Q) How does it work?
A) The procedure starts with the ultrasonic device directly to specific areas of the skin after a gel is applied, you will be able to hear a high pitched noised which only you will be able to hear, your therapist will not hear this. This will start creating shock waves that damages the membranes of the adipocytes (fat cells) spilling the liquid fat into the lymphatic system and finally to the liver to be metabolised. It is scientifically proven that after a cavitation session, excess liquid or lymphatic toxins are drained from the body via the urinary system.
We then continue the session by using the Radio Frequency hand piece which is used slowly rotating over the targeted area, transmitting radio waves to the skin heating it to 40 degrees Celsius without burning the skin surface. The heat causes contraction of the collagen fibers to immediately tighten the skin.
Then finalized with the Vacuum device which is great for cellulite and for reducing small deposits of fat. The treatment leaves your skin immediately smoother and firmer.
