Shockwave for Cellulite
If you have dreaded cellulite that won’t budge, no matter what you try, then Skin Tech Clinic can help with Shockwave.
Our award-winning, latest 3D Lipo Shockwave technology helps you visibly and drastically smooth out your cellulite with a course of treatments. In some cases, it is completely eliminated in that area. The shockwave energy is very focused and the pressure encourages the breakdown of hard fibrous cellulite.
How does it work?
Shockwave originated from the medical field where it was pioneered to break down kidney stones. Recent studies have shown that acoustic waves may stimulate the metabolic process and improve connective tissue elasticity. It works in four ways:
- The mechanical effect of the shockwave means that the connective tissue in the area is mobilised and flexed and so will loosen but also strengthen as shown in the diagram below. Elastin also becomes denser and so this improves skin flexibility and firmness.
- Shockwave increases blood flow to the area due to the high pressure of the treatment. This increased blood flow increases the size of the existing blood vessels as well as encouraging the creation of new ones (Neovascularisation). Better blood flow increases nutrients and oxygen to the area and so has long-term benefits in many ways.
- The vibration from the shockwave transfers to the muscles, resulting in the muscles resisting and contracting creating a toning effect similar to that of a power plate.
- helps lymphatic drainage for removal of broken down fats to drain away in the lymph to be processed out of the body.
Cellulite is much more common in women due to the difference in the way our collagen and elastin fibres are structured.
