Cellulite is a problem that many women struggle with, regardless of age or lifestyle. Uneven skin texture, commonly referred to as "orange peel skin," can be a source of self-consciousness and impact overall well-being. Fortunately, modern aesthetic medicine offers effective cellulite reduction methods, one of which is shockwave therapy.
What is Cellulite?
Cellulite, or fibrous degeneration of connective tissue, is an aesthetic concern. It is characterized by the appearance of lumps, dimples, and uneven skin texture. This condition affects women more than men due to anatomical differences in connective tissue structure.
How Do We Treat Cellulite?
Shockwave therapy, also known as acoustic wave therapy, is a technology commonly used in physiotherapy to treat various conditions. It has also been adopted in non-invasive aesthetic medicine for cellulite reduction and body contouring, contributing to circumference reduction as well.
The procedure is performed using a specialized device that emits sound pulses, which are applied to specific areas of the body. These pulses create vibrations within the tissue, stimulating it. This process enhances blood and lymph circulation, improves tissue metabolism, and promotes toxin elimination. The primary goal of the treatment is to break down adipocytes, or fat cells.
After the treatment, the skin becomes more nourished and oxygenated, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which leads to improved firmness, elasticity, and density. Ultimately, the procedure reduces the appearance of cellulite and smooths out dimples.
For optimal results, a series of 6–10 treatments is recommended, performed 1–3 times per week. The exact number of sessions is determined based on individual needs.
