Acoustic Wave Therapy
What is Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT)?
Acoustic Wave Therapy is the first FDA-approved treatment for cellulite which addresses both causes of cellulite: the protrusion of fat into the lower skin and the hardening of fat’s connective support system.
How does the treatment work?
Acoustic Wave Therapy uses pressure waves to break up the hardened collagen of the fat’s support system. Acoustic Wave Therapy also causes the dermis of the skin to thicken, which in turn prevents fat from protruding into the skin.
How many treatments are required?
Two treatments a week are generally recommended for three to six weeks.
How long does an Acoustic Wave Therapy treatment last?
Treatment lasts about five minutes.
How does the treatment feel?
Acoustic Wave Therapy causes minimal discomfort.
