Acoustic Wave Therapy is a procedure which can help a patient reduce the appearance of cellulite on their body. With a non-invasive sound wave technique, this procedure is generally painless and takes only 30 minutes to complete. At the current time, there are no alternative uses approved by the FDA, but there are many uses for patients who want to improve their appearance.
Lower Body
The most common place for cellulite to be stored is on the lower body, on the backs of the thighs and calves. With Acoustic Wave Therapy, patients can begin to reduce the appearance of dimpling on the skin as circulation is enhanced, allowing the fat cells to disperse. Depending on the severity of the cellulite, multiple treatments may be necessary for the most dramatic effect. Some patients will experience bruising and pain after procedures, but the effects are short term and recovery time is quick.
Upper Body
Some people also have troubles with cellulite on their upper arms and on their abdomen, and Acoustic Wave Therapy can help in these areas. By applying the pads to the skin, the Acoustic Wave Therapy procedure will help the appearance of cellulite and it can also help to enhance muscle tone in some patients.
With Acoustic Wave Therapy, patients have the chance to reduce bumpy areas of their skin, allowing them to feel better about the appearance of their body.
