Treatment of Cellulite with Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy (or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)) targets fat fibers with powerful sound waves in much the same way it’s been breaking up kidney stones for years. Our highly skilled practitioners use an FDA cleared soundwave device to direct vibrating waves against your fibrous tissue, shattering it, so your body can safely expel it.
This highly potent but virtually painless procedure can bestow a bevy of benefits for your skin and your self-esteem. Research has suggested that acoustic waves may be able to:
- increase skin elatisity1
- stimulate blood and lymph circulation
- increase membrane permeability
- remodel collagen within the skin2
What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite is just fat beneath the skin that appears lumpy because it’s pushing against connective tissue and puckering – that’s why over 70% of women have some, whether they’re heavy or thin.
Some factors that predispose you for cellulite are genetic biotype, heredity, ethnic background, body weight, age, hormonal changes, poor diet, smoking, and lack of physical activity.
Recently, inflammation has been implicated. Research shows it can also contribute to the formation of cellulite on women of all ages.
How is shockwave therapy performed?
First, you’ll discuss your medical history, current condition, medications you’re taking, and expectations with our cellulite specialists.
On the day of your procedure, you’ll lie down on a comfortable table. Your dimpled region will be numbed with a local anesthetic. Your specialist will then administer the Shockwave Therapy device over your body. A typical session lasts no longer than 15-20 minutes.
Unlike surgery or medications, Shockwave Therapy causes few or no side effects. You’ll feel a strong vibration during the procedure, but there won’t be any discomfort. Afterward, you may feel slight bruising, swelling, or sensitivity that should resolve within a day or two.
It often takes 6 treatments to resolve the condition, and we suggest calling a specialist at (310) 954−1450 to discuss the best way to experience the true power and effectiveness of this innovative therapy.
Are you the right candidate?
Is my cellulite a candidate for shockwave therapy?
Most patients with any degree of cellulite are good candidates. However, the following factors may preclude you from Shockwave Therapy:
- being under 18 years of age
- having an infection
- having open growth plates or metal pins
- receiving treatment for a malignant tumor
- managing nerve or circulation disorders
- taking anticoagulants or blood-thinning medications
Be sure to discuss all medications and health conditions during your initial consultation, so you can get the most out of your treatment and minimize your risk of side effects.
