Menstruation: During a period, the abdomen cannot be treated however other areas can be.

Metallic Implants: People who have metal implanted anywhere in their bodies, such as bone pins or pacemakers cannot receive treatment.

Skin allergies or inflammation: Areas with obvious signs of inflammation cannot be treated.

Minors: Due to the changing hormonal and fat deposits in the growing body during puberty, we do not treat clients under 18 years of age with Ultrasound Cavitation or Radio Frequency.

Cancer: Cancer cells travel via the lymphatic system, as does waste produced by Ultrasound Cavitation. A treatment presents an unacceptable risk of helping to move cancer cells.

Cold or flu symptoms or fever: Ultrasound Cavitation releases toxins from the body via the lymphatic system, and treatments can exacerbate flu symptoms which also leave the body the same way.

Swollen lymph nodes: Treatments cannot be performed in areas where lymph nodes are swollen, infected, or not draining properly.

Oedema or localized swelling of limbs indicates poor lymphatic flow. Treatments are not designed to alleviate oedema and may in fact exacerbate the condition.

Active Infections & Immunosuppression: These factors compromise the healing ability of the body, and Ultrasound Cavitation should not be attempted until the infection or deficiency is cleared.

Liver, Kidney, or Heart Disease: Compromises the ability of the body to recover from treatments.

Severe hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, or poor circulation of blood and lymph.

Pregnancy: Sound waves generated by the treatment will very likely harm an unborn child’s hearing and may also result in compromising its immune system.

Breastfeeding: As mother’s milk draws nutrients from the body, there is an unacceptable degree of risk that toxins may pass into the milk and therefore be ingested by a nursing child.

Lymph nodes and joints cannot be treated with cavitation.

The face and neck cannot be treated with cavitation however RF can be.
