How Does 4D Cavi (Ultrasonic Cavitation) Inch Loss Work?

The 4D Cavi treatment head emits ultrasonic sound energy at 40-50kHz at two separate modulations, which penetrates the skin to a depth of approximately 8-9mm. This is just deep enough to reach the subcutaneous fat layer. This causes the following distinct therapeutic effects :-

• Low pressure bubbles are formed within the fat cells (known as “Adipocytes”), causing the cell membranes to rupture, releasing the contents into the space between the fat cells (the “interstitial space”).
• The ultrasonic sound energy pulverises the adipocytes, causing the cell membranes to rupture and forcing the fat cell contents to release their contents.
• The contents of the fat cells (Fatty Acids, Triglycerides and water) spill out from the broken cell membranes and are released into the interstitial space. This mechanism of action is not “liquefaction of fat”, it is the instant emptying out of the cells rather than the destruction of them. (referred to as lipolysis).
• The second modulation causes a positive pressure wave through the interstitial space, promoting accelerated lymphatic drainage, to accelerate the results beyond anything you may have experienced before!

This amazing process takes place with no affect to the neighbouring structures such as skin, blood vessels, and peripheral nerves. Within 48 hours after treatment, undertaking some form of (preferably cardio vascular) exercise to raise your heart rate, therefore increase your metabolic rate, will ensure you retain the results delivered during the treatment. Your body will use the fuel available in your blood stream, which includes the Fatty Acids and Triglycerides released by the 4D Cavi treatments. Once the “fuel” in the bloodstream has been used up, your Liver will begin to target the remaining fat deposits (starting with those most easily broken down – the treated areas) for further “fuel”. Therefore, the more exercise you undertake between treatments, the better your results will be! 4D Cavi Inch Loss is a fantastic means of “reminding” your body about those long dormant fat deposits that no amount of exercise seems to be able to target. This is why we find 4D Cavi delivers simply astonishing results for such a wide variety of clients!!! Even if you’ve tried other ultrasonic cavitation treatments before (such as 3D Lipo, or Cavi Sculpt), they simply can’t compare to the amazing results we can achieve with our all new 4D Cavi treatments! Each “treatment” session comprises 20 minutes of 4D Cavi application.

If you are a healthy adult, over the age of 18 and capable of performing a little regular exercise, to burn off the “fuel” released by the treatments, the answer is usually a resounding “YES”!!! However, there are some medical conditions (referred to as “Contra-indications”) that mean we CANNOT treat you. This is in the best interest of your health and to ensure there are no complications with your condition, so please don’t be offended if we are unable to treat you as a result of one of these conditions being present :-

• Pacemaker or internal defibrillator.
• Superficial metal or other implants in the treatment area.
• Any form of prosthesis, replacement joint or metal plates in the treated area (e.g. lower leg prosthesis)
• Severe concurrent conditions, such as cardiac disorders.
• Pregnancy and nursing.
• Patients with a history of diseases stimulated by heat, such as recurrent Herpes Simplex in the treatment area, may be treated only following a prophylactic regime.
• Any active condition in the treatment area, such as sores, psoriasis, eczema or undiagnosed rashes.
• Any surgical procedure in the treatment area within the last 3 months or before complete healing.
• NOTE :- 4D Cavi is perfect for treating areas covered by a tattoo, as it will NOT cause fading.

If you are in any doubt and the answers to your questions are not contained within this site, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to discuss the treatments with you in more detail.

• Which Areas Can Be Treated?
  Most areas of the body can be treated, but our 4D Cavi Inch Loss Treatments are especially effective in combating fatty deposits in the following areas :-

  • > Stomach (Abdomen)

  • > Hips and buttocks

  • > Upper & Lower back fat

  • > Flanks

  • > Baby bulge

  • > Male breasts (Gynecomastia)

