Acoustic Wave Therapy is a treatment that uses sonic waves to help reduce the appearance of cellulite on the body. Painless and simple, this therapy works on a large number of patients, no matter their body type, weight or age. In addition to cellulite, Acoustic Wave Therapy can also help to treat losses of elasticity in the skin as well as poor circulation in the area where cellulite is present.
Cellulite
The most common use for Acoustic Wave Therapy is cellulite treatment. By sending sonic waves into the skin's innermost layers, the appearance of cellulite can be dramatically reduced. The dimples of the skin can begin to fill in as the connections between the fatty tissues are slowly weakened and broken down. In several treatments, patients have seen the skin become smoother.
Loss of Skin Elasticity
As the skin ages, collagen production slows down. This results in looser, sagging skin. With Acoustic Wave Therapy, patients can begin to boost their collagen production as the sonic waves begin to encourage an anti-inflammatory response in the body. The skin becomes tighter and begins to produce more collagen in response to the stress of the treatment.
Poor Circulation
Cellulite is often caused by having poor circulation in the skin. With Acoustic Wave Therapy, patients can improve the circulation, which allows the tissues to drain fat cells. In doing so, the skin will begin to look more youthful and blood and waste matter can circulate more easily. In doing so, patients will see their skin look healthier.
With Acoustic Wave Therapy, patients can treat a variety of conditions, not just the appearance of cellulite. As a result, the skin will still look smoother and tighter, which is a bonus for the patient.
