Under the direction of board-certified plastic surgeon Enrique M. Lopez, MD, the veteran staff at Northshore Medical Center helps to rid bodies of fat and cellulite deposits with noninvasive ultrasound-cavitation technology that originated in Europe. Following an initial consultation, a medical professional slathers treatment areas such as thighs or hips with a gel that helps the cavitation device wakeboard across the skin. For 20–30 minutes per session, a technician massages target areas with the device, radiating ultrasonic waves into fat cells until they liquefy back into their original milkshake format. The body disposes of formerly jiggling cellulite and adipose tissue naturally through the liver and lymphatic system. Though results sometimes make themselves sveltely apparent after the first treatment, 6–10 treatments yield optimal effects. Patients should sip liberal quantities of water, partake in gentle exercise, or ask the paw-kneading family housecat for a lymphatic massage following each session.
