Bay Area Cavi Lipo Spa

After 17 sessions of Cavi Lipo with Lori Olson, I am very pleased with my body, and have lost 9 lbs. I have priced a tummy tuck, and liposuction, but was reluctant to undergo cosmetic surgery after a friend’s bad experience. The cost for lipo of the same areas would have been $ 12,000. 20 sessions of Cavi have been about $ 3,800.
Cavi is easy, much less expensive, and it works. I asked Lori to work on my pot belly and «saddle bags,» starting in September. By Christmas I was down about 9 pounds and very pleased at my new slimmer hips and belly. I am looking at more fitted dresses for my daughter’s wedding next year.
Cavi is easy. The machine, lubricated with gel, gently rubs the area to be reduced for 20 minutes each session. You experience an odd buzzing in your ears as this is going on, but with no apparent side effects.
It is a slow and gentle process, but I am really seeing the results, and I am very pleased with the results. I began to see the difference after about 4 sessions.
This is how it works: «Ultrasonic cavitation therapy makes it possible to apply concentrated levels of ultrasonic energy to specific treatment areas. This type of therapy targets and destroys subcutaneous fat cells in the fat cell membranes through a series of microscopic implosions. Once the fat cell membrane (adipose tissue) is destroyed, the fat is discharged between the cells where they are turned into protein and then changed to free fatty acids and glycerol. Free fatty acids are moved to the liver where they decay and are removed from the body while water-​soluble glycerol is transported to the circulatory system and used as energy.»
At 64, I do have a little extra skin after the fat loss, but it seems to be tightening gradually. I prefer this to the side effects of surgery.
Lori is very pleasant and easy to talk to, and the process is pleasant and results are real.
I made a decision to comply with Loris’ instructions: drink lots of water before and after the session, exercise after the session, and do reasonable lifestyle changes to maintain a better weight.
There are no miracles, and the more excess weight you carry, the more you will need. For my needs… about 10 pounds overweight and carrying weight in belly and saddlebags, this process was perfect!

I am having great results with Cavitation (Ultrasound Lipo) at Metamorphosis in Alameda. I have thought about liposuction or tummy tuck for several years, but after consulting with two plastic surgeons, I just couldn’t go through with surgery. I «jumped at it» when I heard about Cavi Lipo, done by Lori Olson at Metamorphoses in Alameda. I did research on the internet about the process, and it has been used in Europe since 2005. I am over 60, 10 pounds overweight and carrying fat in my tummy and hips. I began to notice a flattening in the tummy with the third session. Results are gradual and not dramatic so as to draw attention. I am following Lori’s prescription exactly: no alcohol the day before, and day of procedure; drink lots of water the day of; do one half hour of cardio exercise after the procedure, and eat a healthy diet which includes green vegetables and fruit, cut back on the carbs and sugar.
Lori is intelligent, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to.
Here is how it works, From Wikipedia:” Ultrasound waves are transmitted with an ultrasound probe into the fat layer of the skin, stimulating lipolysis of fat cells. This causes triglycerides to be released from fat cells. These fats are then expelled from the body naturally. Less fats in the body results in visible inch loss at the treated area.“
This is non invasive: there is no incision, no pain, and no recovery time. Sessions are from 20 to 40 minutes, depending upon your purchased «package.» During the procedure you will hear a mild internal buzzing in your ears from the machine.
Like lipo, Cavi does not eliminate extra skin, and it takes quite a few sessions because it is a gradual destruction of layers of fat cells.
Be sure to do your own research to know if this is right for you. I am not done yet, but so far, very pleased with my flatter tummy, and will be working on my saddlebags next! Not cheap, but much cheaper than surgery.
