Cavitation

Cavitation

Cavitation is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure designed to reduce localized fat deposits and contour the body using ultrasound technology. It is especially suitable for areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and hips, where fat is often more difficult to reduce. Cavitation also helps reduce cellulite and the “orange peel” effect, improving skin texture and body contours.

The cavitation procedure is available in Riga at “Veselības centrs 4” branch “4. Dimensija/Liora”, where it is performed by experienced aesthetic medicine specialists using advanced medical equipment.

Cavitation in Riga – localized fat reduction using ultrasound

Cavitation is based on low-frequency ultrasound technology, which creates micro-vibrations in fat tissue and helps break it down. During the procedure, ultrasound energy forms microbubbles in fat cells, disrupting their structure.

The released lipids are then gradually eliminated from the body through the lymphatic and circulatory systems. As a result:

  • fat layer is reduced;

  • body contours improve;

  • cellulite decreases.

Cavitation is considered a non-invasive alternative to liposuction, as it does not involve surgery, anesthesia, or downtime.

At “4. Dimensija/Liora”, cavitation is performed using the advanced Alma Accent Prime system, ensuring precise and controlled treatment while preserving surrounding tissues.

Who is cavitation suitable for?

Cavitation is suitable for individuals who:

  • have localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise;

  • want to reduce cellulite and improve skin texture;

  • aim to achieve more harmonious body contours;
