Localized Fat
One of the most commonly used methods to reduce localized fat is shockwave therapy. These are high-power acoustic waves applied in a controlled manner, penetrating fat molecules (adipocytes) and effectively reducing their size.
When applied to areas with localized fat deposits, shockwaves promote fat reabsorption, leading to a localized volume reduction. This treatment can also be used on areas prone to skin laxity, improving skin elasticity and appearance.
Shockwaves are primarily used to reduce localized fat deposits, but they also help improve the appearance of localized cellulite and contribute to smoother, firmer skin.
Not at all. When properly applied, shockwaves do not cause any pain.
The number of sessions required depends on the degree of fat accumulation and any complementary treatments being used. Your doctor will determine the appropriate number of sessions, but a minimum of 5 sessions is recommended to start seeing results.
