About smart lipo/cavitation and radiation absorption. Is it safe?

Asked By:Stacy111111 in Chicago, IL

I am thinking about getting a smart lipo or ultrasound cavitation.Which is better between those two? I know that both procedures use RF radiation at about 35-40KHz(from what I have read).Is this safe or does it pose a problem(DNA/cell mutation and cancer)?Is there any possibility that the skin could get a permanent scar from burning? Thank you for your time! Kind Regards, Electra
