what areas on my body can i treat?

Ultrasonic cavitation works best on parts with localized fat. Such areas include the abdomen, flanks, under chin, submandibular, under the jawline, thighs, hips, and upper arms. This procedure cannot be performed on body parts like the head, neck, and other bony areas of the body.

It's a non-invasive treatment that utilizes low-frequency sound waves to break down fat cells, which are then naturally expelled from the body through the lymphatic system. Patients often appreciate that ultrasonic cavitation is relatively painless and requires no downtime, allowing them to return to their daily activities immediately after the session.

While results can vary, many individuals see noticeable improvements after just a few treatments. It's also worth noting that maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise can enhance and prolong the effects of ultrasonic cavitation.
