Cryolipolysis VS Cavitation

The need for non-surgical and non-invasive technology is rising all the time. These gadgets have steadily acquired traction in the elimination of localized fat and the enhancement of body sculpting. Cryolipolysis and Cavitation are two non-surgical fat removal therapies that have proven effective. Both of these techniques aid in the breakdown of cells to reduce fat deposits in problematic locations.

 

Both of them are recognized as non-surgical fat reduction procedures. However, they employ completely distinct methodologies. I'll walk you through how they function and why you don't necessarily have to choose one over the other. Fat freezing and Cavitation are more effective on specific kinds of fat and specific body locations.

 

Similarities

Cryolipolysis and Cavitation are both:

• Both of these are recognized non-surgical fat-removal therapies. Both of these approaches successfully remove stubborn pockets of fat without surgery or anesthesia.
• Both are effective at removing hard fat.
• Frequency waves are used to treat both.

 

Differences In The Procedure

Although both treatments aid in eliminating fat from the body, the critical distinction is in the type of process. Ultrasonic cavitation differs from cryolipolysis because the fat removal treatment uses ultrasound and low-frequency sound waves to produce its impact.

 

This is an excellent way to reduce cellulite, more generalized fat, and cavitation benefits in body reshaping. Cryolipolysis, on the other hand, uses regulated low temperatures in the region of concern and is significantly more suited and successful in treating more targeted fat buildup and fat pockets that can be seized.

 

Each cavitation fat therapy session lasts around 40 minutes to an hour, and 6-12 treatments spaced 5-7 days apart are advised for best results (removal of up to 12cm of fat). These outcomes vary from person to person. However, patients often see a significant change in fat loss between 6-12 weeks.

 

Cryolipolysis, on the other hand, is a one-time, 45-minute to one-hour therapy that can take 6-10 weeks to complete. A more effective outcome can be achieved by combining dietary components as well.

 

The outcomes of cavitation/fat-melting therapy are thought to be seen sooner than those of cryolipolysis, where benefits are only visible after a month of treatment. Cryolipolysis, on the other hand, produces more stable and long-term consequences than cavitation. Cavitation needs a higher number of treatment sessions to get comparable results.

 

Is lipo cavitation a safe procedure? Yes, and cavitation is as well. Both treatments are painless and pose low hazards. Cavitation may cause bruising, minor skin irritation, and the appearance of a pink tint on the treated region of the skin. Bruising, numbness, and pigmentation may develop due to cryolipolysis therapy.

 

Fat Destiny In Both Procedures

The fat is then transferred to its final location after these two stages.

• The targeted fat pocket is frozen during cryolipolysis. Around 30% of the cells die here, and the free fats, membranes, and toxins trapped within the fat cells are removed via the body's lymphatic system.
• Low-frequency sound waves are generated and administered to the targeted area during the cavitation technique, causing the fat cells to vibrate quickly, resulting in pressure buildup within the fat cells. Fat cells rupture when the pressure reaches a critical level, and their contents are expelled into the body.

 

Results

These two processes yielded the following outcomes:

• Ultrasonic Cavitation is a weight-loss procedure that reduces fat accumulation in specific places. The fat cells liquify and release their contents as a result of mild heat and vibration.
• Cooling methods are used in cryolipolysis to enable a non-invasive localized fat reduction in troublesome body regions. The cooling approach penetrates to around 2 cm below the skin's surface and is a highly efficient method of treating and reducing fat.

 

Treatment Sessions

Treatments in Cavitation usually are limited to 20 minutes each section, with a maximum of two segments treated per session. It usually takes five to seven days to ensure that all of the free fats, membranes, and toxins that may have been trapped inside the fat cells are discharged through the lymphatic system. Up to 12 cm of fat can be removed in six to twelve sessions in isolated locations.

 

Most Cryolipolysis patients will experience notable effects soon after their first treatment, often losing 1 to 2cm, if not more. The best outcomes commonly occur after 2 to 3 weeks, and 3 to 6 sessions are suggested to enhance these results. Cryolipolysis treatments typically last 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the treatment region. These sessions can be done every two weeks.

 

In terms of caveats

Cavitation is a therapy that includes massaging the fatty tissue using a paddle-like device. Large regions that may not be suited for Fat Freeze can be treated. Cavitation is generally the best option if the fat is difficult to compress or spread across a more extensive region.

 

Before applying the head in Cryolipolysis, the therapist will shield your skin with a specific barrier to prevent frostbite. The fat must be pliable enough to be sucked into the applicator for it to operate.

 

Price

The fee is determined by the area of the body being treated. The lower the cost, the smaller the treatment area. Treating several regions might also be expensive. Other factors influencing the overall cost of cryolipolysis therapy include your location, physician, and any follow-up sessions you may require. The usual cost, however, is between $2,000 and $4,000 each session.

 

In general, ultrasonic cavitation is less costly than conventional liposuction. The cost varies depending on the region being treated and whether you require further sessions, but the average is roughly $250-$350 for each treatment.

 

Treatment areas

Ultrasonic cavitation is more effective in areas with concentrated fat. The abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, and upper arms are examples of such places. This technique cannot be performed on bodily parts like the head, neck, and other bony sections of the body.

 

The Food and Drug Administration has licensed Cryolipolysis to treat fat deposits behind the chin, upper arms, inner and outer thighs, belly, hip/flank, upper back ("brassiere rolls"), lower back, and beneath the buttocks.

 

Side Effects

Most cavitation patients find the process to be painless and relaxing. There may be mild heat and reddening during the treatment, but it is not painful. Some people experience little pain due to the low-frequency ultrasonic noise, but it is safe.

 

Fat freezing and cavitation are both non-invasive procedures that do not require anesthesia. In a painless process, the therapy provides a significant and long-lasting decrease in localized fat deposits. There are no adverse side effects or scars.

 

Disclaimer

These procedures can reduce localized or widespread fat and shape certain body regions while treating cellulite and increasing skin elasticity. Most of these effects generally last when the proper healthy eating habits are implemented to promote maintenance. Some patients may suffer discomfort during the operation owing to the ultrasonic noise from the fat freezing or a chilly sensation from the cryolipolysis devices; however, this does not harm the patient.

 

Conclusion

Fat Freeze and Cavitation have been shown to destroy fat cells and can provide decent outcomes if done correctly. If you can get a fair handful of fat, it should be safe to freeze. The fat pocket will be decreased by one-third 2-3 months following therapy.

 

Cavitation is typically a better option if the fat is more extensive or difficult to grasp. Plus, if you have loose skin or cellulite in addition to obesity, Cavitation may be a better option because it may be combined with other technologies. Cavitation requires 6-8 sessions for optimal results, but you will see benefits immediately.
