Introduction: An honest ultrasonic cavitation review
We’ve seen a lot of buzz around ultrasonic cavitation lately, but is it really the miracle fat-loss treatment it’s made out to be?
As aesthetic professionals with years of experience, we’ve encountered many customers at Wellaholic asking about this trendy procedure. While some swear by its results, others have been left disappointed. In our time working with body contouring treatments, we’ve learned that no single solution works for everyone. Through our work at Wellaholic and Laser Clinics Australia, we’ve gained insights into what ultrasonic cavitation can and can’t do.
In this article, we’ll give you our honest take on this treatment, cutting through the hype to help you decide if it’s right for you.
What Actually is Ultrasonic Cavitation?
Ultrasonic cavitation uses low-frequency sound waves to break down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.
The ultrasound waves create tiny bubbles around the fat deposits. These bubbles grow and eventually implode, causing the fat cells to rupture and release their contents. The liquefied fat is then processed through the lymphatic system and liver before being excreted. While results can be seen after the first session, a series of treatments is usually recommended for best results. Ultrasonic cavitation is most effective on areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs and upper arms. It’s a safe, painless way to contour the body without surgery or downtime.
What is causing the hype around cavitation for slimming?
I’m excited to share my thoughts on why ultrasonic cavitation is becoming so popular for slimming. Here are some key reasons why it is gaining popularity:
- Non-invasive and painless: Unlike liposuction, ultrasonic cavitation doesn’t require any incisions, anaesthesia or recovery time. The procedure is painless, with most people only feeling a gentle warming sensation during treatment.
- Targets stubborn fat deposits: Ultrasonic cavitation is effective at reducing fat in troublesome areas like the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, back, and arms that are resistant to diet and exercise alone. It helps eliminate cellulite and contour the body.
- Convenient with no downtime: Treatment sessions only take 20–60 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. There is zero downtime, allowing you to immediately resume normal activities after a session.
- Safe with minimal risks: When performed by a trained provider, ultrasonic cavitation has very few side effects and carries much lower risk compared to surgical procedures like liposuction. Common minor side effects like redness, swelling or bruising are temporary.
- Provides visible results: Many people see a noticeable reduction in circumference after the first session, with optimal results usually seen after a series of 6–12 treatments. The destroyed fat cells are permanently eliminated from the body.
- Improves skin tone and texture: In addition to reducing fat deposits, the ultrasound energy helps to tighten and tone the skin in the treated areas for a smoother, firmer appearance. This provides more comprehensive body contouring results.
While ultrasonic cavitation is not a magic solution or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, it provides an appealing option for those seeking to refine their figure and reduce stubborn fat without surgery. As with any cosmetic treatment, it’s important to consult with a qualified provider, have realistic expectations, and commit to maintaining the results with proper diet and exercise habits.
“Honest opinions make the best reviews. The true value of ultrasonic cavitation is its ability to deliver promised results.”
The Myths: What the Ultrasonic Cavitation treatment can’t do
Ultrasonic Cavitation May Not Help You Lose Weight!
One of the biggest myths is that Ultrasonic Cavitation can help you lose weight. While the treatment can indeed help reduce stubborn fat in targeted areas, it’s not a magic solution for overall weight loss.
A healthy diet and regular exercise are still crucial for maintaining a healthy weight. Another misconception is that the results are permanent. While the fat cells destroyed during the treatment won’t return, it’s still possible to gain weight if you don’t maintain a healthy lifestyle.
So, while Ultrasonic Cavitation can be a fantastic tool for body contouring, it’s not a one-and-done solution. It works best when combined with a balanced approach to health and wellness.
Which body parts can be treated?
Ultrasonic cavitation works best on parts with localized fat. Such areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, and upper arms. This procedure cannot be performed on body parts like the head, neck, and other bony areas of the body.
Who should avoid ultrasonic cavitation?
Ultrasonic cavitation is generally safe and painless, but it is not suitable for everyone. Individuals with acute or contagious disease, HIV, a history of cancer, kidney failure, liver failure, fatty liver, implant devices such as pacemakers or electrical prosthesis, epilepsy or MS should not undergo ultrasonic cavitation, non-surgical “liposuction” or any ultrasonic treatment for fat deposition. These conditions may interfere with the effectiveness or safety of the procedure.
