Low-frequency ultrasound directed at localised pockets that diet and training have not shifted — offered as contouring support within a wider plan, never as a route to weight loss.
Ultrasonic cavitation applies low-frequency ultrasound to a localised area of fat, creating pressure changes within the tissue that disrupt fat cell membranes so their contents can be released and cleared.
The honest positioning is that this is a contouring adjunct. It suits someone close to their target who has a specific pocket that has not responded — the lower abdomen and flanks being the usual candidates — rather than someone looking to change their overall weight.
It also depends heavily on what happens between sessions. Released contents are handled by your own metabolic and lymphatic clearance, so hydration, activity and diet materially change the outcome. A clinic that tells you otherwise is selling you the machine rather than the result.
The handpiece delivers sound waves at a frequency selected to act on fat tissue rather than the skin above it.
Rapid pressure changes within the tissue disturb fat cell membranes, allowing their contents to be released into the surrounding space.
Released contents are processed through normal metabolic and lymphatic routes, which is why hydration and activity between sessions genuinely matter.
Assessed, planned and supervised in clinic — never sold from a menu.
Directed at a defined pocket rather than applied across the whole body.
No needles, no incisions, no anaesthetic and no recovery period.
A single area takes well under an hour, and you leave as you arrived.
Mild warmth and some redness that settle shortly after the session.
Offered as contouring support alongside diet and activity, not as weight loss.
A course spaced to allow clearance between sessions, reviewed as you go.
Body contouring — results shown are from Dermatonik's body-contouring protocols and reflect a combination of treatments alongside the patient's own diet and activity.
Photographs shared with patient consent. Individual results vary; your clinician will set honest expectations at consultation.
Dr. Saeema Shiraaz assesses whether what is bothering you is genuinely a localised pocket or a broader weight question — because the second one is not what this treatment addresses.
What is appropriate, in what order, and what it will cost is set out before anything begins. You will be told plainly if something is not going to help you.
Gel is applied and the handpiece is worked over the area in a controlled pattern. You will hear a faint high-pitched tone during treatment, which is normal and comes from the ultrasound itself.
Aftercare is explained before you leave, and we review how your skin has responded before deciding the next step.
Dr. Saeema Shiraaz — cosmetologist, and the reason patients stay. Every treatment plan at Dermatonik is built around her judgement, not a sales target.
Every protocol is planned and supervised by Dr. Saeema Shiraaz — no junior staff experimenting on your skin.
We recommend what works for your skin, not whatever's trending — and we'll say so if a treatment isn't right for you.
Honest timelines, real costs, and no pressure to buy packages you don't need.
This works as an adjunct for a defined pocket on someone already close to their target. Sold as weight loss, it disappoints everyone, which is why we decline to sell it that way.

How we work
What patients usually ask before their first visit.
No. It targets a localised pocket for contouring purposes. Overall weight is a diet, activity and medical matter, and no device on our menu substitutes for that.
Reported results are modest and gradual, and they vary considerably between individuals. We position it as support within a wider plan rather than as a standalone answer, because that is what the evidence supports.
Courses are typically spaced about a week apart to allow clearance in between. The number depends on the area and your starting point, and is reviewed as your response shows.
It is generally comfortable — warmth and pressure, with a faint high-pitched tone audible during treatment. There is no recovery afterwards.
Remaining fat cells in the area can still enlarge if your weight increases, so the result moves with your diet and activity. That is the truthful answer, and it is why we treat this as one part of a plan.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding, liver or kidney conditions, certain implants or devices, and some metabolic disorders. Your history is reviewed at consultation.
Tell us a little about what you'd like to address. Dr. Saeema Shiraaz will review your message and the team will confirm a time that works for you.
