I looked through some threads about this subject to learn more because I was thinking about trying it. When I did I found a lot of misinformation and liposhaming. Its almost like people are offended that there might be an easy way that works and most importantly, doesn't actually affect the people who get offended (gasp!). Backtracking from the subject of toxic people, once I figured out reddit didn't have much actual information on fat cavitation I went to google scholar instead and found some good information. I thought I'd share that here in case someone else looks to reddit first for some information on the subject.
So fat cavitation works by using sound waves to break up fat cells. Before anyone comments that this is bogus because they use it to see babies and it can't possibly do anything, I'd like to point out that sound waves can do so much more than just see babies such as break glass, levitate objects (google it), and actually break up tumors. Its that last one that's important here. Ultrasound can be used to vibrate cells until they explode (tumors) or partially liquefy if you want a less drastic measure (fat). Machines producing 20,000 hertz or more have been shown to actually break up fat cells. You might ask "Wont it also break apart muscle or skin tissue?" and the answer to that is......probably not? Ok, so the science on that is less concrete because they haven't tested every type of vibration or frequency. Its the equivalent of saying prove there's not a potato flying around in space right now. You can't. But the studies done so far saw either no change or statistically insignificant change within the fat targeting ranges used. Fat has more liquid to it than muscle or skin. Due to that its easier for the vibrations to affect the fat over other tissues. So while I can't 100% say it wont affect other tissues, I can say I feel confident to try it out without serious concern.
So another factor I saw a lot of was "This wont help you lose weight, its a scam!" and the answer to that is......You're absolutely right!.....sort of. It's not a weight loss procedure, its a body shaping procedure. Even if someone goes full monty and gets surgical lipo they won't actually lose a lot of weight because there actually isn't a whole lot of weight in problem areas. It is recommended that you are close to your ideal weight and just use fat cavitation to target stubborn fat that wont go away. So if you want to go from 180 down to 150 or something, you still need to work for it. If you have worked at it though and still have an area that wont go away, that's when you zap it gone.
Here's a link to an actual scientific study. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4174158/ This group used 20,000 hertz machines and tested different methods of ultrasound delivery such as focused waves vs broad wide area waves (the broad waves seemed to slightly affect other tissue btw) and tested one treatment vs repeated treatments and even tested if the effects last over time. They biopsied samples, measured it, freeze dried it, measured it, pureed it, measured it, took extra samples and zapped it in the petri dish, measured it, ect. Their sample size of people wasn't that large but I'm confident with the methods they used. The multiple treatments test seemed to produce the best results showing a 47% decrease in adipose (fat) cell size. Note that this study did not try to burst these cells which other treatments can actually do. Also, they ran control samples from the same person when possible where the material wasn't treated and compared it vs the treated ones.
On one last note, I can not say if XX product on Amazon works or not. This is something that looks easy to fake by predatory companies. I do know that they have 40,000 hertz machines on there for sale and the study only had 20,000 hertz machines and saw results. Beauty and body sculpting products are a minefield though. Also, I am not actually recommending anyone actually use fat cavitation. All I'm doing is putting some information out there and stating that at least in a clinical setting, it looks like it works. Also, I'm going to be trying it myself most likely......AFTER some more research which I highly recommend anyone do when considering any kind of procedure.
