Acoustic Wave Therapy for your days on the beach (Credit: imagesbyk2/) Are you worried about slipping into those teeny-weeny shorts and bikini this summer? Are you wondering what to do about that cellulite that’s not making you look as sexy as you would want to be? Well, there is some good news in the form of Acoustic Wave Therapy for all those women who are looking for a way to do away with their cellulite and slip into that sexy, black number.
Acoustic wave therapy is a new treatment that works by delivering acoustic sound pulses to the treatment area. An acoustic sound device sends the sound waves through the skin and fat to impact the affected areas. These acoustic pulses induce vibration in the connective tissue of the treatment area. This process ultimately leads to increased vascularization and the creation of a new, thickened band of collagen in the upper and mid portions of the skin and the result is smoother texture in formerly dimply cellulite areas.
Doctors say that acoustic wave therapy increases blood flow to subcutaneous tissue that loosens up the connective tissue layers and you get rid of that dimpling.
Noticeable improvement typically occurs between the third and fourth treatment. Patients are treated twice a week for three weeks, with sessions requiring less than a half hour. Patients may wish to have a maintenance session every three months after completing the program.
Well, if you’re not really in the mood to go in for this therapy, you can at least try standing near a speaker blasting out your favorite tune.
