CAVI - LIPO *Ultrasound Cavitation
Cavi-Lipo is the newest technology in noninvasive liposuction. This treatment takes about 45 minutes to an hour and is great for people who want fat reduction, cellulite reduction and skin tightening all in one treatment.
Cavi-Lipo is one of the most advanced and efficient systems using Ultrasound Cavitation to breakdown fat cells. The released fat is then metabolized through the liver and released by natural means. Results are usually seen in the first treatment but it is recommended to have a series for best results. This treatment is great for men and women who want to reduce fat deposits on the belly, thighs, hips, breasts, upper arms, double chin or any other troubled area. No pain, no downtime and you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
The FDA has approved Cavi-Lipo for use in the US. This technology has been used in over 50 countries with amazing results for the treatment of adipose (fat) areas and cellulite. A perfect way to lose stubborn pockets of belly fat.
"How Cavi-Lipo Works"
Cavi-Lipo FAQ’s
How does it work?
The science behind Cavi-Lipo.. High Ultrasound / cavitation wave stimulates and vibrates the fat cell at such a high rate it causes tiny air molecules to form that are negative in pressure. These tiny air “bubbles” force their way out of the cell and by doing so burst the fat cell. That same ultrasound wave passing through the surface skin stimulates and oxygenates the surface cells causing a firming and tightening of the skin. The Cavi-Lipo system reduces fat cells, improves cellulite, tightens skin and improves lymphatic drainage.
*The FDA has cleared Cavi-Lipo for use in the USA.
What can I expect at my appointments?
You can expect approximately 30 minutes to relax, do absolutely nothing, just relaxing. You may even bring ear buds and listen to your favorite music.
The Cavi-Lipo treatment is completely painless. There is sometimes a very mild heat sensation similar to a hot stone massage and clients will hear a light vibration “ringing” during the process.
Each treatment, I will glide the hand piece with firm pressure over the treatment area for approx. 10 -15 minutes.
After you are done with each treatment you can get back to your normal activities immediately with absolutely no downtime, nor pain, no swelling or any discomfort. This is a symptom –free process except for losing unwanted inches.
What happens if I miss an appointment?
It is not recommended that you miss an appointment. Prior to starting the Cavi-Lipo treatment, it is important that you are committed to the recommended lifestyle protocol which includes at least a series of 3 treatments. (1 treatment per week. It usually takes 72+ hours to expel all the toxins released through natural elimination after each treatment)
How is it different than liposuction?
Liposuction is an invasive procedure that removes the entire area of fat cells from deposits beneath the skin using a hollow stainless steel tube (called a cannula) with the assistance of a powerful vacuum. Liposuction can be accomplished either with the use of general anesthesia, or with IV sedation, or totally by local anesthesia.
In contrast, the Cavi-Lipo treatment is a 100% non-invasive that uses Ultrasound / cavitation applied externally to stimulate the fat cell and emulsify and release fat. There is no use of anesthesia, nor any pain gels, pain creams, numbing agents, needles and no downtime.
How is it different from other “non-invasive” body slimming techniques?
The Cavi-Lipo is an Ultrasound / cavitation technology considered safe and effective by the FDA.
Is there any downtime?
Absolutely ZERO downtime. During the treatment you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used and you can assume normal activities immediately following each treatment.
Are there any limitations to what I can do if I’m using Cavi-Lipo?
No. During the treatment period you can continue your normal activities. It is strongly recommended that you commit to and follow the treatment protocol: stay hydrated (8-10 glasses of water a day), continue to eat healthy (48 hours before and during your treatment series reducing carbohydrate intake) and exercise (walk at least 30 minutes a day) and abstain from alcohol and caffeine. Alcohol and caffeine interfere with the lymphatic process to remove fat and metabolize it, which can decrease your results.
What areas of the body can I use Cavi-Lipo on?
The Cavi-Lipo is effective for all body areas where localized fat deposits or cellulite exists that are resistant to diet and exercise.
Does it work on Cellulite?
Yes, Cavi-Lipo is the only ultra sound device that is effective on cellulite. It works with high Ultrasound/cavitation by focusing the cavitation effect on the superficial fat tissue. Some patients may see results in their first treatment, most see results after the 3rd + treatment.
Is it covered by insurance?
