FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The science behind Cavi-Lipo Dex uses ultrasound fields that create pressure within fat cells, which gradually increase and eventually explode once they reach a certain size. Because the fat cells don’t have the structural capacity to withstand the vibrations, they break down without damaging the vascular, nervous and or muscular tissue and they are released and metabolized through the liver, working with the body’s natural detoxification process.
The second part of the treatment involves radiofrequency, infrared light, a rolling massage head and a light suction. This combination is the key to the outstanding results. You may feel a ticklish not “every day like” feeling, as a result of the 4 treatments working together.
What can I expect at my appointments?
We do a 15 minutes free consultation to see if you are a good candidate for the treatment. Treatment can be started at the consultation date or after. Treatments on two body parts take about 1 hour 30 minutes. After you are done with each treatment you can get back to your normal activities immediately with absolutely no downtime, nor pain, swelling or any discomfort. This is a symptom free process except for losing unwanted inches.
What happens if I miss an appointment?
It is not recommended that you miss an appointment. Prior to starting the Cavi-Lipo Dex treatment, it is important that you are committed to the recommended lifestyle protocol which includes at least a series of 6 treatments.
How is it different than liposuction?
Liposuction is an invasive procedure that removes the entire area of fat cells from deposits beneath the skin using a hollow stainless steel tube (called a cannula) with the assistance of a powerful vacuum. Liposuction can be accomplished either with the use of general anesthesia, or with IV sedation, or totally by local anesthesia.
In contrast, the Cavi-Lipo Dex treatment is a 100% non-invasive that uses Ultrasound / cavitation applied externally to stimulate the fat cell and emulsify and release fat. There is no use of anesthesia, nor any pain, numbing agents, needles and no downtime.
How is it different from other “non-invasive” body slimming techniques?
The Cavi-Lipo Dex is an Ultrasound / cavitation technology and also includes radiofrequency, infrared light, a rolling massage head and a light suction considered safe and effective by the FDA.
Is there any downtime?
Absolutely ZERO downtime. During the treatment you will feel no discomfort, no anesthesia will be used and you can assume normal activities immediately following each treatment.
Are there any limitations to what I can do if I’m using Cavi-Lipo Dex?
No. During the treatment period you can continue your normal activities. It is strongly recommended that you commit to and follow the treatment protocol: stay hydrated (2-3 litres of water a day), continue to eat healthy (48 hours before and during your treatment series reducing carbohydrate intake) and exercise (walk at least 30 minutes a day) and abstain from alcohol and caffeine.
