Cellulite Reduction
Cellulite is the result of a complex physiological process involving fat deposition, circulatory insufficiency, and long term inflammatory response and associated changes to local connective tissue.
Our Solution:
Acoustic Wave Therapy™ - A new treatment for smoother, firmer skin. AWT was adapted from European technology originally designed to ease the pain associated with poor circulation and stiff joints. AWT patients typically experience improvement in skin texture, improvement in skin elasticity, dermal firming and circumference reduction.
How AWT Treats Skin Dimpling:
How was Acoustic Wave Therapy™ developed?
Physicians have long used acoustic pulses to help patients ease the pain associated with poor circulation and stiff joints and tendons. Acoustic Wave Therapy™ (AWT™), has adapted this technology to improve the appearance of the skin.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How does Acoustic Wave Therapy™ work?
AWT mechanically vibrates connective tissue in affected areas of the body, improving the skin appearance by:
- Causing the connective tissue to stretch, which increases its elasticity;
- Producing localized edema that increases vascularization (the organic process whereby body tissue develops capillaries), ensuring better exchanges to the connective tissue;
- Producing an inflammatory reaction that triggers the release of healing mediators and thickens the band of collagen being deposited in the upper and mid portions of the skin.

What results are achieved with the Acoustic Wave Therapy™ program?
Visible firming and smoothing of the skin is evident in before-and-after photos. Initial clinical study results show that AWT™ patients typically experience:
- Improvement in skin texture
- Improvement in skin elasticity
- Dermal firming
What is the AWT treatment program?
Patients are treated twice per week for three weeks. Sessions typically last less than a half hour. Additional treatments are necessary for about 20 percent of patients. We recommend that patients have a maintenance session once every three months after completing the initial program.
