Ultrasound Cavitation Lipolysis

Ultrasound cavitation lipolysis uses low-frequency focused ultrasound (typically 20–60 kHz) to create a physical effect called acoustic cavitation in fat tissue. When these ultrasound waves pass through the fat layer, they generate rapidly alternating regions of high and low pressure. During the low-pressure phase, micro-bubbles of gas form in the fluid between fat cells; during the high-pressure phase, these bubbles implode violently in a process called…

The released fatty acids and glycerol then enter the lymphatic system and are transported to the liver, where they are metabolised as normal dietary fats. This is why adequate hydration and light physical activity in the 24 to 48 hours following each session are important — they support lymphatic clearance and the body's ability to process the released lipids.

At Luna Klinik the device is applied via a handheld transducer that moves slowly over the treatment zone in methodical overlapping passes, with a coupling gel ensuring good acoustic contact. Patients typically hear a mild buzzing or ringing in the ears during treatment (a normal acoustic effect), feel gentle warmth, and experience no pain. Sessions run 30 to 50 minutes depending on the area. For facial contouring — reducing fullness in the lower face,…
