When it comes to achieving a desired body shape and eliminating stubborn fat deposits, there are several non-invasive procedures available today. Among the popular options are ultrasound cavitation, CoolSculpting, and Sano Bello. In this article, we will compare these procedures, taking into consideration factors such as procedure details, price points, benefits and side effects. 

Procedure Details:

Ultrasound Cavitation with Radio Frequency:

Ultrasound cavitation with radio frequency (RF)  is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes ultrasound waves to target and break down fat cells. During the procedure, a specialized device is used to deliver low-frequency ultrasound waves to the targeted area. These waves create tiny bubbles within the fat cells, causing them to rupture and be eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system, The technician then may use RF to help tighten your skin as needed to lose skin and to help tone your body adding more definition and muscle tone. . 

CoolSculpting:

CoolSculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, involves freezing fat cells to induce their breakdown and removal. The procedure uses a device that applies controlled cooling to the targeted area, which freezes the fat cells without harming the surrounding tissues. Over time, the frozen fat cells are naturally eliminated from the body.

Sano Bello:

Sono Bello does a micro-laser technology to remove fat. It aims to reduce cellulite, tighten the skin, and contour the body. The treatment involves the application of micro-laser energy to the targeted area to break up the fat and to stimulate collagen production and promote tissue tightening.



Price Points:

When comparing price points, it's important to note that costs may vary depending on factors such as the treatment area, the number of sessions required, and geographical location. Generally, ultrasound cavitation tends to be much more affordable than CoolSculpting and Sono Bello. While prices can range significantly, ultrasound cavitation sessions typically cost much less per treatment compared to the other two procedures.

Comparison:

Ultrasound Cavitation:

  • Non-invasive and painless procedure.
  • Targeted fat reduction in specific areas such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms.
  • No downtime or recovery period required.
  • Effective on eliminating fat in targeting areas
  • Immediate noticeable up to 2 to 3 inches after each session and more over 3 days after the body flushes out the fat cells (results vary person by person)
  • Stimulates collagen production, which can lead to improved skin elasticity.
  • The average cost per session for Ultrasound Cavitation can range from $150 to $500 (Multiple treatments may be needed) 
  • CoolSculpting:
  • Non-surgical and non-invasive treatment.
  • Targeted fat reduction in areas such as the abdomen, love handles, and thighs.
  • Minimal discomfort during the procedure.
  • Little to no downtime, allowing patients to resume regular activities afterward.
  • Effective on eliminating fat in targeted areas.
  • Results will only be noticeable after several months, as the body needs to flush out the dead fat cells
  • The average cost per session for CoolSculpting can range from $2,000 to $4,000
  • (Multiple treatments may be needed) 
  • Sono Bello:
  • Surgical and minimally invasive treatment
  • Fat reduction, cellulite reduction and skin tightening effects.
  • Potential improvement in overall skin texture and tone.
  • Minimally invasive procedure clients will receive a  local anesthesia in the treatment area and medication to relax. 2 to 4 week recovery period
  • Results are immediately visible after the operation.
  • The average cost per session for Sono Bello can range from $2,500 to $4,500

Side Effects:

  • Ultrasound Cavitation:
  • Mild redness or bruising in the treated area.
  • Temporary increased urinary frequency due to the elimination of fat cells.
  • CoolSculpting:
  • Temporary numbness, tingling, or sensitivity in the treated area.
  • Redness, bruising, or swelling in some cases.
  • Rare instances of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), a condition where the fat cells in the treated area grow larger instead of shrinking.
  • Sono Bello:
  • Redness, swelling, or discomfort in the treated area.
  • Reaction to anesthesia
  •  Sono Bello has the same risks associated with traditional liposuction.

Conclusion :

Ultrasound cavitation, CoolSculpting and Sono Bello are all effective procedures for eliminating unwanted fat and offer skin tightening. If you have a larger volume of body fat, Sono Bello may be a good choice as it can remove more adipose tissues. If you don’t mind the wait to see results CoolSculpting is also a good option as well, yet quite a bit more expensive then Ultrasound Cavitation.

Ultrasound cavitation offers several advantages over CoolSculpting and Sono Bello. Firstly, it is generally more affordable, making it accessible to a wider range of individuals seeking body contouring treatments. Secondly, ultrasound cavitation is a well-established FDA approved procedure with a proven track record of success in fat reduction. Finally, the treatment is painless, non-invasive, and requires no downtime, allowing patients to get back to their normal activities.
