Shockwave Treatment for Cellulite.
We now offer Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy reduction treatment for Cellulite. Shockwave Therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing the appearance of cellulite in patients.
The effectiveness was first noticed when athletes, who were being treated for tendonitis using shockwave therapy, noticed that the cellulite on their legs had become less noticable.
Shockwave therapy breaks down the connective fibrous walls, which trap fat & toxins into bumps under skin. It releases clogged fat, water & toxins and improves lymphatic drainage.
Treatment using Shockwave Therapy increases blood circulation, strengthening the dermis & epidermis and producing fresh, thicker bands of collagen, along with stronger and smoother skin.
Shockwave Therapy can improve the appearance of cellulite by up to 1 grade.
