Cavitation
About This Treatment
Ultrasonic cavitation uses low-frequency sound waves to break down stubborn fat deposits beneath the skin without surgery or downtime. The treatment targets localized fat pockets on the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and arms, turning fat cells into liquid that the body naturally eliminates through the lymphatic system. Each session is comfortable and typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes. A course of treatments is recommended for optimal body contouring results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ultrasonic cavitation and how does it work?
Ultrasonic cavitation is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses low-frequency sound waves to break down stubborn fat deposits beneath the skin. The ultrasonic energy creates micro-bubbles within the fat tissue that implode and rupture fat cell membranes, turning the contents into liquid. Your body then naturally eliminates this liquid fat through the lymphatic system over the following days and weeks.
How many cavitation sessions do I need to see results?
Most clients at our Coquitlam, BC clinic see measurable inch loss after just two to three sessions, with optimal results typically achieved over a course of six to twelve treatments spaced one to two weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on the treatment area, the amount of fat present, and your individual body composition. We will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation to outline what you can expect.
Is cavitation painful and is there any downtime?
Cavitation is a painless, comfortable treatment with zero downtime. Most clients describe feeling a gentle warming sensation and hearing a low buzzing sound during the procedure, which typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes. You can return to your normal activities immediately after your session at our Coquitlam clinic. Drinking plenty of water before and after treatment helps your body flush the released fat more efficiently.
What areas of the body can cavitation treat?
Cavitation is highly effective on areas that tend to accumulate stubborn fat, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, upper arms, and back. It is designed for localized fat reduction rather than overall weight loss, making it ideal for clients in the Coquitlam and Greater Vancouver area who are near their target weight but have specific problem areas that resist diet and exercise.
Are cavitation results permanent?
The fat cells destroyed during cavitation are permanently eliminated from the treated area. However, remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight, so maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise is important to preserve your results. Our BC clinic team will provide aftercare guidance to help you maintain your slimmer contours long-term.
