Ultrasonic Cavitation: How Low-Frequency Ultrasound Targets Fat Cells

Ultrasonic cavitation uses low-frequency ultrasound (~40 kHz) to create cavitation in fat: acoustic pressure makes microbubbles compress, expand and implode, generating momentary high pressure and microjets that rupture adipocyte membranes. Released triglycerides clear gradually via lymph and metabolism.

• Frequency: the cavitation threshold rises with frequency — 40 kHz cavities fat most readily; MHz-class focused ultrasound (HIFU body) uses thermal coagulation instead.
• Energy and movement: the head glides across the target; dwelling too long raises heat and bruising.
• Target: a local physical effect at water-fat interfaces; no effect on visceral fat.

Suited to localized fat with reasonable skin elasticity (abdomen, flanks, inner thighs); circumference change usually takes 4-8 sessions with diet and activity management. Not a weight-loss method — high-BMI clients need systemic management first. Post-session hydration supports metabolic clearance.

Does urine turn foamy after cavitation?

Some report foamy urine from lipid metabolite excretion — common and benign; hydration suffices.

Can it be done during menstruation?

Not contraindicated, but pelvic congestion increases discomfort; most facilities reschedule abdominal sessions.
