It’s crucial to understand that this is not a weight loss procedure and should not be viewed as such. Instead, it serves as a beneficial treatment for body contouring.

Fat dissolving injections can be applied to various areas, including:
- Double Chin
