Hi I’m Shannon and I’m Kay and we’re your hosts of The Proven Profits Podcast

Hi there, body contouring professionals.  Kay here.  Shannon and I thank you for being here too!

Even though there’ve been tons of machines developed and released since those early days of body contouring, cavitation still reigns as one of the most popular fat reduction technologies.

But here’s the thing.  When you’re shopping for a machine, You can choose machines from the 3in1 all the way up to 10in1 and the newest development, the S Shape.  That’s actually a problem - it’s Information overload.  There are so many cavitation machine options, and so many factors you must use to evaluate each machine.  

So in this episode, we’re going to break it down for you so you know how to evaluate these machines, and we’re going to give you our advice - we’ll narrow your choices down to the two we like the best but for different reasons.  That way, you have the information you need to decide what cavitation machine is best for you.

 So let’s start with a brief review of fat cavitation

Ultrasonic Cavitation, also called Fat Cavitation, Ultrasound Cavitation - or - simply Cavitation, is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that delivers low-energy ultrasound wave technology to destroy fat cells in a targeted treatment area.  

The destroyed fat cells are then eliminated from the body via the lymphatic system over a period of time.  

Cavitation treatments are popular because of the many upsides for clients

No downtime

No pain

Few to no side effects

Permanent fat loss

Also minimizes cellulite  

Versatile treatment areas  

Budget friendly

Flexible treatment schedule

Cavitation has long been referred to as the liposuction alternative because of its ability to produce dramatic results.

Good review of information that you’re probably familiar with. Now let’s move on to what you don’t know.  We’ll break down cavitation machines and make some sense out of what you’ve been looking at in your research.

These are things you need to know about cavitation machines

Most cavitation machines are multi-technology machines

First, it’s important to note that most machines labeled as ‘cavitation machines’ are more than that; they are multi-technology platform machines.  In other words, the cavitation machine platforms come equipped with cavitation PLUS other complimentary body contouring technologies.  

The most common ‘other’ technologies included in a cavitation machine

Radiofrequency technology

Vacuum technology

Lipo Laser technology

LED technology 

Higher priced cavitation machines may include additional technologies

EMS technology

Electroporation technology

Microcurrent technology

Shockwave technology

These additional technologies, especially EL and microcurrent, are used primarily for protocols/treatments to the face and not the body 

Cavitation machines have different ‘technology combination handpieces’

It’s commonplace for manufacturers to combine two technologies in a single applicator or handpiece.  

And different manufacturers may combine different technologies.

Here are examples of what we’ve seen available:  A combination Ultrasound/RF handpiece, a combination Vacuum/RF handpiece and a combination Vacuum/LED handpiece.

Same or similar cavitation machine may have different names

Take a look at a sampling of cavitation machines available.  

3 in 1 Cavitation machine

4 in 1 Cavitation machine

5 in 1 Cavitation machine

6 in 1 Cavitation machine 

7 in 1 Cavitation machine

8 in 1 Cavitation machine

9 in 1 Cavitation machine

10 in1 Cavitation machine

S Shape Cavitation machine 

And do y’all need more confusion?  Different manufacturers offer the same cavitation platforms…and may 

Give the machines different names (though they offer the same technologies)

Combine different technologies on applicators (ex: vacuum/LED or vacuum/RF, etc)

Market the same or similar machine platforms with different brand names

One thing that is consistent:  

Most cavitation machines are Level III body contouring machines, which are a perfect choice for the entry level provider and experienced provider alike. 

If you’re not familiar with the 3 levels of body contouring equipment, they are 

Level I - Medical Grade - you need a physician to purchase

Level 2 - Paramedical Grade - you have to meet certain qualifying conditions to purchase

Level 3 - Entry Level - available to everyone

Even though we have doctors and nurses, we use several Level III machines in our medspa in Texas, including 6 in 1 cavitation machines.  

Now it’s time to give you our advice on cavitation machines.  Remember how we said we have narrowed cavitation machines down to two choices?  That’s up next.  But before we get started, Shannon has a short message for us.

