Want to effectively get rid of cellulite and stubborn fat on the abdomen, thighs, waist, hips or arms? Ultrasonic liposuction is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that can help. It works through ultrasonic cavitation, which breaks down fat cells and turns them into a liquid form. In the initial phase the ultrasound acts on the membranes of the fat cells, damaging them and gradually shrinking them. The ultrasonic vibrations lead to the breakdown of the fat cells, which reduces their number. In the next stage, apart from further fat reduction, lymphatic drainage is stimulated and skin elasticity is strengthened. The released fat and toxins are removed from the body through the sweat glands and the lymphatic and vascular systems, and then metabolised in the liver just like dietary fat. The advantages of ultrasonic liposuction include effective fat reduction in stubborn areas, a short treatment time with no special preparation, no invasiveness or pain (an excellent alternative to surgical liposuction), no damage to surrounding tissue, vessels, nerves or skin, no recovery period and lasting results without the risk of a yo-yo effect.

It is worth remembering that, whatever kind of liposuction is used, these treatments should be seen as help in achieving the figure you want, not as a way of treating excess weight. During the qualifying consultation the practitioner will tell you about the necessary tests and preparation. Increasing your water intake during the fat-removal process is particularly important. During recovery and afterwards, a balanced diet and regular physical activity are key. The fat tissue removed by liposuction does not grow back, but the treatment itself does not prevent it from accumulating again.
