Acoustic Wave Therapy is a cellulite treatment which allows the patient to see reduced cellulite dimpling on their body. In just a few sessions, patients can see a difference in their skin's texture and color.
What Fair Skin Tones May Notice
Though patients with fair skin may want their skin tone to change after this skin treatment, they may be concerned about long term effects. When using Acoustic Wave Therapy on fair skin tones, patients will need to be aware that there may be discoloration of the skin, including:
- Redness
- Pinkness
- Purple coloring
While these discolorations can alter a patient's appearance, they will fade from the skin in time and with the proper care as directed by a dermatologist after the procedure.
Other Possible Side Effects
Fair skin patients may also notice minor pain, redness and swelling at the site of the Acoustic Wave Therapy. Again, while these side effects may be uncomfortable, they are temporary. A dermatologist may choose to give a patient a pain reliever before or after the procedure, as well as provide a numbing treatment to the skin's surface if the patient is highly sensitive to pain.
Those with fair skin can enjoy the benefits of Acoustic Wave Therapy with little chance of long term side effects.
