Body Cavitation is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses ultrasound technology to target stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. The ultrasonic waves create microscopic bubbles inside fat cells, breaking them apart so your lymphatic system can naturally process them out. The result: visible reduction in circumference and a smoother, more sculpted silhouette — with no needles, no incisions, and no downtime.
At Healing Skin Medical Aesthetics, Body Cavitation is performed by Dr. Cecilia Rusnak — an acupuncture physician, Doctor of Oncology Pain Management, and paramedical expert with over three decades of clinical experience. Dr. Rusnak’s background in pain management and her understanding of the lymphatic system make her particularly well-suited to perform cavitation safely and effectively.
Non-Invasive: Uses ultrasound waves to break down fat cells without needles, surgery, or downtime.
How It Works:
Treatment Areas: Abdomen, thighs, flanks (“love handles”), buttocks, and arms.
Session Duration: Typically 30–60 minutes per session, depending on the treatment area.
Results: A gradual slimming and contouring effect with smoother, firmer skin. Best results are seen after a series of 6–10 treatments.
Body Cavitation Treatment offers numerous benefits for those seeking non-surgical body contouring:
Body Cavitation Treatment is ideal for individuals who:
Are close to their ideal weight but want to target problem areas
Prefer non-surgical contouring
Want a gradual, natural-looking transformation
Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Step 1: Consultation & Body Assessment (20 minutes)
Dr. Rusnak reviews your goals, measures the treatment area, assesses your medical history, and confirms you’re a good candidate. Cavitation works best alongside a healthy lifestyle.
Step 2: Pre-Treatment Preparation (10 minutes)
You’re asked to arrive well-hydrated — this is important because hydration directly affects how well your lymphatic system processes the broken-down fat cells.
Step 3: Cavitation Treatment (30-45 minutes)
A handheld ultrasound device is applied to the treatment area with a conducting gel. You’ll feel mild warmth and hear a faint buzzing — no pain, no discomfort.
Step 4: Lymphatic Support (15 minutes)
Gentle manual lymphatic drainage is performed to assist your body in processing the released fat cells.
Step 5: Aftercare & Long-Term Results
Drink plenty of water, eat cleanly, and stay active during the 72 hours after treatment — this is when your body processes most of the released fat. A series of 6-10 sessions spaced 5-7 days apart builds the most dramatic results.
Proper hydration and a healthy lifestyle are critical to cavitation results. Drink at least 2 liters of water per day during your treatment series, limit alcohol and processed foods, and stay physically active. Dr. Rusnak may also recommend complementary treatments like lymphatic massage or body RF between sessions to accelerate processing.

Body cavitation offers body shaping and fat reduction, but it is not a weight-loss procedure or replacement for surgical intervention.
Body Cavitation is a powerful, non-invasive option for patients with localized areas of stubborn fat — abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, or buttocks — who want to reduce circumference and smooth their silhouette without surgery, needles, or downtime. It’s important to understand that cavitation is a body contouring treatment, not a weight-loss treatment — it works best on patients within 15-20 pounds of their ideal weight who want to address specific problem areas.
Dr. Rusnak often recommends combining cavitation with consistent exercise and clean eating for the most dramatic results. A typical series is 6 to 10 sessions spaced 5 to 7 days apart. Maintenance treatments every 1-2 months help preserve results as your body continues its natural processes. For comprehensive body care, we recommend medical-grade body care products from Dr. Rusnak Wellness.
Body Cavitation pricing is per session or per package. Most patients see best results from a 6-10 session series plus monthly maintenance.
