When it comes to non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic treatments like body cavitation, there are usually minimal risks and dangers involved.

Body 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 body cavitation is safe and effective, and it’s quite natural to have some concerns about a treatment’s safety and effectiveness before trying it for yourself.

Body Cavitation: Pros and Cons

To determine whether body cavitation is safe and effective or not, it’s essential for you to be well-informed about its pros and cons.

Pros

• The process is absolutely painless.
• It’s less expensive as compared to liposuction.
• Post-treatment recovery time is minimal to non-existent.
• Side effects are rare.

Cons

• A proper diet and exercise regime are necessary to achieve lasting results…you can’t have a body cavitation treatment 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.
• Not meant to be a “total body and weight loss transformation.” The ideal candidate will generally about no more than 30lbs over their ideal weight.

 

Safety and Effectiveness

 

Although there are almost zero risks involved in body cavitation, there can be a few side effects, such as temporary bruising, pain, mild redness, and discomfort. If you are not properly hydrated, you may experience some nausea, but it’s only short term and is likely to pass away very quickly.

In very rare cases, though, there can be the formation of lumps, hills, depressions, bumps, or valleys in the treated area. If you do happen to experience any of these side effects, it is best to visit your surgeon and let them know about it so that they can advise accordingly.

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

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?

One of the best things about body cavitation is that its results are really long-lasting. If you maintain your weight and it remains stable in the long run, you can expect your results to last from many years to a lifetime.

However, do note here that factors like hormones, age, your diet, and fitness regime can affect the results, and they are also associated with increased fat. Furthermore, weight gain can make the remaining fat cells in the area expand.
