Ultrasonic Cavitation
In Detail
Traditional weight loss methods cause your body to go into conservation mode, which slows your metabolism and makes it harder to shed fat in certain areas (particularly the abdomen and thighs). Ultrasonic cavitation is able to target these areas and significantly reduce the volume of fat cells, ultimately leading to a more toned physique. While some rapid weight-loss treatments can result in sagging skin, Ultrasonic Cavitation has a firming effect on the skin and muscle tissue, which helps with overall firming.
A specially designed hand piece transmits strong low level ultrasonic waves which consist of a compression / expansion method which travels in high speed cycles. This back and forth rotation causes thousands of micro-cavities (air bubbles) to enlarge surrounding the lipocyte (fat cell) membranes. It is the progressive enlargement of these micro-cavities that turn into collision & implosion, producing an emission of shockwaves that cause emulsification & elimination of the fat tissues in the target area (this phenomenon is called ‘cavitation’). In short, the bubbles create enough pressure to cause the fat cells to break up almost instantly.
Low-frequency waves are restricted to the intended treatment areas, thus allowing for targeted fat reduction in specific areas, which tones the body to the desired shape. The contents of the broken lipocytes are then moved through the lymphatic system to the liver and are safely metabolized.

Low-frequency waves are restricted to the intended treatment areas, thus allowing for targeted fat reduction in specific areas, which tones the body to the desired shape. The contents of the broken lipocytes are then moved through the lymphatic system to the liver and are safely metabolized. This is significant because fat cells are not destroyed in regular exercise, but just reduce in size. It is this elimination of the fat cells which is what makes Ultrasonic Cavitation such a powerful tool for targeted fat reduction. Ultrasonic Cavitation FAQ
As there is no surgery or anaesthesia, no hospital stay, no time off from work and no downtime. Right after your appointment, the treatment area may be slightly puffy or swollen and you may feel mild pain or bruising, which does not last long. Some experience thirst or mild nausea immediately after the treatment, which is generally resolved by drinking water.
We usually recommend a course of 6 treatments. In many cases, this will be sufficient, however varying factors such as age, body mass, hormonal balance and extent of body shaping required, a series of 10 – 12 treatments may be necessary to reach desired goals.
Results will continue to improve for several weeks following the last treatment session. You will continue to metabolize fat for up to 12 weeks, although some clients can begin to see significant changes at around 2 – 3 weeks in. Studies have shown that each individual session can result in a 1cm – 3cm waist reduction.
Fat cells are destroyed entirely, and therefore will not return or re-grow, meaning that results can be permanent. This of course is dependent on a well balanced lifestyle, as weight gain can certainly occur in the remaining fat cells.
If further weight gain does occur however, this will likely be more balanced across the entire body and not concentrated in the treated areas, as it may have been before.
It takes your lymphatic system 3 – 5 days to metabolise the liquified fat. as such, we recommend a treatment every 3 – 4 days for the first 3 sessions, and then once per week for the remaining treatments. Follow up treatments may not be required, as the removed fat cells do not return, however you may consider additional sessions every 12+ months if weight gain does occur.
Ultra Cavitation is a safe, nonsurgical procedure with no need for anesthesia. It is non-invasive, with no cutting, no scars and no downtime. Specific parameters of ultrasound energy levels ensure selective damage to fat cells only and does not interfere with or impact any other type of cells or tissues.
Ultrasound Cavitation is a pain-free procedure and requires no anaesthetic or numbing cream. During the procedure you may feel a slight heat sensation, tingling or slight ‘tug’ from the vacuum suction, but otherwise the treatment is painless.
Precare
Two Days Before Treatment
- Drink plenty of water so that your body can efficiently flush out fat deposits and toxins. We suggest at least 1.5 litres of water per day.
- Avoid alcohol consumption as this will cause your liver to prioritise metabolising alcohol over fat, which will hinder your results.
- Maintain a low calorie, low carbohydrate, low fat and low sugar diet 24 – 48 hours before treatment. This will ensure your body can fully utilise the triglycerides released by the fat cavitation process.
- Avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen.
On The Day
- No caffeine, diuretics or sugary drinks.
- Remove metal jewelry before treatment.
- Drink some water just before and shortly after your treatment.
- Do not eat a heavy meal within 2 hours of the treatment.
- Do not apply any cream, oil or moisturisers on the treatment area.
- For your initial treatment, bring a bikini or sportswear for your ‘before’ photo, so we can track your progress.
Aftercare
Hydrate – To make your treatments more effective, drink plenty of water. This will help the liver and lymphatic system remove the fat and help speed up the elimination of toxins. We suggest 1.5 – 2 litres a day for 3 days.
Avoid Alcohol – You will need to avoid alcohol for 3 days after each treatment. The liver will be busy processing the fat that has been broken down. Alcohol consumption will hinder the process as it is prioritised by the liver.
Exercise – We recommend 30 minutes of light cardio immediately after your session, to stimulate the lymphatic and urinary systems as elimination of the fat continues. This can include a brisk walk, cycling or swimming and should be performed daily for at least 3 days following.
Diet – Try to maintain a low calorie intake. Reduce your carbohydrate, fat and sugar intake for at least 3 days. Choose healthier, nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables and lean meats. For long term results, a balanced diet should be followed ongoing.
Apply SPF50 sunscreen – Your skin will be more susceptible to UV damage. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure for the following 2 – 3 days after a treatment if you can.
Avoid hot showers, saunas & steam rooms – Increased blood circulation can intensify warming, tingling, itching or redness immediately after. Try to avoid these activities on the day of your treatment.
Avoid abrasive treatments – Avoid all abrasive treatments such as Microdermabrasion or Skin Needling for at least 2 weeks after your treatment. Also avoid irritants such as glycolics, acids or retinoids until the redness or swelling resolves.
Lymphatic Drainage – A lymphatic massage can help improve the circulation and move newly released triglycerides and toxins through the lymphatic system.

