The treatment

What is Fat cavitation?

Fat cavitation sculpts your figure and refines your silhouette by reducing stubborn pockets of fat, without invasive surgery like liposuction.

It uses focused ultrasound to break down fat in a targeted area, which your body then clears naturally through its own lymphatic system. It's non-surgical, non-invasive and needs no anaesthesia or downtime, so you can fit it around your normal week and get straight back to your day afterwards.

How it works

How your treatment works.

Fat cavitation targets fat you can't shift through diet and exercise alone, without surgery like liposuction.

Focused ultrasound is applied to the treatment area, breaking the contents of the fat cells down into a liquid.
Those released fatty acids are dispersed and processed through your lymphatic system, your body's natural filtration system.
The energy only affects the targeted fatty area, so surrounding tissue isn't touched.
Because your body clears the fat over the following days, drinking plenty of water and keeping active helps the process along.

What to expect

Appointment

Up to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the area (we allow around 10 minutes per A5-sized area)

Downtime

None

Sessions

6 to 12, spaced about a week apart

How to care for your skin afterwards

Been here before?

You've probably already spent money on skin that didn't change.

Real skin concerns don't respond to guesswork, or to whatever machine a clinic happens to own. They respond to the right treatment, at the right depth, in the right order. That is the difference between spending on your skin and actually solving it.

Before you book

The honest bit: what's normal, and when to wait.

Every skin is different. Here is what tends to happen afterwards, and the times it is worth pausing to check with your therapist first.

What's normal afterwards

Fat cavitation is non-invasive and needs no recovery time. During the session you'll feel gentle warmth in the treated area, and you may hear a faint buzzing sound as the ultrasound works.

Afterwards, the area can look slightly pink or feel a little warm for a short while, which settles on its own.

When to check with us first

Fat cavitation suits most healthy adults, but it isn't right for everyone. Please let us know before you book if any of the following apply to you, so we can make sure it's safe and worthwhile:

You're pregnant or breastfeeding
You have a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device
You have a known heart, liver or kidney condition
You have metal implants in the area to be treated
You're being treated for cancer, or have an active infection or open skin in the area

If you're not sure, ask us at your consultation and we'll talk it through.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

Everything worth knowing before your appointment. Still unsure which treatment suits you? A quick consultation sorts it out.

How does fat cavitation actually work?

Fat cavitation uses low-frequency ultrasound, a well-established non-invasive technology, to target the fat cells in a specific area.

The ultrasound energy breaks down the contents of those fat cells into a liquid. Your body then clears the released fatty acids through the lymphatic system, its own natural filtration process. The energy is focused on the fatty area being treated, so the surrounding tissue is left alone.

Which areas can it treat?

Fat cavitation works on the most common areas of stubborn fat, including:

Abdomen and 'love handles'
Bra line
Buttocks and thighs
Upper arms

It's also effective at reducing the look of cellulite and smoothing problem areas like the buttocks and thighs.

What does Fat Cavitation feel like?

It's non-surgical, non-invasive and needs no anaesthesia. Most people find it painless and comfortable, and quite a few find the gentle warmth in the treated area relaxing.

How do I book an appointment?

Book online any time, or call the clinic during opening hours. New to a treatment? A short skin consultation is the best place to start.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Zip is available at checkout, so you can pay over time, and our skin memberships spread the cost of a course. Packages can be used up to 12 months later.

Will I need a consultation first?

For most advanced treatments, yes. A consultation checks your skin and history so your plan is safe, and it counts toward your treatment. Browse all treatments or ask us which suits you.

Where are you and is there parking?

You will find the clinic in the heart of Cronulla, with street parking close by. Full directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
