Ultrasonic cavitation uses low-frequency ultrasound to disrupt fat cells in a targeted area, which the body then gradually clears. It is not a weight-loss treatment; it's a contouring option for people who are close to their goal weight but have areas that don't respond to diet and exercise. At Ageless Skin Clinic, Colombo 08, we plan cavitation honestly, often alongside RF or other body treatments.
What can Cavitation help with?
Results are gradual and usually measured in centimetres rather than kilograms.
- Stubborn fat on the tummy and waist
- Love handles and hips
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Mild cellulite, when combined with RF
Who is Cavitation suitable for?
It suits adults at a stable weight with pinchable fat in specific areas who are ready to support results with diet, hydration and activity.
When we may advise against it: We avoid cavitation in pregnancy, with pacemakers or metal implants in the area, liver or kidney disease, active cancer, blood clotting issues or open wounds.

Sessions and downtime
How many sessions will I need?
Most courses involve 6 to 10 sessions, usually 1 to 2 weeks apart. Visible change often starts after 3 to 4 sessions.
Recovery and downtime
There's no downtime. You may notice mild redness, warmth or a buzzing sound during treatment, and you can return to normal activities.
Getting the best result from Cavitation
Cavitation results depend a lot on what happens between sessions. Drink plenty of water, stay active with walking or light exercise, and keep a balanced diet with less sugar and processed food. We take measurements at the start and during the course so you can track progress objectively. Combining cavitation with RF can help keep the skin firm as the area slims, and some clients add EMS for muscle tone.
Cavitation cost in Sri Lanka: what affects it
Because every plan is personal, we don't publish a fixed price online. The cost depends on the number of areas treated, the course length and whether RF or other treatments are combined. After your consultation, Dr. Nuwan will explain the plan and give you a clear quote before any treatment begins, so there are no surprises.

Cavitation: frequently asked questions
Will cavitation help me lose weight?
No. It's for shaping specific areas. Weight loss comes from diet and activity.
Can cavitation remove belly fat after pregnancy?
It can help with stubborn fat once you've recovered and stopped breastfeeding, but loose skin or abdominal separation may need other treatment.
Do I need to drink more water after cavitation?
Good hydration and gentle activity after sessions help your body process the treated fat.
Can I combine cavitation with EMS?
Yes. Some clients combine fat reduction with muscle-toning sessions for a more defined look.
What does a cavitation session feel like?
Most people describe it as warm and gently vibrating, with a high-pitched sound from the handpiece. It is usually comfortable without any numbing.
How long do results last?
Treated fat cells don't come back, but remaining cells can grow with weight gain, so lifestyle matters.
