Shockwave therapy and cellulite treatment

The device works by melting excess body fat, so it also helps to lose weight to some extent. It does this by creating vibrating movements and leaving the skin completely at rest. It then sends waves to the subcutaneous tissues, affecting the defective tissue and causing it to soften. These waves also affect the lymph nodes and cause the excretion of toxins and waste products. Cellulite is generally not considered a disease and has no side effects such as inflammation and pain and only makes the appearance of limbs ugly.

When will the effects of cellulite treatment be determined with a shockwave device?

The initial positive effects of shockwave for cellulite treatment are usually visible after the first session, but the ultimate cure is after 3 months after the beginning of the sessions. Usually, after the first session, the skin's elasticity increases up to 75% due to the impact of the device waves. After 3 months from the start of treatment, this rate increases to 95%. But the complete and definitive cure is after 6 months after starting treatment.

How many sessions are needed to treat cellulite?

How many sessions are needed to treat cellulite with a shockwave device depends on its severity but is usually between 3 to 6 weeks. The individual must visit for treatment 2 times a week. But two sessions remain to stabilize after the treatment period is completed, and these two sessions will be 6 to 8 months after treatment.

Since diet and exercise are sometimes not effective in eliminating cellulite and sometimes cause resistance, using this device is the best method. Its non-invasiveness and no need for surgery and anesthesia, limited number of sessions with short time, are its most important advantages. The waves emitted by this device are distributed among all tissues and prevent damage to healthy tissues. Another advantage is that there is no need to rest after using the device, so people can use it without restrictions (No recovery time needed).

Note: After using the device, the skin may become slightly inflamed and red, you can use painkillers to relieve the pain.