The S Shape Cavitation machine is not intended exclusively for body contouring; it is intended for facial treatments as well 

EMS technology and EL technology are housed in handpieces used for the face, not the body

Now let’s look at 3 other important differentiation factors:  US wave frequency, power output and cost

Ultrasound Wave Frequency:  The S Shape Cavitation machine delivers 30kHz Cavitation

The S Shape Cavitation machine is reported to require fewer treatments because the ultrasound wavelength reaches deeper than the other cavitation machines

Here’s how US wave frequency works:

Cavitation machines are either 30k, 40k or 80k

These numbers refer to the frequency of the sound waves emitted

The higher the number, the faster the speed of the sound waves delivered

But the lower the number, the deeper the penetration into the fat layer

Power Output: The S Shape Cavitation machine has a cavitation handpiece with a high power output of 50W

According to cavitation machine manufacturers, the higher the power output the cavitation handpiece, the faster the fat reduction

The S Shape Cavitation machine’s cavitation handpiece is powered by 50W output

Cost:  The S Shape Cavitation machine requires a larger investment 

The S Shape Cavitation machine costs more than two times as much as the 6 in 1 Cavitation machine, with a price tag of $850 

That’s the S Shape

Or this cavitation machine might be right for you. 

The 6 in1 Cavitation machine

What is a 6 in 1 Cavitation machine?

The 6 in 1 Cavitation machine is a multi-technology platform with these technologies

Ultrasound Cavitation

Radiofrequency (RF)

Lipo Laser 

Vacuum 

Okay, what about those other 3 factors: US wave frequency, power output and cost

Ultrasound Wave Frequency:  The 6 in 1 Cavitation machine delivers 40kHz Cavitation

We can tell you from our own experience, clients typically need a minimum of 6 treatments with the 6 in 1 machine.  According to manufacturer representations, fewer treatments are needed with the S Shape due to the difference between the 30k and 40k frequencies

Cavitation machines are either 30k, 40k or 80k

These numbers refer to the frequency of the sound waves emitted

The higher the number, the faster the speed of the sound waves delivered

But the lower the number, the deeper the penetration into the fat layer

Power Output: The 6 in 1 Cavitation machine has a cavitation handpiece with a lower power output of 20W

According to cavitation machine manufacturers, the lower power output from the cavitation handpiece may require more treatments to achieve desired results 

The 6 in 1 Cavitation machine’s cavitation handpiece is powered by 20W output

Cost:  The 6 in 1 Cavitation machine has a lower price point

The 6 in 1 Cavitation machine has a low price tag, $335, less than half the cost of the S Shape Cavitation machine.  We use this machine,

How should you decide if the S Shape Cavitation machine or the 6 in 1 Cavitation machine is best for you?

Should you choose the S Shape Cavitation machine?

Great choice for experienced providers who have a couple of things: a business or a practice that provides them with the ability to charge a higher fee per treatment (you’ll need to to cover the cost) and if you’re a provider who places a high value on adding on more face treatments to your business. 

Who should choose the 6 in 1 Cavitation machine?

Perfect choice for the beginner all the way up to the experienced provider who is looking for an affordable machine capable of delivering reliable results.  This is the machine we use in our medspa and it’s perfect for us because it delivers reliable results and it’s a treatment that we can offer at a price point that’s affordable for most people

Curious?  You can take a closer look at each of these machines.  We have links to both of these machines in our show notes.  

If you buy or if you already own a cavitation machine, No matter which machine you choose or own, make sure you have the education, training and certification to safely and effectively treat clients with your machine.

In the ever-evolving landscape of aesthetic beauty equipment, fat cavitation machines have gained significant attention for their role in non-invasive body contouring and fat reduction treatments. With a plethora of options available, it's crucial to comprehend the differences between various cavitation machines to make an informed choice that aligns with your client's needs and business goals. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the distinctions between 30K, 40K, and 80K cavitation machines, shedding light on their mechanisms, applications, and benefits.

The Basics of Cavitation Technology:What is a cavitation machine?

Before diving into the specifics of each cavitation equipment, let's establish a fundamental understanding of cavitation technology itself. Cavitation is a process that utilizes low-frequency ultrasound waves to target and break down fat cells, transforming them into a liquid state. This liquefied fat is then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body.

The frequency of ultrasound waves is a critical factor in cavitation technology, influencing its effectiveness and applications. Common frequencies for best cavitation machines include 30KHz, 40KHz, and 80KHz cavitation machine. Each frequency offers unique advantages and is suited to different treatment scenarios.
