What Causes Electrical Tingling Throughout Body After Ultrasonic Cavitation?
Question: Hello! I am doing cavitation for body sculpture. After the third treatment, I felt electricity waves and tingling in my WHOLE body, even in the brain, and in the teeth for 12 hours later.
Is this something that should be a worry?
THank you!

THank you!
Brief Answer:
Sensations common after cavitation, but therapeutics better than cosmetics
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. First of all i want you to know that cavitations and liposuction like procedures are not therapeutic they are just cosmetic and cosmetics come at a price. Such tingling sensations and paresthesias are one of them.
Going through ultrasound waves of 1 to 0.5 Mhz for that long to target fat cell lysis is a procedure that is felt even after the procedure is stopped for a while so that sensation alone is nothing to worry about. its just like riding a horse for the first or 2nd time and even after finishing the ride a person feel like riding. That goes away. Nothing to worry about.
But over all you should know that these cosmetic procedures are not good enough. You should opt for therapeutic options of fat reduction like bariatric surgeries or weight reducing FDA approved programs. Atkin diet, DASH diet etc. Exercise and lifestyle modifications and weight reducing programs.
PS this sonic guided sculpture cavitation is yet to be approved by FDA and not assessed thoroughly.
Nutshell dont worry about the sensation feeling but consider therapeutic opions than cosmetics for long lasting effects.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
