Fat Cavitation v Fat Freezing: What's the difference?
Both fat cavitation and fat freezing are non-invasive fat reduction treatments for body contouring. However, they use completely different technology to facilitate this process.
"So, which is better?" you may ask.
While that depends on your personal preference on how fast you would like to see results, the number of treatments you are willing to go for, and the amount you are willing to pay.
In this article, we will cover how the different technology works, the number of treatments needed to see results, and their cost. This will give you a guide on which is the better choice for you.
How they work
Fat freeze is a fat removal treatment that works by using extremely cold temperatures of -8 degrees to freeze stubborn fat cells and cause cell death. Subsequently, the dead fat cells will be removed from the body naturally via the body's lymphatic system.
Fat cavitation (fat melting) works by using low-frequency ultrasonic waves to apply pressure to the fat cells. Once the pressure reaches a certain threshold, the fatty tissue breaks down and releases its contents into the body. These fat deposits get flushed out of the body via its natural elimination system.
Number of treatments needed to see results
Fat freeze requires less number of sessions than fat cavitation, however, it takes a while longer to see results.
Fat freezing typically requires 3-4 sessions for a larger area of the body and takes approximately 4 weeks before seeing results from a session. Ultrasonic cavitation requires 6-7 sessions with instant results being seen. Since the number of fats removed per session of fat cavitation is less than a fat-freezing session, more sessions are required.
Fat freezing takes a longer time to see results as the dead fat cells remain in the same area while the body slowly removes them naturally. Whereas in ultrasonic fat cavitation, the fats get broken down and distributed throughout the body, hence you will be able to see an instant improvement in the area.
Cost
A single fat-freezing session can cost anywhere from $200-$500, while a single fat cavitation range from $100-$300. Although ultrasonic cavitation is cheaper, you have to take into account the additional number of treatments required to achieve results.
Takeaway
Fat freezing and fat cavitation are both effective body contouring methods for reducing fat. If you desire to attend fewer sessions, fat freezing is suitable for you. If you prefer a more gradual improvement that is more pain-free, fat cavitation is more suitable. Ultimately, you can also consult a trained professional who has years of experience and would give you appropriate advice on which is better for you.
