The delivered energy produces different reactions on the surrounding
areas.
Cavitation applications
Acoustic waves with frequency from 1 to 16 Mhz are used in medical
field both for diagnosis and dermatoligic purposes. In fact these
waves produces a thermal and analgesic effect and also a cavitation
effect than can be used for kidney stones removal (litotrissia).
Microbubbles collapse destroys kidney stones and it pulverizes solid
substances within the kidney. Moreover cavitation effect is used in
aesthetic medecine in order to decrease or eliminate adiposities.
This technique is called non-surgical liposuction.
Cellulite is a deasese affecting the hypoderma that is a tissue under
the dermal tissue and with an adipose nature. The consequence is
an increase of adipose cells volume, like so hydric retention and
liquids stasis in the inter-cell spaces.
There are three kinds of cellulite desease:
•
Compact: this type of cellulite causes an oedema that is a
liquids concentration; it appears in adipose tissue in particular
near the ankles, calfs, thighs and it's present also in persons
with good health conditions and with tonic muscles.
•
Flaccid: is found in middle-age persons with hypo-tonic
muscles.
•
Edematous: is the progression of compact cellulite and it
appears in presence of circulatory pathologies.
Cavitation and aesthetic
Aesthetic cavitation consists in low frequency (0,03-3 MHz)
ultrasound waves application that generates vapor bubbles in
adipose tissue. These bubbles rapidly implode delivering energy that
breaks up adipose cell and transform localised fat in a form which
can be easily eliminated by lymphatic system and urinary way and
with the help of a right drainage.
In aesthetic field 3 MHz ultrasounds has been used for years.
Recently new studies induce ultrasound devices manufacturers to
decrease working frequencies since ultrasounds ability to penetrate
in depth in tissues is in inverse proportion to the ultrasound beam
frequency. Nowadays the marketing offers 3MHz,1MHz till 0,03MHz
ultrasound devices.
