“Ultracavitation refers to a piece of equipment that emits sound waves of varied frequency and high intensity. These ultrasonic waves promote the formation of gas or vapor microbubbles that are subject to the considerable negative or positive pressure that is generated in the ultrasonic field. With the same way it occurs with microbubbles, the subcutaneous tissue will also respond to the ultrasound frequency, and through unstable cavitation, after the implosion of the microbubbles, the adipocyte membrane may be ruptured, promoting extravasation of the fat. The elimination of this fat occurs through physiological pathways; the triglycerides of fat cells that have been cavitated are eliminated in the interstitial fluid where they are successively taken through the lymphatic or venous system to the liver, where they are metabolized again.”
“The radio frequency uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to produce heat at the cutaneous and the subcutaneous levels. The mechanism of action, through the vibration of water molecules, transforms the electromagnetic energy into thermal”
“…The RF mechanism of fat reduction occurs by the generation of thermal stimulation of adipocyte metabolism, occurring through enzymatic degradation by lipase-mediated triglycerides, apoptosis, and adipocyte rupture…”
The application of the two therapeutic modalities at the same time and in the same area is called ultrafrequency. It is suggested that the effects of the two intervention modalities overlap.7 Thus, the potentiation of these combined techniques may favor the reduction of localized adiposity through mechanical waves. Furthermore, radio frequency modulates the fibroblasts and collagen functions, and consequently, minimizes flaccidity.
