Shockwaves Bologna

In the outpatient clinic MedikalBeauty Institute in Bologna we use medical shock waves as a solution non-surgical to counter cellulite, water retention, skin laxity e localised adiposity, with a progressive improvement in firmness and tissue quality.

What the shock wave is and how it works

Le shock waves are high-energy mechanical impulses that originated in urology in the 1970s and were later applied in orthopaedics and physiatry. In aesthetic medicine act on adipose pannicles e microcirculation, generating biological responses useful for:

• loosen fibrous septa responsible for the 'orange peel' effect;
• increase vascularisation e blood flow local;
• stimulate fibroblasts, collagen and elastin for a true tissue regeneration.

The result is a more smooth, firm and elastic, with reduced depressions and increased comfort to the touch.

Combined technology: Shockwave + Vacuum therapy

In our protocols in Bologna we employ devices that combine vacuum therapy (controlled aspiration of the plica) to the’ballistic shockwave. The vacuum concentrates the pulse energy in the target zone, avoiding dispersion, while favouring microcirculation and skin trophism, activating mechanisms of lipoclasia and subsequent disposal of the released lipids.

Benefits of shockwave treatment in Bologna

• Visible improvement inappearance of cellulite already from the first cycles
• Drainage of liquids and tissue lightening
• Remodelling of critical areas and increasedelasticity
• Effect skin tightening thanks to the rearrangement of the extracellular matrix
• Procedure non-invasivealternative to the scalpel when indicated

Negotiable zones

We treat, unless contraindicated, calves, thighs, buttocks, hips, abdomen, arms. A medical check-up preliminary defines priorities and parameters and distinguishes real PEFS (cellulitis) from similar conditions.

How a session is conducted and recommended route

The handpiece creates a plica through vacuum and the hits with pulses of shockwave. The perception is of pressure/pain sometimes with slight pain; possible redness transient or small bruises in susceptible individuals.
We often insert the treatment in customised pathswith lymphatic drainage/pressotherapy, nutritional claims and other complementary technologies. 

When to start and how many sessions

Shockwave is recommended already at stage 1 of cellulite: changes tend to be quick e cumulative with sessions. The number of meetings is defined by the doctor according to severity, area to be treated and individual response.

Safety and contraindications

The method is generally well tolerated, but must be executed in the doctor's surgery, after informed consent and clinical evaluation. È not recommended in case of heart disease, circulatory or oncological pathologies, pacemaker, metal prostheses in the area, and capillary fragility marked. Avoid abnormal prices and unsuitable equipment: safety and competence are priorities.