Thank you, BodyBarn, and to all staff you’re all amazing.Thank you so much for your service.

I have been going to Tamara at Body Barn for 4 years. I would not trust anyone else but Tamara for my facial treatments. Body Barn has the latest lasers and anti aging treatments available. I have been getting the Plasma Pen Anti Aging treatments and I am beyond thrilled with the results. No need for Botox or fillers due to having this fantastic treatment. Tamara takes the time to analyze your skin and make the best recommendations for you. I’m looking forward to my next series of skin tightening treatments next month. Book your appointment with Tamara and Janelle, you will wonder why you didn’t do it sooner!

My daughter and I went this week for a skin consultation and facials. The facility is beautifully decorated with a spa atmosphere and the latest skin care equipment. I was very impressed with their knowledge. I was particularly pleased with how much time they spent with my daughter explaining things to her and educating her on what skincare would be best for her. I look forward to our future visits to BodyBarn Cayman.

A few months ago I experienced the worst acne. Like this story often goes I was trying anything and everything. There is a certain desperation and sadness that soon followed. I lost confidence in myself and lost my smile. Tamara has given me my smile and confidence back. Not only did her professional treatments work, she also educated me on what I can do at home to improve my skin regimen. After recommendations from dermatologists failed me - Body Barn solved my skin problems once and for all!

Everyone should do themselves a favor and go for a consult. I got a skin analysis done that shows all problem areas, even the ones you don't see, and predicts what your skin will look like in the future. I have already had a holistic facial and skin peel and I've never felt and looked more glowing. I've already booked my sessions to get rid of my melasma, and probably much much more. Tamara and Janelle know what they're doing!I haven't even mentioned the atmosphere in their spa. It's beautifully decorated and comfy cozy in the massage chairs while you wait or after treatment.A must for anyone and everyone!

I had a gorgeous facial yesterday. I was very impressed with how thorough the initial consultation was, the facilities are beautiful, and my skin feels divine. I’d like to review every detail of my treatment, but I was too relaxed and floating elsewhere to remember the info. It was a lovely experience and I’m looking forward to coming back.