The reality: what the Ultrasonic Cavitation treatment can do?
Which areas can be treated? Ultrasonic fat cavitation is highly effective in reducing fat in stubborn areas such as:
- Hips
- Thighs
- Stomach
- Love handles
- Buttocks
These are areas where fat tends to accumulate and resist diet and exercise. Ultrasonic fat cavitation can help you achieve a slimmer and more contoured shape.
Why is ultrasonic fat cavitation good for reducing stomach fat?
Ultrasonic fat cavitation effectively reduces stomach fat by targeting the area, similar to a lymphatic massage that promotes blood circulation.
It’s a great spot treatment for any area of the body with pockets of fat, like the belly. You will notice immediate results after your first treatment or session.
Another reason that ultrasonic fat cavitation is good for reducing stomach fat is because it’s non-invasive and painless. Unlike liposuction or other surgical methods, ultrasonic fat cavitation does not involve any cuts, scars, anesthesia, or downtime. You can resume your normal activities right after the procedure.
In the Asia and Pacific region, two out of every five adults in the region are either overweight or obese.
Is Ultrasonic Cavitation right for me?
How to prepare for fat cavitation.
Losing weight with fat cavitation isn’t as simple as just stepping into an office and getting the procedure done. You’ll need to commit to keeping your side of the deal, so you can get good results. This includes:
- To eat healthily, follow a balanced diet with fewer calories, fat, and sugar, and more protein, fiber, and vitamins. This will help you maintain a healthy weight and prevent your body from storing more fat.
- Drink at least 2 liters of water every day, especially before and after WellaCavi treatments. Drinking more water helps your body eliminate fatty acids produced by your fat cells.
- It is important to exercise regularly. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day. You can choose activities such as walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming. This will help you burn calories, boost your metabolism, and tone your muscles.
It’s important to not try to cut corners on the cost of this procedure. If you opt for the cheapest clinic, you probably won’t get the best results. As with all things, you get what you pay for.
Fortunately, at Wellaholic, we offer WellaCavi Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation, from just S$199 for a session targeting 2 body parts. This makes it affordable for you to undergo regular Ultrasonic Cavitation treatments.

Can I Do Too Much Ultrasonic Cavitation?
Ultrasonic fat cavitation is a popular cosmetic treatment that uses ultrasound waves to break down fat cells. The fat cells are removed via lymphatic drainage. But can you do too much of it?
What are the risks of ultrasonic fat cavitation? Ultrasonic fat cavitation is generally safe and effective when used as directed. Experts warn that excessive ultrasonic fat cavitation can cause side effects such as skin irritation, bruising, and numbness. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but they can be uncomfortable and unsightly.
Some of the factors that can increase the risk of side effects are:
- Using a low-quality or faulty device. You should only use a device that is approved by the relevant authorities and has a good reputation. You should also check the device for any defects or damages before using it.
- Using too much pressure or intensity. Follow your doctor’s or aesthetician’s instructions on the amount of pressure or intensity to apply to your skin. You should also avoid applying too much pressure or intensity to sensitive areas like the face, neck, chest, etc.
- Having certain medical conditions or medications. Talk to your doctor or skincare specialist before trying ultrasonic fat cavitation if you have medical conditions or take medication that can impact your skin or blood circulation. Some examples are diabetes, heart disease, blood thinners, etc.
Are the Results from Ultrasonic Cavitation Permanent?
Yes, the fat cells destroyed during the treatment are permanently gone. However, if you gain weight after the treatment, new fat cells can develop. That’s why it’s crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise after your cavitation sessions.
Think of it this way – cavitation is a fantastic kickstart to your body shaping journey, but the long-term results are up to you. It’s like getting a fresh haircut. The cut is permanent, but how your hair looks months later depends on how you care for it.
In my experience, clients who adopt healthy habits after their cavitation treatments tend to see the best, longest-lasting results. So while cavitation can definitely help you achieve the body you want, it’s the changes you make after your treatments that will keep you looking and feeling your best.

