Description
Compressions and rarefactions caused by ultrasound lead to the formation of discontinuities in the fluid cavitation continuity. Cavitations persist for a short time and strike quickly, releasing considerable energy in small volumes, heating the substance, and also ionizing and dissociating the molecules. Physical processes caused by the action of ultrasound cause the following main effects in biological objects:
-
Microvibrations at the cellular and subcellular level
-
Destruction of biomacromolecules
-
Restructuring and damage of biological membranes, changes in membrane permeability
-
thermal effect
-
Destruction of cells and microorganisms
Functions of the cavitation device
The basis of the physiological action of the cavitation device are three main factors: mechanical, physico-chemical and thermal.
The mechanical action of ultrasound is due to a variable acoustic pressure and consists in the vibration micromassage of tissues at cellular and subcellular levels, increasing the permeability of cellular, intracellular and tissue membranes, due to the depolarizing effect on hyaluronic acid, etc.
The physicochemical effect of ultrasound is determined by the fact that the application of mechanical energy causes mechanical resonance in body tissues. Under its influence, the motion of molecules is accelerated and their decomposition into ions increases. The isoelectric state changes, new electric fields are created, and electrical changes occur in cells. The structure of the wave and the state of the hydration shells change. Free radicals and various sonolysis products of biological solvents appear. Electronic excited states arise. Lipid peroxidation processes change. Local stimulation of physicochemical and biochemical processes in tissues and activation of metabolism occur. This is expressed, in particular, in changes in the oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria in the liver and kidneys, increased intensity of tissue respiration, changes in the processes of glycolysis and pentose phosphate activity in carbohydrate metabolism, revitalization of protein and nucleotide metabolism, increased diffusion processes across biological membranes, increased mitotic cell activity, and increased blood and lymph circulation. Ultrasound can be considered a physical catalyst for physicochemical, biophysical, and biochemical processes in the body. Thermal effects at low ultrasound intensities are negligible; they result from the conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy. Heat accumulates mainly at the interfaces between different media due to differences in acoustic resistance, as well as in tissues that primarily absorb ultrasound energy (nerves, bones), and in areas with insufficient blood flow, since the blood draws heat away. Therefore, overheating is possible in these areas.
The effects of all three factors (physico-chemical, mechanical, and thermal) are closely linked and often intertwined. Under the influence of ultrasound, intracellular microflows (rotational movements of the cytoplasm) arise, which stimulate the function of cellular elements and the entire cell.
Microalterative damage to cellular structures, especially lysosome lipoprotein membranes, occurring under the influence of ultrasound energy leads to a disruption of the homeostasis of the intracellular environment and activates defense mechanisms, intracellular regeneration, etc., which is also important for the mechanism of action of ultrasound.
Recommendations for ultrasonic cavitation procedures
The cavitation program uses an ultrasonic cavitation handle emitter designed to perform an ultrasonic cavitation procedure. Under the influence of ultrasonic pulses, a strong vibration effect occurs on the fat cells, resulting in the formation of numerous microbubbles on their membranes and within the cells themselves. This creates a cavitation effect that leads to damage to the adipocyte membranes and the breakdown of even the densest fat deposits. The pulses penetrate deep into the subcutaneous layers, reducing the size and number of fat cells. The heating effect caused by powerful ultrasonic waves accelerates the flow of fluid between fat cells and tissue, promotes the breakdown of fatty acids, and cleanses the lymphatic system of waste products and toxins.
Preparation for the procedure
During the first visit, the specialist should examine the areas intended for treatment and perform the following steps:
-
Obtain a detailed medical and physical history of the patient, including previous treatments
-
To determine if the client is suitable for the procedure, do not accept clients with contraindications
-
Determine why the client wants treatment and what he/she expects as a result of the procedure.
-
Inform the customer about the procedure, the usual treatment results and possible side effects and complaints
-
Advise the customer of precautionary measures
-
Before treatment, the client must sign an agreement based on the information received.
Minutes of the proceedings
-
A special gel is applied to the treated area of the body to cleanse the skin.
-
Select the desired program on the display device
-
During the ultrasound procedure, the person is in a relaxed state, feeling pleasantly warm and slightly tingling.
If any discomfort occurs, the specialist should immediately reduce the power. The duration of the procedure depends on the areas being treated:
-
Forearm area: 5-10 minutes
-
Hip area: 20-25 minutes
-
Buttocks and hip area: 20-25 minutes
-
Back and shoulder blade area: 20-40 minutes
-
Abdominal area: 10-20 minutes
After the process is completed, gel residues are removed from the skin.
Immediately after the session, the client can return to his usual, preferably healthy lifestyle and follow the recommendations of a specialist regarding diet, drinking and caring for his body.
The number of procedures can range from 3 to 10. The average frequency of sessions is once a week. This period is sufficient for the release of destroyed fat. However, the cavitation device mode depends on the individual case and is determined directly by the specialist performing the procedures. If necessary, 2-3 additional procedures are performed after 3-6 months to consolidate the results.
A NOTICE!
-
Before the procedure begins, an ultrasound gel is applied to the applicator.
-
Avoid dropping the applicator
-
To ensure maximum effect, the conductive gel must be applied in large quantities and during the procedure it must be selected under the applicator
-
In one place the applicator cannot be held – at this point there may be an active breakdown of the subcutaneous fat and this can lead to the formation of so-called "pits"
-
Before performing the procedure, all metal decorations should be removed so as not to obstruct the ion pulse
-
Sensitive skin may swell slightly; this effect is normal and short-lived.