  > Legs (inner and outer thighs, calves)
• What Happens When I Come For Treatment?
  Your 4D Cavi experience will begin with a FREE consultation. During this we will discuss the areas of your body you would like to improve, the likely length of treatment required and how those areas will be targeted by the treatments. Following the consultation and the completion of a medical questionnaire, the targeted fatty area will then be accurately measured and recorded to enable us to monitor your progress. The treatments will then commence as follows :- Treatment gel will be applied to the treatment area. This ensures optimal transmission of the Ultrasonic energy and lubricates the treatment head as it passes over your skin. The 4D Cavi treatment will then begin. During the treatment, your therapist will move the treatment head across the treated area using our unique patterns. These have been specially developed through months of in-clinic testing on real people to ensure optimal application of the dual modulation 4D Cavi ultrasonic energy. After treatment, the area will be cleaned and dried, then the treated area will be re-measured to assess the inch-loss achieved. You can expect to see a reduction of between 1.5 and 8 inches across all areas (3.25 and 20cm’s) with a single treatment! In order to increase the body’s ability to remove the Triglycerides (the contents released from the fat cells in the treated area), it is necessary to assist this natural process by increasing the metabolic rate through some form of cardio vascular exercise.
• What is “4D Cavi”?
  Ultra safe, high frequency (ultrasonic) sound waves are generated and transmitted into the area to be treated. This energy is in two specific modulations resulting in a dual effect (2×2 = 4D Cavi!). The first effect is the creation of low pressure bubbles within the fat cells. This causes the fat cells to swell and relax, resulting in rupture of the cell membrane. This releases the fats and water into the lymphatic and venous system as a readily available source of fuel for the body. The second modulation causes a positive pressure wave through the interstitial space, promoting accelerated lymphatic drainage, to accelerate the results beyond anything you may have experienced before! If you want to treat a specific area, such as thighs or bottom, speak to one of our staff to find out more about our special combined “Aesthetic” treatment packages.
• Is 4D Cavi Inch Loss similar to 3D Lipo and Cavi Sculpt?
  Sussex Laser Lipo’s 4D Cavi Inch Loss Treatments leverage the principles of Ultrasonic Cavitation in much the same way as 3D-Lipo and Cavi Sculpt. However, Sussex Laser Lipo utilise the PureLift platform from the pioneers at PureGenex. The PureLift implements dual modulation Ultrasonic Cavitation to deliver dual benefits – 2 x 2 = 4D Cavi! This application of dual modulation ultrasonic energy technology, unique to the PureGenex PureLift, delivers unbeatable Inch Loss results that simply have to be experienced to be believed!
• Where does the fat go?
  Ultra safe, high frequency (ultrasonic) sound waves are generated and transmitted into the area to be treated. This energy is in two specific modulations resulting in a dual effect (2×2 = 4D Cavi!). The first effect is the creation of low pressure bubbles within the fat cells.

This releases the fats and water into the lymphatic and venous system as a readily available source of fuel for the body. The second modulation causes a positive pressure wave through the interstitial space, promoting accelerated lymphatic drainage, to accelerate the results beyond anything you may have experienced before!
• Is it safe?
  Yes. The ultrasonic “sound” energy used is extremely safe and the entire process is completely non-invasive. The process has undergone examination and assessment by several medical bodies. We use the most advanced technology available and have one of the most experienced technicians in the country providing treatments, so you are in extremely safe hands.
• Will I be able to drive after my treatment?
  Yes. The treatment is completely non-invasive and has no “down-time”. You are free to carry on with your normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
• Do I need to exercise?
  Unfortunately, yes. The 4D Cavi treatments will release the stored fats into your lymphatic and venous system. You need to increase your metabolic rate (how quickly your body uses the available fuel) through exercise. For those who are not able to, or simply do not enjoy “normal exercise, We recommend vibration plate-based exercise as a low impact method of increasing your heart rate and rapidly burning calories (fuel). You must exercise for at least 30 minutes between each of your 4D Cavi Ultrasonic Inch Loss treatments to ensure you achieve optimal results. If you don’t want to, or simply can’t exercise, you should consider our latest PureCryo “Fat Freezing” inch loss treatments instead.
• What do I do whilst the treatment is taking place?
  This is entirely up to you, as long as you can remain still and lying down. Many clients read magazines (we provide a range to choose from), others take the opportunity to take a quick nap! We also offer free Wi-Fi Internet Access for customers whilst they are waiting and during the treatments, just ask for details when you arrive.
• I have lost weight and been left with loose skin. Will the treatment work for me?
  Yes, although you could also consider our PureShape or PureFirme treatments, as they are specifically designed to tighten and smooth loose skin.
• Will the fat cells refill or come back?
  Not if you carry on with your new healthy lifestyle (portion controlled meals and regular exercise). After a period of 4-8 months, the body will naturally breakdown and remove the ruptured and unused fat cells.
• Who can be treated with 4D Cavi?
  Due to the non-invasive nature of our 4D Cavi Ultrasonic Inch Loss treatments, they are suitable for both men and women that wish to look their best and do not wish to endure the costs and risks of cosmetic surgery. However, there are a number of clinical conditions that would prevent treatment, please check the “Can I be treated” tab on this page for more details. If you have any specific questions or requirements, please contact us for more information.
