How does cellulite treatment work?
We use Radial Shock Wave Therapy with a pellet inside an air chamber that generates pressure waves to affect the connective tissue causing cellulite, thereby improving the skin’s appearance by:
- Increasing collagen production
- Increasing the elasticity of connective tissue
- Stimulating blood and lymph circulation
What can I expect following treatment?
The optimal results of treatment are seen about three weeks after the last treatment. Patients will see visible firming and smoothing of the skin, including:
- Improved skin texture
- Improved skin elasticity
- Increased tone and firmness
- Reduced circumference and a more refined figure
Patients have seen dramatic results from these treatments. Women who have tried everything – from diet and exercise to various over-the-counter remedies – have seen results for the first time. This treatment also helps to thicken the dermis and decrease fat protrusion. Ultrasound pictures confirm dermal thickening after treatment.
How long do the results last?
The expected results and length of benefit depend on each patient. Body weight, circulation, and overall level of activity will affect how long results will last. Patients will maintain their results for 6-12 months. We recommend 1-2 maintenance sessions within six months after completing the initial program. Additional treatments are necessary for about 20 percent of patients.
