How to choose an ultrasound machine for fat removal?

Losing weight is not losing fat

Most of the time, losing weight and reducing fat are quite different two concepts. Your weight decrease can be an indicator of how much fat has been reduced to some degree at the beginning, which will not be any more especially when it comes to the body-shaping period.

Now if you have corrected your ideas about losing weight, there is still the possibility of your getting into some blind alleys in other aspects.

Control on food intake can not be equated with dieting. Control on food intake refers to the practice of refusing to eat something unhealthy and controlling the number of foods you eat. For example, you need to eat high-calorie, fat-rich and sugar-rich foods as less as possible and also avoid binge eating. On the other hand, it is recommended that you should eat healthy foods and have a regular time for meals so you have enough nutrients to support your daily life.

Dieting, however, simply refers to a limited amount of foods. By doing so, your body lacks nutrients that meet your basic needs and the direct result is it will affect your normal metabolism. The worst-case scenario is the less you eat, the more difficult it is for you to lose fat. Your health can also be badly affected at the same time.

What’s an ultrasound machine?

Seemingly, to have a clear knowledge of how to lose fat has already been a difficult thing, not to mention losing fat itself. But now there are so many beauty machines emerging on the market, which makes that not a problem anymore. Invasive procedures like liposuction can be effective yet damaging while non-invasive procedures including Laser, RF, fat-freezing, cavitation, and others can deliver satisfactory results but do little damage to the human body.

Here cavitation, or we say, an ultrasound machine can be a good example.

Cavitation is one of the effects of ultrasonic treatment. An ultrasound machine can be a good device for fat removal. When the ultrasonic waves produced by an ultrasound machine act on fat tissue, incalculable vacuums can form among fat cells. As the sound waves continue to exist, those vacuums can experience different changes. Some may expand in size and some will probably contract. But bursting is their shared destiny. The resultant physical impact will cause fat cells to collapse and then the fat will be released.

How to judge whether or not an ultrasound machine is right for you?

There is a wide range of ultrasound beauty machines you can choose from on the market. But how to evaluate the quality of those ultrasound devices, or to be direct, how to buy a machine of this kind that can better meet your needs? The following four aspects are thought to be what you’d better not miss out on.

·1. The frequency of the ultrasonic wave

So the first thing that should grab your attention is the frequency of the ultrasonic waves, which is a major technical specification of ultrasonic machines. For now, commonly seen ultrasound machines on the market are usually labeled “30K, 40K, 60K, 80K”. Taking a 60K machine, for example, 60K indicates that ultrasonic waves with 60,000Hz are used in this machine.

In addition, you need to know that different acoustic waves have varying distances they can travel due to their frequencies. The basic fact in physics has it that the higher the sound wave has, the shorter the distance it can travel, which means a 30K machine can act on a deeper layer of fat tissue than a 40K machine. So before you decide to buy a machine of this kind, choose the one adopting proper-frequency sound waves that can target fat tissue at a specific depth.

·2. Adopted cavitation technology

As technologies develop, the technologies used in ultrasound machines have also seen tremendous evolution. The cavitation technologies have been upgraded from cavitation 1.0, cavitation 2.0, cavitation 2.0, and now cavitation 3.0. The major changes can be found in two aspects. The first one is improved design.

For example, the cavitation 2.0 handpiece has a more humanized design that gives users a more comfortable experience. And the cavitation 3.0 combines ultrasonic features with vacuum in one handpiece, which can greatly improve treatment efficiency. Choosing a machine that adopts more advanced technology is undoubtedly a good idea.

·3. Other handpieces provided

A beauty machine usually has several handpieces or special tools to achieve comprehensive results. If you only use the cavitation handpiece of an ultrasonic for fat removal, the final results would not be what you originally want. To give you an actual example, you will probably see saggy skin after using an ultrasonic handpiece on the abdomen, about which the ultrasonic handpiece can do nothing. An RF handpiece comes in at that time.

RF (radio frequency)technology can help stimulate collagen regeneration, thus getting skin tightened and firmed. Or when you get fat removed from a specific area and there are stretch marks left, the RF handpiece can play a helpful role in relieving such a condition. Of course, other tools like laser applicators, or vacuum cups can also be provided in an ultrasound machine.

·4.Price&size

You can go to a professional beauty salon for treatments instead of buying an ultrasound machine. But repeated treatment sessions may set you back several thousands of dollars. When you almost make up your mind to buy an ultrasound machine, the last focus should be put on its price and size.

Professional ultrasonic beauty device is typically a big one in beauty salons, which is not your option. There are also home-use ultrasound machines available with prices ranging from several hundreds of dollars to no more than 2 grand. You can not deny it is quite affordable compared to those in beauty salons. Plus at-home ultrasound machines usually have relatively small sizes. You can put it away super easily after treatment.
