Non-Surgical Techniques of Fat Burning: Ultrasonic Cavitation and Lipodissolve
Because ultrasonic cavitation and lipodissolve are nonsurgical approaches to fat burning, they should be the first alternatives when considering how to rid the body of cellulite and adiposity. Ultrasonic cavitation is a procedure that is gaining attention among the medical community and cosmetic patients alike.
The procedure works because of the processes of compression and depression in localized areas that have noticeable fat deposits. When an ultrasound is applied to the area of the body containing fat and liquids, decompression occurs and creates bubbles in the fat cells and they begin to swell.
Eventually, the cells swell so large, they force the process of compression to begin, and the bubbles get so compressed that they implode. Implosion generates heat that ruptures the fat cell membranes. The fat that escapes these membranes goes to the lymphatic system and gets metabolized.
This process destroys fat cells in a different manner than liposuction, which requires incisions and patient downtime. The price most patients have to pay for ultrasonic cavitation is that they have to do it more than once to get the desired results.
Ultrasonic cavitation is categorized in the same family with lipodissolve treatments, in which solutions that contain vitamins and herbs are injected with very tiny needles about a half an inch into the skin. Although some patients report minimal burning, lipodissolve is virtually painless. The injected solution dissolves fat cells and makes sure that they are metabolized in the same way as they are with ultrasonic cavitation. A single lipodissolve session lasts from 15 to 30 minutes.
The ultrasonic cavitation therapy is relatively new and was first introduced in Milan in 2005 under the name of "cavitazione estetica", while lipodissolve was developed in the mid '90s in Brazil, being the dermatologist P.G. Rittes the first one to test it as an aesthetic procedure. Because they are non-invasive, there are no scars or cuts. They are not intended as a weight loss measure, but rather procedures used to shape the body. Ideal patients are those who cannot seem to get rid of fat cushions even after exercising.
