Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT)
AWT is a modern, highly effective treatment method characterized by the application of acoustic pressure waves to the affected body regions. This innovative treatment method is chosen by an increasing number of women as a preventive treatment to reduce their susceptibility and/or to reverse and eliminate visible signs of connective tissue disorders.
AWT performed with the radial applicator uses high-energy acoustic waves that are introduced into the patient‘s body in the form of high-frequency oscillations. AWT is the first effective and long lasting treatment modality for treating connective tissue disorders. Acoustic pressure waves have been used in medicine with great success since 1980 for the disintegration of kidney stones and since 1992 for the treatment of orthopedic conditions including acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Measurable and Visible Results
AWT has been successfully used in aesthetic medicine in the course of several clinical application studies. AWT treatment has a multilayer effect.
- Skin – skin tightening, better skin structure and contour
- Fatty tissue – increased blood flow, activation of metabolism, stimulation of lipolysis and body shaping
- Connective tissue – stimulation and activation of collagen formation
- Lymphatic system – improved circulation and drainage
- Muscle – normalization of muscle tone
Treatment areas include:
- Upper arms
- Stomach
- Gluteal region
- Thighs / Saddle bags
- Surgical Scars
How is the treatment performed?
Your medical professional will apply coupling gel to the treatment area to enhance treatment effectiveness. After these preparations, acoustic pressure waves are released via the applicator and moved over the entire treatment region.
What is the duration of the treatment and how many treatments will I need?
Treatment sessions take approximately 20 minutes depending on the number of areas to be treated. Generally, 8–12 treatment sessions (2 per week) are necessary.
What will happen after the treatment?
You will receive post treatment instructions from your physician, however, you will be able to immediately resume normal activities.
Is it safe?
Yes. This FDA cleared technology was developed in Europe and is currently used around the globe. The non-invasive treatment has virtually no risks or side effects. A wealth of medical experience, state-of-the-art engineering and optimal quality have been built into each device, and extensive clinical studies and tests have confirmed its safety and efficacy.
If performed by a qualified medical professional, AWT has virtually no risks or side effects.
It’s AWT that makes the difference.
AWT treatment has proven results and these results are reflected in its high patient satisfaction. In our pilot study (Sattler, Aesthetic Dermatology February 2008) , 91% of patients would recommend AWT to other patients. The women noticed an improvement in their skin in an ave rage of only 2.5 sessions with no side effects reported.
