WHAT IS THE SHOCKWAVE THERAPY FOR SKIN FIRMNESS?

Shockwave therapy for skin firmness is a non-invasive method of therapy based on high energy acoustic waves that penetrate into the tissue and stimulate their regeneration. 

During the procedure, acoustic waves relax the connective tissue and increase the firmness of the epidermis. This improves blood circulation in tissues, and fat cells reduce their size. It is possible to adjust the frequency and force of the wave, thus adjusting it to the needs of the patient.

Thanks to its firming effect, the shockwave therapy for skin firmness is used in the treatments aimed at reducing advanced, fibrotic cellulite and dense adipose tissue, as well as preventive treatments and combined therapies. Shock waves are also used in physiotherapy, orthopedics and sports medicine to treat pain in joints, muscles, tendons or carpal tunnel syndrome.