Yesterday was my first session for laser hair removal at BodyBarn and it was awesome. Janelle and Tamara were very professional, warm individuals. Tamara has the heart of a teacher explaining the services and listening to what my expectations were. The whole experience was comfortable and I would highly recommend. Just check out their webpage and give them a try. You wont be disappointed.

The consultation I received at BodyBarn exceeded my expectations. I was given thorough explanations about all treatments of interest. Time was spent answering all of my questions by a team member most experienced with that particular treatment, all while sitting comfortably in the lounge area. The process to book a consultation was easily done online and follow up information was provided quickly that same day. The space is beautiful, clean and welcoming. I look forward to my treatments at BodyBarn!

Janelle and Tamara were exceptional! Very professional and knew what they were talking about and what they recommended for me. I wanted something more permanent than just a face massage/cleanse. Had a consultation and straight through to the treatment. Talked through the procedure and expectations. Went through all the products before and during the hydra facial too. Offered soft drinks as I arrived! Very relaxing and calming atmosphere, beautifully decorated inside - open and airy, felt like my skin was clean and rejuvenated as she finished. Would definitely recommend and will be returning soon! Thanks ladies. 😘

I booked a Hydrafacial and I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience overall. Since the moment you step foot there you feel taken care of. The place itself is lovely, open and feels fresh. I got my skin diagnosed in depth with a bubble-like machine, was sat down and asked about my skin concerns and given different tips about possible solutions to these concerns. However I never felt like they were trying to sell anything to me, which was very nice. The treatment was what I expected and left my face glowing. I would definitely recommend this place and I will definitely go back. Thanks ladies!

Thank you, BodyBarn, for really looking after and doing a great job with my 6yr and 8yr old daughters ear piercing. You were so lovely with them both, especially the nervous child! Such a perfectionist! Highly recommend to anyone. I will be back to try some of your other services. Many thanks. 🙏

It’s my first time to go to Body barn. But I received a very welcoming treatment from Ma’m Tamara and she did a very professional way of telling me my treatment. And I will go and continue to support their business. And also I will recommend Body Barn to my friend who want to have their skin treated. Well done Body Barn. I will see you in a month time. Thank you for the nice treatment.

I recently had a laser hair removal service done at BodyBarn. Having this service done has only recently been made available on island due to my skin tone. I was nervous about the process as my skin tone is dark and technology is quite new. Kerri put my mind at ease, talked me through the process and gave good breaks during periods of discomfort. She did an amazing job and the results are great! I can't wait for my next treatment.

So glad I choose Body Barn to take my daughter when she wanted to get her ears pierced. The were so good at showing her what was going to happen and making sure she was feeling good about it. Everything was clean and all equipment was sterile, the staff were efficient and kind. Tamara is great at making sure her clients are comfortable!

I did a waxing service and for being a first timer, I had a very good experience. The lady who I did the service with was very nice and she comforted me throughout the entire service. She ensured that I was comfortable by playing calming music and engaging in conversation with me throughout the service which lessened my nervousness and anxiety which I thought was really helpful. She gave me after care tips and overall the service went very smooth.

My wife got a facial at the Body Barn from Kerri Reeve, who she has gone to before. The spa is really nicely set up and is very welcoming and bright. The facial left my wife's skin glowing and her feeling very relaxed and happy with her treatment. Would recommend both the Body Barn and Kerri to anyone looking for anyone of their facials or nail services.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Body Barn for hair color, cut and blow dry with Matthew. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The salon is clean, light and airy. The atmosphere is peaceful and serene. Matthew began the appointment by discussing my hair goals, he truly listened and offered his professional expertise. My color, cut and blow dry were amazing!! My color not only covered my gray roots, it blended beautifully with my existing color, and remained vibrant despite many days in the sun! My blow dry lasted thru several days in the Cayman heat and humidity. I would highly recommend Matt and Body Barn Salon!
