Cavitation and aesthetics
In medical field, for dermatological diagnosis and applications, is used sound
waves frequencies between 1 and 16MHz for both thermal
antalgic
effect
who can produce, for both controlled cavitation to use to remove the
kidney
stone
(shock wave lithotripsy), which are crushed right through the formation
of micro-bubbles which imploding erode solid formations inside the kidneys.
Furthermore, cavitation is also used in
aesthetic medicine
to eliminate or
reduce adiposities, a technique that has been called non-surgical liposuction.
In particular the
cellulite
is a disturb that affects the ipoderm, a tissue which
is found under the derm and that has a mainly adipose nature; the
conseguence is the increase of the volume of the adipose cells, of the water
retention and of the stasis of liquids in the intercellular spaces.
The cellulite can be divided:
•
Compact
: it creates an edema that is an accumulation of liquids and it
is present in the adipose tissue, especially arround the ankles, the
calves and it affects subjects with a good health and with a tonic
musculature.
•
Flaccid
: is manifested in middle-age people, with a ipotonic
musculature.
•
Edematous
: is the evolution of the compact cellulite and is manifested
in presence of circulation pathologies.
The cavitation used in aesthetic field consists inth eapplication of particula
low frequencies sound waves (0,03-3MHz) which generate inside the adipose
tissue vapour bubbles that implodes, releasing energy that disintegrates the
adipose cells and so transforms the local fat in an easly eliminable form with
the help of a correct dreinage of the lymphatic system and of the urinary
tract.
If from many years the application of ultrasound was used with 3MHz
frequencies, more recently the development of knowledge induced the
producers of ultrasounds and cavitation equipments to reduce the
frequencies of employment, because the ability of ultrasounds to penetrate
in depth is inversely proportional at the beam of ultrasound frequency;
consequently today 3MHz, 1Mhz, up to 0.03MHz devices are commercially
available.
