The application of a specific topical product is often a necessary adjunct to ultrasonic cavitation procedures. These creams serve primarily as a conductive medium, facilitating the transmission of ultrasonic waves into the targeted subcutaneous adipose tissue. The selection of an appropriate product ensures optimal energy delivery and minimizes potential skin irritation or discomfort during the treatment.
Using a suitable cream offers several benefits. Primarily, it enhances the efficiency of the cavitation process by providing a smooth interface between the transducer and the skin. This allows the ultrasonic waves to penetrate the tissue more effectively, leading to improved fat reduction results. Historically, ultrasound gels were the standard, but specialized creams now offer enhanced moisturizing properties and sometimes contain ingredients designed to complement the fat reduction process.
