Ultrasonic cavitation is a highly effective treatment for breaking down fat, its use is generally not recommended for the face. The technology is primarily designed for body contouring, specifically for areas with thicker, pinchable fat deposits.
Why cavitation can't be used on the face?
Risk of Damaging Delicate Structures: The face has a much thinner layer of subcutaneous fat compared to the body. More importantly, it contains a complex network of nerves, blood vessels, and muscles very close to the skin's surface. The low-frequency ultrasound waves used in cavitation are powerful and could potentially damage these delicate structures.
Lack of Fat to Target: Most people seeking facial contouring are looking to tighten skin or reduce minimal fat in areas like the jowls or a double chin. The forceful fat-cell-disrupting action of cavitation is overkill for these areas and is not the most precise tool for the job.
Risk of Side Effects:
1) Nerve damage
2) Uneven fat reduction
3) Skin irregularities
