Ultrasonic Cavitation: Treatment Advice & Aftercare

Before & After Your Ultrasonic Cavitation Treatment

At Eco Skin Clinic, we use the Zemits Abigon Pro for our Ultrasonic Cavitation treatments.

Ultrasonic Cavitation is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment using low-frequency ultrasound. The Abigon Pro allows the ultrasound frequency to be adjusted between 30 and 40 kHz according to the area being treated and the individual treatment plan. Zemits UK

The treatment is designed for localised areas of stubborn fat and body contouring rather than as a treatment for general weight loss.

Before Your Treatment

Before your appointment:

• Keep normally hydrated in the days around your treatment.

• Eat normally — you don't need to fast.

• Avoid excessive alcohol before treatment.

• Don't attend with broken, irritated or infected skin in the treatment area.

• Tell us about any medication you take or significant medical conditions.

• Tell us about previous surgery in the treatment area.

• Let us know about implants, surgical mesh or other medical devices in or close to the area.

• Tell us if your health or medication has changed since your consultation.

  
  

Is Ultrasonic Cavitation Suitable for Everyone?

Ultrasonic Cavitation isn't appropriate for everyone, so a consultation is required before treatment.

Please tell us if you:

• are pregnant or breastfeeding

• have a significant liver or kidney condition

• have a significant heart or circulatory condition

• have a blood-clotting disorder or history of thrombosis

• take anticoagulant medication

• have diabetes or a condition affecting normal sensation or healing

• have an active infection, open wound or significant inflammation

• have a hernia in or close to the proposed treatment area

• have metal or medical implants in the proposed treatment area

• have previously had surgery in the area

• are undergoing cancer treatment or have a significant current medical condition.

Your practitioner will assess your individual circumstances and the area you would like treated before deciding whether cavitation is appropriate.

Do not stop prescribed medication for treatment unless advised by the healthcare professional who prescribed it.

What Does Ultrasonic Cavitation Feel Like?

A handheld applicator is moved continuously across the treatment area using a conductive gel.

Most clients find the treatment comfortable. You may experience mild warmth, vibration or tingling.

Hearing a High-Pitched Sound Is Normal

During cavitation you may hear a high-pitched buzzing or ringing sound.

This is a characteristic sensation associated with low-frequency ultrasound and can sound surprisingly loud to some clients, while others hardly notice it.

The sound is experienced during treatment and should stop when the cavitation applicator is switched off.

If you find it uncomfortable, tell your practitioner.

What to Expect Afterwards

The Abigon Pro cavitation treatment is non-invasive and Zemits describes it as having no downtime.

You may nevertheless notice temporary:

• warmth

• mild redness

• slight tenderness or sensitivity in the treated area.

You can normally return to your usual activities straight away.

Aftercare

Following your treatment:

• Continue to keep normally hydrated.

• Maintain your usual healthy, balanced diet.

• Continue your normal physical activity.

• Avoid excessive alcohol immediately following treatment.

• Treat the area gently if it feels sensitive.

• Follow any personalised advice given by your practitioner.

There is normally no complicated aftercare required.

Exercise & Lifestyle

You can normally exercise following your treatment if you feel comfortable doing so.

For the best approach to body contouring, we recommend combining your treatment programme with regular physical activity, a balanced diet and maintaining a relatively stable weight.

Ultrasonic Cavitation shouldn't be viewed as an alternative to weight management.

A Course of Treatments

Ultrasonic Cavitation is usually approached as a course rather than expecting a dramatic result from a single treatment.

The number of treatments recommended will depend on the area, amount of localised fat and your individual response.

Your practitioner will discuss a suitable treatment plan with you.

When Should I Contact Eco Skin Clinic?

Significant reactions aren't expected.

Please contact us if you experience:

• significant or increasing pain

• persistent swelling

• unusual or significant bruising

• prolonged numbness or altered sensation

• a skin reaction that isn't settling