No, Cavi-Lipo treatments are considered elective and aesthetic and are not covered by insurance.
What is the cost and how many Cavi Lipo treatments will I need?
Cavi Lipo treatment costs are: 1 treatment $189. One treatment may be effective, but to see better results, at least 3 to 6 treatments are recommended. 3 treatments $479. 6 treatments $699. Some clients see results quicker than others. Some clients may need 12 treatments. It also depends on your healthy lifestyle and the area being treated.
You have to be realistic. This is not magic or a quick fix. Cavi-Lipo is especially ideal for 2 types of people: those that are already following a healthy diet and lifestyle and want to remove localized pockets of fat or drop body fat % OR those who want to use the Cavi-Lipo and the recommended lifestyle protocol to “jump start” their slimming efforts as motivation for maintaining a healthier and slimmer lifestyle.
Is it safe?
Yes, there is minimal risk involved in using the Cavi-Lipo therapy and it is considered a safe alternative to invasive procedures such as tumescent liposuction, lipodissolve and other non-invasive devices like the Accent, VelaShape, and Thermage, which rely on heating the tissue and can cause discomfort. None of these have the proven data showing how fat cell size is reduced.
The Cavi-Lipo treatment is 100% non-invasive and causes no bruising, scaring and zero downtime. During the treatment you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used and you can assume normal activities immediately following each treatment.
Is it safe if I have a medical condition?
Yes, with two exceptions. If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, Cavi-Lipo should NOT be used. Additionally, if you have a pacemaker, this treatment is NOT for you. There are no known detrimental risks but potential unknown risks may exist. Cavi-Lipo may not be as effective on patients with diabetes or thyroid disorders where the metabolic system is potentially impaired.
Are there any side effects?
The majority of clients have reported no adverse side effects. Most common are headaches immediately following the treatment or a strong desire to naturally eliminate waste within a day or two following the treatment. This is the body’s way of expelling toxins. It takes approximately 72 + hours for the body to process the material that has been produced.
Results may vary from dramatic first day losses of more than 2 inches to as little as 1/4 inch. For some clients it may take up to a week + to see their results, everyone’s body processes differently.
How long has the Cavi-Lipo been used?
The Cavi-Lipo System made its debut in the USA in spring of 2012. However the systems has been used by tens of thousands of people from around the world for many years.
Is it effective?
Yes, with the Cavi-Lipo treatment and by following the recommended guidelines it has a long proven track record of success.
Results may vary with different tissue structure, treatment area, age, metabolism, medications, and changes in hormones.
How long do results last?
By maintaining a healthy diet and exercise you can expect long-term results. Cavi-Lipo is especially ideal for 2 types of people: those that are already following a healthy diet and lifestyle and want to remove localized pockets of fat or drop body fat % OR those who want to use the Cavi-Lipo and the recommended lifestyle protocol to “jump start” their slimming efforts as motivation for maintaining a healthier and slimmer lifestyle.
Can I do the procedure multiple times? And how soon after my last treatment can I do a second treatment?
Yes, with additional treatments you can expect to see improved results. It is recommended to do a series of 6 in any one area to see best results. I recommend 1 (sometimes 2) treatment(s) per week, depending on the area. Then. we re-evaluate your loss in this series of treatments. You can start an additional series of Cavi-Lipo treatments immediately following your last treatment, if needed.
How soon after pregnancy can I do it?
It is recommended that you wait until after your last postpartum visit with your doctor (usually 6 weeks after birth) to begin your Cavi-Lipo treatment. It is not recommended if you are breast feeding.
How long does it take to begin seeing results?
Some can see results immediately after the first treatment. Others can take up to 2 weeks to see results. Most see the biggest difference after 4-6 sessions. Family and friends often notice the difference, too, within the 3rd week of the Cavi-Lipo sessions.
Is everyone a good candidate for the Cavi-Lipo treatment?
Most are good candidates. Even people who are not overweight can lose inches, such as people wanting a smaller waist, smaller thighs or cellulite areas.
Who is NOT a good candidate for Cavi-Lipo?
People who..
Have cardiac and vascular diseases
Are pregnant or nursing
Are going through chemotherapy
Have liver or kidney disease
Have a pacemaker
Have metal plates in the treatment area
Are under 18 years old (this is absolutely not for children)
