Treatments that Can be Combined with Acoustic Wave Therapy

Acoustic Wave Therapy, also referred to as AWT, is a remedy used for loss of skin elasticity due to aging, or more commonly, cellulite. Over 70 percent of women are affected by cellulite that appears on the buttocks and thighs, as well as on the upper arms. The AWT procedure produces a pressure wave that passes through skin and fat. The pressure breaks up the collagen under the skin, which provides a smoother surface. AWT also helps to thicken the skin and diminish signs of fat. You can obtain a more effective and faster solution with prolonged results by combining Acoustic Wave Therapy with other treatments, including Thermage, Power Plate and TriActive laser technology.

Thermage

Thermage is a non-invasive treatment which tightens and smooths your skin. Radiofrequency (RG) technology is used to heat the deep layers of your skin, while at the same time cooling the surface to keep it protected. The deep heat stimulates the skin which helps form new collagen and improves tone and texture. Thermage treatments provide gradual, natural looking results, without going through an invasive surgical procedure which requires a significant recovery period. There are no needles or anesthesia involved, and you will notice improvement after a single treatment. By combining Thermage with Acoustic Wave Therapy, which provides pressure to the treatment area, you will have smoother, tighter skin. 

Power Plate

If you enjoy an active lifestyle, but cannot find the time for a lengthy workout a few times a week, then Power Plate vibration treatments are for you. And if you are already an athlete looking for ways to enhance your training, you will notice an increase in strength, endurance and flexibility after combining Power Plate with your normal fitness routine. After the treatment, you will have immediate improvement in your blood circulation. You will feel like you just had a vigorous workout, but in less than half the time. By combining Power Plate vibration exercises with Acoustic Wave Therapy, you can work to eliminate stubborn cellulite.

TriActive

TriActive is a laser treatment combined with a mechanical massage that enhances your circulation and improves skin elasticity. By using a rhythmic massage in various directions on your skin, you can increase your lymphatic drainage and therefore reduce cellulite. In addition, TriActive will shrink fat cells and reduce their swelling. Your skin will look smoother and more toned after having this therapeutic treatment. The benefit of this laser treatment is that it attacks cellulite under the skin at a cellular level, at the root of the problem, as opposed to what topical creams can do.

By combining Acoustic Wave Therapy with other treatments, you can maximize your results. In most cases, you will notice results after a mere 4 or more treatments in 2 to 3 weeks. In the case of Thermage, you can feel the effects in a single treatment. Always consult your doctor to determine which procedures are right for you.