What else Do I Need to Know about Ultrasonic Cavitation?
Risks Associated with Ultrasonic Cavitation.
Ultrasound cavitation carries some risks, like any medical or aesthetic procedure. The most common risks associated with the treatment include skin irritation and burns due to overheating of the treated area.
Additionally, patients may experience temporary discomfort during the treatment as each cell disruption creates a pressure wave in the body. To help your body remove broken down fat cells, drink plenty of water to support your lymphatic system.
Patience is Key for Results.
Ultrasonic cavitation can reduce fat deposits, but the results may not be immediately visible. In fact, it can take several weeks or even months before they become visible. Be patient and persistent with your treatments. Consistent effort and a healthy lifestyle will help you achieve your desired results.
Conclusion
Ultrasonic cavitation is not a magic solution for losing fat quickly in specific areas. It’s essential to have realistic expectations and maintain a healthy lifestyle. It’s crucial to consider the potential risks and to understand that results may take time and effort to achieve.
Before trying ultrasonic cavitation, it’s important to research and consult with a certified expert to see if this aesthetic procedure is right for you.
Approach ultrasonic cavitation with an open mind and balanced perspective. It could be a helpful tool for achieving your body goals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does ultrasound cavitation really work?
Yes, ultrasound cavitation can be effective for reducing fat in targeted areas of the body. I’ve seen many clients achieve noticeable results, especially when they commit to a series of treatments. The ultrasound waves break down fat cells, which your body then eliminates through its natural processes. While it’s not a magic solution for weight loss, cavitation can help contour problem spots when combined with a healthy lifestyle. It’s a safer alternative to surgical options like liposuction. To get the best outcome, I recommend a personalized treatment plan and discussing your goals during a consultation.
Does cavitation work for belly fat?
Yes, ultrasonic cavitation can effectively target and reduce belly fat. The ultrasound waves break down fat cells in the abdominal area, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. I’ve seen many clients achieve a slimmer, more sculpted midsection with a series of cavitation treatments. While it’s not a magic solution for weight loss, it can help contour problem areas when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. Realistic expectations are key – results are more subtle compared to liposuction and multiple sessions are usually needed for optimal outcomes[4][14]. But for those looking to non-invasively tackle stubborn tummy fat, ultrasonic cavitation is definitely worth considering.
How many ultrasonic cavitation sessions will I need?
Based on my experience, most customers will need between 8 to 12 weekly sessions of ultrasonic cavitation to see optimal fat reduction results. The exact number depends on factors like your age, weight, the specific body area being treated, and your individual body composition and metabolism. I usually recommend starting with 8 sessions, spaced 1 week apart. After that, we assess your results and determine if additional treatments are needed to achieve your goals. With each session, you’ll notice gradual improvements in circumference reduction and body contouring. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine will help enhance and prolong your results.
What parts of the body can ultrasonic cavitation be used on?
At Wellaholic, we use ultrasonic cavitation to target stubborn fat deposits on various parts of the body. This non-invasive treatment works best on areas with localized fat, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, and upper arms. It’s important to note that ultrasonic cavitation cannot be performed on the head, neck, or other bony areas. We customize each treatment plan to address your specific concerns and help you achieve the body contouring results you desire.
Are home cavitation machines effective?
As an aesthetics expert with over a decade of experience, I believe home cavitation machines can provide some benefits, but they are not as effective as professional treatments. Home devices have lower power and may require more sessions to see results. They also come with risks if not used properly, such as skin irritation or burns. While home cavitation can help with minor fat reduction and body contouring, it’s best to combine it with a healthy diet and exercise for optimal results. For significant fat loss, I recommend seeking professional cavitation treatments instead.
Why did France ban ultrasonic cavitation?
France temporarily banned ultrasonic cavitation in 2011 due to concerns about its safety and effectiveness. The French health authorities wanted to investigate the risks after receiving reports of adverse events. However, the ban was quickly reversed by the French Supreme Court, which found inconsistencies in the broad prohibition of various non-invasive fat reduction methods. Ultrasonic cavitation is now permitted again in France as a non-invasive technique, as long as it does not penetrate the skin.
