Acoustic shockwave therapy
A non-invasive method in which acoustic waves penetrate the subcutaneous tissue, promoting blood circulation and collagen production. It can help reduce the appearance of cellulite, firm the skin of the body and smooth facial contours. Treatment is always preceded by a consultation.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
Acoustic shockwave treatment is suitable for women and men with grade I to III cellulite and for those who want to reduce the circumference of selected areas or firm their skin. It can also be used to improve scars and stretch marks, to strengthen muscle and connective tissue, or to reduce swelling in lymphoedema. Facial treatment is a separate area that helps gently tighten the skin and smooth fine wrinkles. The doctor will assess the suitability of the therapy and the recommended number of treatments at the consultation.
Facial shockwave treatment
Acoustic shockwave therapy is also used in facial skin care. The treatment is painless, with only minimal pressure applied to the treated area. Acoustic waves stimulate collagen production and blood circulation, which can help tighten the skin, firm facial contours and smooth fine wrinkles. For the face, a series of seven treatments at weekly intervals is recommended. The effect develops gradually and, thanks to natural tissue renewal, can last for many months.

How acoustic shockwave therapy works
High-frequency acoustic waves pass through the skin into the subcutaneous tissue, where they activate natural regenerative processes. They improve blood circulation and lymph flow and stimulate the production of collagen, which is important for skin firmness and elasticity. The result can be firmer, smoother skin, a reduced appearance of cellulite and a smaller circumference of the treated area. The effect comes gradually – clients usually notice an improvement in skin texture after about four treatments.
Acoustic shockwave therapy combines well with cryolipolysis. Shockwaves can speed up the breakdown of fat cells damaged by cold, stimulate collagen production and help firm the skin. Five treatments are recommended: the first immediately after cryolipolysis, followed by four more once a week. If needed, the last one can be combined with another cryolipolysis session. The doctor will propose a specific combined therapy plan at the consultation, according to the area being treated.

Course of the treatment
After the consultation, the specialist will propose the number and frequency of treatments. For body treatment, a series of 6 to 12 sessions is usually recommended, performed once or ideally twice a week. During the procedure, the specialist moves an applicator over the treated area, sending acoustic waves into the tissue. An improvement in skin texture and firmness is usually visible after about four treatments; the maximum effect develops gradually after the series is completed, and results may be visible for up to six months.
Aftercare
Acoustic shockwave therapy is a non-invasive method that requires no special aftercare or recovery. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. To maintain and support the results, we recommend increasing your fluid intake, including light exercise and walks, and following a healthy, balanced diet. These habits support blood circulation and lymph flow, which the treatment builds on, and help maintain the effect of the therapy.
