Acoustic Wave Therapy for Women

Acoustic Wave Therapy for women is an exciting new treatment against the battle with cellulite. Cellulite is the annoying dimpling of skin. This problem occurs in many women and can be attributed to a woman's genes, lifestyle and hormones. The cause of the dimpled looking area is from the accumulation of lipids in the fat cells. The accumulation causes the fat cell to swell, and this swelling causes a slowdown of the intake of nutrients and exiting of waste products. It eventually leads to the appearance of dimpling.

The Procedure

This non-invasive procedure mechanically vibrates the connective tissues in the affected area. The process stretches the tissues and causes them to become more elastic. This therapy can be completed on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen and the arms. This process is completed on an outpatient basis. It takes approximately thirty minutes to complete and additional treatment sessions may be required. A physician generally recommends two sessions for the first three weeks, and then repeated applications every three months.

Side Effects and Cost

Some side effects that have been reported were bruising, redness or mild discomfort afterwards. The side effects generally only affected a few women, and the majority of women had no issues. The cost of each session generally costs between $150 and $300 on an average. Total cost for the entire process will be a session fee multiplied by how many sessions are required. Acoustic Wave Therapy is an innovative approach to the battle against cellulite. It is affordable, non-invasive, and does not take a long time to complete. The procedure generally will show results, such as improved skin texture, elasticity and firmness.
