Body Sculpting

Non-surgical body sculpting refers to a range of cosmetic treatments designed to reduce fat, tighten skin, and improve body contours without surgery. Techniques include cryolipolysis (fat freezing), laser lipolysis (laser fat removal), EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), and ultrasonic cavitation.

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.It's effective in reducing fat and cellulite, leading to a smoother and more contoured body shape.

Ultrasonic or ultrasound cavitation is the use of ultrasound technology to break down fat cells below the skin. It is a non-surgical method of reducing cellulite and localized fat. 

This procedure involves applying pressure on fat cells through ultrasonic vibrations. The pressure is high enough to make the fat cells break down into a liquid form. The body can then get rid of it as waste through your urine.

The broken-down fat cells go from the body to the liver where they are excreted as waste. This method of treatment is used along with other weight loss programs to help with getting rid of excessive fat. It is a preferred method to other invasive procedures of eliminating body fat. It is important to note that your weight could return if you consume a high-calorie diet.

Results can vary depending on the treatment type, the area being treated, and the individual's body response. Generally, some improvements may be noticeable within a few weeks, with more significant results appearing within 2 to 4 months after a series of treatments.

Yes, when performed by a qualified and experienced professional, body sculpting treatments are generally safe. Each technique has undergone clinical trials to ensure its safety and efficacy.

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women
• Persons showing skinfold lower than 2 cm
• Infection or inflammation in the region where the procedure will be done
• Individuals with a history of malignancies
• People with a cardiac pacemaker or other metal implants
• Persons with coagulation disorders or taking medication that affects blood clotting
• Individuals with serious medical conditions like diabetes and osteoporosis

Ultrasonic cavitation is a safe FDA approved procedure. 

Our non-surgical body sculpting treatments require minimal to no downtime, allowing clients to return to their daily activities immediately or shortly after the procedure.

The number of sessions needed varies based on the treatment modality, the area being treated, and individual goals. Typically, a series of treatments are recommended for optimal results. Your first treatment will include a free consultation and help you determine the amount and frequency of treatments you’ll need.

The results can be long-lasting, especially when maintained with a healthy lifestyle. While the treated fat cells are permanently removed or destroyed, it's important to continue managing weight through diet and exercise to prevent new fat from forming in untreated areas.

The ultrasonic cavitation process begins with the application of a specialized gel on the targeted area. A handheld device emitting high-frequency ultrasound waves is then moved over the skin’s surface. These waves penetrate deep into the subcutaneous fat layer, disrupting fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. The body’s lymphatic system plays a crucial role in eliminating the broken-down fat, gradually revealing the improved shape.

Ultrasonic cavitation is suitable for individuals who are close to their target weight but struggle with stubborn fat pockets. It is not a substitute for weight loss, but rather a refinement technique. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A consultation with the experts at Oceanside Aesthetics & Wellness can help determine if ultrasonic cavitation aligns with your goals.

Since the procedure is customized according to an individual's needs, it might take longer for some than others. However, the standard treatment should be completed in one to three sessions with two weeks between every session depending on the treatment. Each session is around 45 to 75 minutes. It takes about 6 to 12 weeks to see the results of ultrasonic cavitation.

One of the standout features of ultrasonic cavitation is its minimal aftercare requirements. Since it is non-invasive, there is no need for bandages or extensive downtime. However, staying hydrated and engaging in light exercise can aid the body’s natural fat elimination processes. Results will continue to develop over the weeks following the session.

Using non-invasive methods to reduce body fat has its advantages and disadvantages.

Pros:

• Requires little to no downtime
• Results last for a long time with a healthy lifestyle
• Causes minimum side effects
• Leaves no scars
• No anesthesia is needed
• Results occur gradually, so you can maintain discretion about the treatment

Cons:

• Lesser loss of weight compared to invasive methods like liposuction
• May be inefficient for individuals with a lot of weight to lose
• May require complementing with other weight loss methods for desired results
• It is impossible to know the exact amount of fat lost‌‌

You must continue consuming a healthy and balanced diet and getting adequate fluids after undergoing ultrasonic cavitation. Consider having a low-calorie diet by eating fewer carbohydrates and foods with a low glycemic index (e.g. fruits and vegetables).
