When it comes to non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic treatments like ultrasonic cavitation, there are usually minimal risks and dangers involved as long as you do not have preexisting, major medical conditions, such as cancer, metal implants, blood disorders or are recently recovering from surgery. (A full list of contraindications for TushToners can be found on our FAQ’s page).

Ultrasonic cavitation is an excellent alternative to liposuction, given how the latter is an invasive, “under the knife,” surgical procedure usually involving some sort of anesthesia and downtime to remove fat from target areas on the body, whereas, the former uses ultrasound technology to break the fat cells, with no sedation or downtime.

However, many people still wonder if ultrasonic cavitation is safe and effective, and it’s very normal and expected to have concerns about a treatment’s safety and effectiveness before trying it for yourself.

Body Cavitation: Pros and Cons

Pros

• The process is non-invasive, meaning non-surgical, with no anesthesia, or downtime.
• It’s significantly less expensive compared to liposuction or any other invasive method and TushToners is more affordable than most other noninvasive methods such as Coolsculpting, EmSculpt and others.
• It uses soundwave technology to shrink fat cells.
• Side effects are rare and tend to be only red skin, if any.
• Most people say it’s pain-free.
• Most people notice INSTANT results-the average person loses 1/2-1 inch of stomach fat in just one, 45-minute session.

Cons

• A proper diet and exercise regime are necessary to achieve lasting results…you can’t have an ultrasonic cavitation treatment and then fast-food after and expect the results to last.
• Though most people see results immediately, an average of 6-12 sessions is suggested to achieve optimal results. Some more some less depending up the person’s weight, age and body goals.
• Not meant to be a “total body and weight loss transformation.” The ideal candidate will generally be about no more than 30lbs over their ideal weight.

Safety and Effectiveness

Although there are almost zero risks involved with ultrasonic cavitation, there can be a few side effects, such as temporary redness. If you are not properly hydrated, you may not get the best results as water is essential to help move the liquified fat cells through the lymphatic system.

In terms of effectiveness, the results of this treatment have proven to be very promising. However, the results can vary depending on the patient’s body type, individual health history and lifestyle.

The results are also usually permanent since the destroyed fat cells are gone for good. However, as with any other fat-removal technique or procedure, body cavitation does require you to follow a healthy diet and an exercise regime in order to ensure lasting results.

An important thing to note here is that body cavitation isn’t really a weight-loss treatment, but majorly a fat-removal procedure to get rid of stubborn fat on different areas of the body. So, one shouldn’t opt for it thinking that it’s going to help them lose a lot of weight.

How Long Do Results Last?

Since everyone’s lifestyle is different there is not a specific timeframe in which the results with last. However, we can say age, body weight, and lifestyles are the best predictors to long-term success. The more active you are in terms of working out and eating healthy you are more likely to have long-lasting results. Many clients will do about 6-10 sessions and it can last years if they properly maintain the results.

For others, body contouring might be used as a crutch to get them in shape quickly for an upcoming wedding, vacation or summer. It’s easy to get results in a pinch!
