FAQs

Common questions.

Before fat cavitation at Injex Clinics, there are several important things to avoid in the 24 to 48 hours prior to your appointment. Avoid consuming alcohol for at least 48 hours before treatment, as alcohol affects liver function and the liver plays a central role in processing the released lipids following cavitation. Avoid eating a heavy meal within two hours of your appointment, and refrain from applying any topical numbing creams, oils, or lotions to the treatment area on the day of your session.

Clients should also avoid anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen for 48 hours prior where possible, as these may reduce treatment response, though you should check with your prescribing practitioner before adjusting any prescribed medications. Caffeine and fizzy drinks in the hours before treatment are best avoided. Strenuous exercise immediately before treatment is not recommended, as the body needs to be well-hydrated and in a steady state. Pricing varies depending on individual assessment; contact Injex Clinics for a personalised quote. See Fat Cavitation Treatment for further details about what the treatment involves.

  • Avoid alcohol for 48 hours before treatment
  • Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (with practitioner approval)
  • No heavy meals within two hours; avoid oils and lotions on the treatment area

Showering before fat cavitation is recommended so the skin is clean and free from any products including oils, lotions, creams, and perfumes. Clean skin allows the treatment device to work without obstruction and ensures good contact between the ultrasound head and the skin. Avoid applying any body lotion, tan, or oil on the day of your treatment.

After cavitation, it is generally fine to shower, though warm rather than very hot water is preferred to avoid irritating any skin sensitivity in the treated area. Avoid vigorous scrubbing or exfoliation on the treated area immediately after the session. The post-treatment period is an important time for the body to process and eliminate the disrupted fat cells, so following the aftercare guidance provided at Injex Clinics supports the best possible outcome. See Fat Cavitation After Care for full aftercare instructions. Pricing varies depending on individual assessment; contact Injex Clinics for a personalised quote.

  • Shower before treatment to remove all products from the skin
  • Avoid oils, lotions, and tanning products on the day of treatment
  • After treatment, use warm water and avoid scrubbing the treated area

Light exercise after fat cavitation is generally recommended rather than vigorous exercise before the treatment. Physical activity following cavitation, particularly cardiovascular exercise, supports lymphatic drainage and may help the body process the disrupted fat cells more efficiently. Exercising after your appointment, ideally within two to four hours, can assist the elimination process that the treatment initiates.

Strenuous exercise immediately before your session is not advised, as it may cause dehydration and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Arriving at your Injex Clinics appointment well-hydrated and in a rested state supports the treatment process. After the session, activities such as brisk walking or light cardio for 20 to 30 minutes are commonly recommended as part of the aftercare routine. See Fat Cavitation After Care for full guidance on post-treatment activity. See Fat Cavitation Treatment for information on what the treatment involves.

  • Light cardio after treatment supports lymphatic elimination of disrupted fat cells
  • Avoid strenuous exercise immediately before your appointment
  • Post-treatment walking or light activity within two to four hours is typically recommended

Hydration is a key part of preparing for fat cavitation. Clients are advised to drink at least two litres of water in the 24 hours before their appointment. On the day of treatment, aim to drink one to two glasses of water in the hour or two before your session. Being well-hydrated supports the body’s ability to process the disrupted fat cells through the lymphatic system following the treatment.

Poor hydration before a cavitation session may reduce treatment effectiveness, as the lymphatic system relies on adequate fluid levels to function efficiently. Continuing to hydrate well after treatment is equally important; practitioners at Injex Clinics typically advise drinking two litres of water per day in the 48 hours following each session. Avoiding diuretics such as caffeine and alcohol before treatment also supports good hydration levels. See Fat Cavitation After Care for aftercare hydration guidance. For information on how cavitation compares with Fat Freezing Brisbane, a consultation with Injex Clinics can help identify the most suitable approach.

  • Drink at least two litres of water in the 24 hours before treatment
  • Arrive well-hydrated; drink one to two glasses of water before your appointment
  • Good hydration supports lymphatic processing of disrupted fat cells

Preparing well for fat cavitation at Injex Clinics helps support the effectiveness of the treatment and minimise any discomfort. In the 48 hours before your appointment, avoid alcohol and limit caffeine. Eat a light, healthy meal two to three hours before your session rather than fasting, as the body needs energy to support the treatment and recovery process. Drink at least two litres of water per day in the days leading up to treatment.

On the day of your appointment, do not apply any oils, lotions, fake tan, or creams to the area being treated. Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. Avoid strenuous exercise on the day before your session. Review the full preparation guidelines provided by Injex Clinics before attending. For information on what fat cavitation involves and how it differs from Fat Freezing Brisbane, see Fat Cavitation Treatment. Pre-treatment instructions for Fat Freezing Before Care are also available for comparison.

  • Avoid alcohol and limit caffeine for 48 hours before treatment
  • Eat a light meal two to three hours before; drink two litres of water daily
  • No topical products on the treatment area on the day; wear loose, comfortable clothing

Getting the most from fat cavitation at Injex Clinics involves a combination of pre-treatment preparation, consistent aftercare, and healthy lifestyle choices. Before each session, stay well-hydrated, avoid alcohol, and keep the treatment area free from products. After each session, complete 20 to 30 minutes of light cardiovascular exercise to support lymphatic drainage, and drink two litres of water per day in the days following treatment.

Across the course of treatment, maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding high-fat, high-sugar foods helps the body manage the released lipids more effectively. A series of sessions spaced one week apart is typically recommended rather than single isolated treatments, as cumulative results tend to be more noticeable. Wearing compression garments on the treated area between sessions may also support results, as advised by your practitioner. Complementary body treatments such as Fat Freezing Brisbane may be discussed as part of a broader body sculpting plan at Injex Clinics. See Fat Cavitation After Care for detailed post-session guidance.

  • Hydrate well, exercise lightly after each session, and maintain a balanced diet
  • A series of weekly sessions typically produces more noticeable results than single sessions
  • Post-treatment lymphatic support through light cardio and hydration is essential
