4D Cavitation Inch Loss

If you are looking to reduce the circumference of your thighs, hips, stomach or get rid of stubborn pockets of fat that won’t shift no matter how much you diet and exercise, then 4D Cavitation Inch Loss is for you. Ultrasound technology targets your areas of concern. During cavitation, fat cells are instantly and permanently broken down.

FAQs

Ultrasound technology works by transmission of ultra-high frequency sound wave energy into subdermal tissues. This targets the area Immediately beneath the treatment head to a consistent depth of 8-10mm. This energy impacts the adipocytes (fat cells), forming low pressure bubbles between the fat cells, weakening cell cohesion and rupturing the cell membranes. The sound wave form then pulverises the fat cells, driving out the fat cell contents into the interstitial space, where lymphatic drainage removes them to be used in the normal metabolic process.

Tummy, thighs/legs, buttocks, back fat, flanks (love handles) arms (bingo wings).

No, the treatment is non-invasive and painless. You may feel a warming sensation on the area being treated and a slight feeling of vibration in the fat layer. There is also a slight ringing/tweeting in the ears caused by the ultrasound waves passing through your tissues. This is completely safe, normal and stops as soon as the cavitation head is removed from the treatment area.

No. After treatment you carry on with life, but please follow the aftercare advice.

After cavitation, the fat is removed naturally by the body. The only side effects may be that you feel a little thirsty as the body wants to flush these waste products, so drink 1.5-2 litres of water a day for 5-7 days after treatment or daily for the duration of your course. You may have some redness around the treated area and mild bruising, both which are very normal, temporary and will subside.

Yes you do. Cavitation requires your dedication. If treatment instruction is not followed, the liquified fat may re-settle in your body and the desired results may not be achieved.

Pre-treatment – Do not drink alcohol in the 24hrs prior to treatment. Do not drink caffeine within 2hrs before or 2hrs after treatment. Drink 1.5 litres of water on the day of treatment. (Sip throughout the day. If you drink it all just before treatment, you will may feel bloated and uncomfortable during treatment).

Aftercare – Exercise for 20-30mins (ideally cardio exercise) within 24-48hrs following your treatment. Drink approximately 1.5-2 litres of water daily and avoid alcohol for at least 24hrs. It is also advised to eat a healthy, well balanced diet.

Generally, a course of 6 treatments is advised but more maybe required to reach the desired results. However, it is important that your expectations are realistic.
(I also advise anyone who is going to undertake this treatment that each person’s body will react differently and therefore results are not guaranteed)

A course can be completed within 3 weeks. You can have 2 treatments per week, 73 hours apart.

Results will be permanent and long-lasting as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you gain weight after the treatment, it will be all over your body and not just in that area as fat cells have been. It is good to see 4D Cavitation as part of a bigger picture, where you are committed to becoming healthier, have a good diet, don’t drink regularly to excess and take some regular exercise as well as ensuring your body is well hydrated.

Cavitation is an advanced electrical treatment, therefore it may not be suitable for some clients. Contraindications to treatment are as follows, but please be aware this list is not conclusive and there may be other conditions precluding you from cavitation.

  • Pacemaker or internal defibrillator
  • Any form of prosthesis, replacement joint or metal plates in the treated area
  • Severe concurrent conditions such as cardiac disorders
  • Pregnancy and nursing
  • Any active skin condition in the treatment area such as sores, psoriasis, eczema or undiagnosed rashes
  • Any surgical procedure within the area in the last 3 months or before complete healing
  • Any form of cancer or undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy
  • Impaired immune system such as AIDS and HIV, autoimmune disease or use of immune-suppressive medications
  • Organ failure such as kidney failure, liver failure or fatty liver
  • High or low blood pressure
  • Epilepsy
  • Varicosity in the treatment area or surrounding areas, suffering from haemophilia or susceptible to severe bruising
  • Poorly controlled endocrine disorders, such as diabetes or polycystic ovaries

Radio Frequency Skin Tightening

Loose skin can be found in many places on our bodies and this can be as a result of pregnancy, weight loss or simply due to the natural (yet harsh) ageing process. In many cases exercise will not rectify the problem. Radio Frequency Skin Tightening treatment can give a lifting and tightening effect, as well as a slimming and smoother appearance as new collagen is produced in a natural and healthy way.

FAQs

RF (Radio Frequency) skin tightening uses high frequency radio waves of energy to selectively heat the sub-dermal connective tissues. The application of heat causes existing collagen to contract, giving a tightening effect, and denatures or breaks down the old collagen to stimulate re-growth of new fibres.
During the RF treatment three processes happen: Existing collagen tissues shrink giving an immediate tightening effect to the skin, Old, fibrous collagen is broken down by the body and Fibroblasts (the cells that create the new collagen) are stimulated and create fresh, new, supple collagen.

Loose skin can be found in many places on our bodies and this can be as a result of pregnancy, weight loss or simply due to the natural (yet harsh) ageing process. In many cases exercise will not rectify the problem. Our Skin Tightening treatment can give an immediate lifting and tightening effect, as well as a slimming and smoother appearance as new collagen is produced in a natural and healthy way. Areas that can be treated with Radio Frequency are; stomach, bottom, back, legs (including knees and ankles), décolletage.

Treatments are taken at 2 week intervals. The fresh collagen fibres are laid down over a 3-6 month period and last up to 2 years. Over time and with successive treatments, new collagen fibres are formed resulting in a firmer, plumper, fresher and more youthful appearance.

Generally, a course of 6 treatments is advised but more maybe required to reach the desired results. However, it is important that your expectations are realistic, but I will be able to help and advise.

Yes. This treatment applies focused Radio Frequency (RF) to precisely target and heat collagen fibres within the treatment area. The angry red/purple stretch marks that many people are left with after childbirth, sudden weight gain or loss, are a result of the connective tissues within the dermis being ruptured, overstretched and not re-forming. Areas that can be treated: legs, buttocks, upper arms and abdomen.

Technically speaking there are no treatments that can truly get rid of stretch marks. However, treating with RF can significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Changing them from angry red/purple lines to a barely noticeable silvery appearance.

A course of 6 treatments is generally required.

Radio Frequency may not be suitable for some clients. Contraindications to treatment are as follows, but please be aware this list is not conclusive and there may be other conditions precluding you from RF.

  • Pacemaler or internal defibrillator
  • Any form of prosthesis, replacement joint or metal plates in the treated area
  • Severe concurrent conditions such as cardiac disorders
  • Pregnancy and nursing
  • Any active skin condition in the treatment area such as sores, psoriasis, eczema or undiagnosed rashes
  • Any surgical procedure within the area in the last 3 months or before complete healing
  • Any form of cancer, undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or pre malignant moles
  • Impaired immune system such as AIDS and HIV, autoimmune disease or use of immune-suppressive medications
  • Diseases which may be stimulated by light at the wavelengths used such as history of systemic lupus, erythematosus, porphyria and epilepsy
  • Organ failure such as kidney failure, liver failure or fatty liver
  • High or low blood pressure
  • Epilepsy
  • Varicosity in the treatment area or surrounding areas, suffering from haemophilia or susceptible to severe bruising
  • Poorly controlled endocrine disorders, such as diabetes or polycystic ovaries

4D Cavitation & Radio Frequency Combined

By combining 4D cavitation and RF you are able to achieve a reduction of fat cells, tighten skin and improve the appearance of cellulite, all of which will improve body shape. These two treatments together provide very effective results.
