As a non-invasive fat reduction method, the ultrasonic cavitation machine can produce a cavitation effect through the vibration of ultrasonic frequencies, thereby breaking down fat cells in the body. However, many people hear some noise when using the ultrasonic cavitation machine, which confuses many users and sometimes even wonders if this noise means there is a problem with the device.

So why is there noise when using an ultrasonic cavitation machine? Does this noise affect the treatment effect or safety of use? This article will fully explore this issue and answer users' doubts.

How does the ultrasonic cavitation machine work?

The core principle of the ultrasonic cavitation machine is to use the cavitation effect generated by ultrasonic waves in liquid to break down fat cells. When ultrasound waves are transmitted through the skin to the fat layer, the vibration of ultrasound waves triggers the formation of tiny bubbles in the fat layer. These bubbles will burst instantly during the expansion process, releasing powerful energy, causing fat cells to rupture and break down.

1. The role of the cavitation effect

The formation of the cavitation effect is one of the sources of noise generated by the ultrasonic cavitation machine. When ultrasound propagates at a certain frequency, it causes tiny bubbles to form in the fat tissue. These bubbles expand and collapse rapidly due to the effect of ultrasound, thereby releasing energy. This energy release generates sound, and the intensity and frequency of the sound depend on multiple factors, such as the frequency of the ultrasound, the size of the bubbles, the density of the fat tissue, etc.

2. The relationship between ultrasound frequency and noise

The frequency of the ultrasonic cavitation machine is generally between 20kHz and 80kHz, and different frequencies correspond to different working effects. When the frequency is low (for example, around 25kHz), the wavelength of ultrasound is longer and can penetrate deeper tissues, so it is usually used to treat thicker fat layers; when the frequency is high (such as 50kHz and above), the wavelength of ultrasound is shorter and has weaker penetration, which is suitable for the treatment of shallow fat.

When using the ultrasonic cavitation machine, the wavelength of ultrasound with a lower frequency is longer, the bubbles formed are larger, the energy released when they burst is stronger, and the noise will be relatively large. In contrast, the bubbles generated by high-frequency ultrasound are smaller, the energy released when they burst is weaker, and therefore the noise is smaller.

Ultrasonic cavitation machine: What causes the noise?

After understanding the working principle of the ultrasonic cavitation machine, we can more clearly understand why noise is generated during use. Specifically, the generation of noise is mainly related to the following aspects:

1. The bursting of cavitation bubbles

In the process of ultrasonic cavitation, the expansion and bursting of bubbles are the direct cause of noise. At the moment of expansion and bursting, bubbles will release a large amount of energy. This process is accompanied by the propagation of sound waves and forms a sound within the audible range of the human ear. This sound is sometimes described as similar to the sound of bursting bubbles, or like a tiny explosion in water.

2. The relationship between ultrasonic frequency and noise

As mentioned earlier, the frequency of the ultrasonic cavitation machine has a significant effect on the generation of noise. Low-frequency (25kHz-40kHz) ultrasonic waves release more energy when bursting due to their longer wavelengths and larger cavitation bubbles, thus generating more obvious noise. When the frequency is higher (such as 50kHz and above), the wavelength of ultrasonic waves is shorter, and the expansion and bursting of cavitation bubbles are relatively weak, so the noise generated is also smaller.

3. Equipment design and operation

Ultrasonic cavitation machines of different brands and models may have differences in design and manufacturing. For example, the quality and design of the equipment's ultrasonic generator, sensor and other components will affect the propagation efficiency of the ultrasound and the intensity of the cavitation effect. In addition, the power and time used during operation will also affect the noise level. Generally speaking, higher power and longer treatments will produce stronger cavitation effects, which will generate more noise.

Ultrasonic cavitation machine: What is the effect of noise?

1. Treatment effect

From the perspective of treatment effect, the noise generated during ultrasonic cavitation has no direct relationship with the treatment effect. The size of the noise is closely related to the frequency and power of the ultrasound, but regardless of the size of the noise, the intensity of the cavitation effect can still effectively break down fat cells. Therefore, the presence of noise does not mean the quality of the treatment effect.

2. User comfort

Although the impact of noise on treatment effect is small, for some users, noise may affect their comfort. Excessive noise may make some users feel uncomfortable or even anxious. In order to improve the user's treatment experience, some high-end ultrasonic cavitation machines will take noise reduction measures in their design, such as using more advanced ultrasonic generator technology to reduce noise generation.

3. Safety

For ultrasonic cavitation machines, the generation of noise itself does not affect its safety. As long as the equipment is of qualified quality and the operation is standardized, the noise generated during use will generally not cause any damage to the skin or physical health. However, excessive noise may indicate that there are some abnormalities in the equipment, such as sensor damage or ultrasonic generator abnormalities. At this time, the equipment needs to be checked and repaired in time.

How to reduce the noise of ultrasonic cavitation machines?

If you feel that the noise is loud when using ultrasonic cavitation machines, which affects the treatment experience, here are some suggestions for reducing noise:

1. Choose a high-frequency device

If noise is an important factor for you, you can choose an ultrasonic cavitation machine with a higher frequency. High-frequency ultrasound (such as 50kHz and above) has lower noise and is suitable for users who are more sensitive to noise.

2. Selection of high-quality equipment

Choose a brand with good reputation and credibility. High-quality ultrasonic cavitation machines usually focus on noise control in design. These devices have been optimized in terms of the design of the ultrasonic generator and the accuracy of sound wave transmission, which can effectively reduce the generation of noise.

3. Reduce power during operation

If the noise is too loud, you can also consider reducing the power of the device appropriately. Under the premise of ensuring the treatment effect, reducing the power may help reduce the intensity of the cavitation effect and thus reduce the noise.

4. Choose a quiet environment when using

In order to reduce the interference of noise on the treatment process, you can choose a quiet environment for treatment. Avoiding other noise interference in the surrounding environment can also help you enjoy the treatment process better.

The noise generated by the ultrasonic cavitation machine is mainly closely related to its cavitation effect, frequency and equipment design. The generation of noise is the natural result of the expansion and bursting of bubbles generated by ultrasound in fat tissue.

Generally, low-frequency ultrasound (25kHz-40kHz) will produce louder noise, while high-frequency ultrasound (40kHz-80kHz) is relatively quiet. Although noise may affect user comfort, it does not directly affect treatment effectiveness or safety.
