Shockwave
Medical therapy with Shockwave, has been used since the 1970s initially in urology, for kidney stones, then in orthopaedics and physiatrics. Today, this technology is also used in aesthetic medicine for the reduction of panniculus adiposusof the cellulite and water retention and tissue regeneration. It must be said, in fact, that the Shockwaves have different effects depending on the tissue they act on, and therefore offer a wide range of applications in different medical fields. In aesthetic medicine in particular, different areas of the body can be satisfactorily treated. Moreover, it can be an effective and non-invasive treatment for the resolution of various pathologies and imperfections, a valid alternative to surgery.
Medikalbeauty Institutein the customised courses offered to customers, offers, among others, the Medical shockwave to act on localised panniculus adiposus and the cellulite. The treatment has a stimulating effect on tissue regeneration, in order to make the body tissue more compact, firmed and smooth and to encourage the body remodelling.
How does it work?
Shockwave and localised adiposity:
The devices used in the MedikalBeauty Institute combine a vacuum therapy action, which originates from ancient Chinese medicine and promotes microcirculation and skin trophism, with theShockwave, which, based on an advanced ballistic system, releases a strong energy, concentrated, thanks to the vacuum, in the area to be treated. The energy generated by the shockwave is therefore concentrated on the adipose fold, sucked by the vacuum therapy system, avoiding unnecessary dispersion. The treatment acts locally, in depth, in the adipose tissue initiating a biological and structural process of the adipose cell for release (lipoclasia) and fat disposal. The treatment is used for counteracting cellulite, the water retention, and the adiposity localised, to help restore skin trophism and reshape the body, but not only...
La cellulite affects almost all women, rarely men.
Despite being so widespread, the cellulite has a strong negative psychological impact on women.
More or less severely affected, they were classified 3 stages of gravity, from the mildest to the most intense. The use of the Shockwave in aesthetic medicine, is recommended as early as stage 1 of cellulite. The treatment is non-invasive and the first results are already visible, usually in the short term, and continue and increase over the course of the sessions.
The application of the Shockwave produces the weakening of the fibrous septa, favours vascularisation and leads to an increase in local blood flow, thus favouring the drainage of interstitial transudate, and it is good to know that it is precisely dysfunctions linked to the microcirculation and in particular precisely the lack of local blood flow, that are at the origin of oedematous-fibrosclerotic panniculopathy or PEFS or CELLULITE. Treatment with Shockwave has a normalising effect on tissue structure.
Shockwave and tissue regeneration:
Shockwave treatment counteracts laxityits action in fact stimulates the regeneration and promotes tissue recovery processes, the mechanical action produced by the Shockwave stimulates a remodelling of the extracellular matrix with increased production of collagen and elastin by fibroblasts as well as the proliferation of stem cells, naturally promoting skin rejuvenation. The treated area, both visually and to the touch, will be firmer, firmer, more elastic, with a marked reduction in hollows and less painful to the touch.
Which areas can be treated
the technology of Shockwave can be applied to: CALVES, THIGHS, BUTTOCKS, HIPS, ABDOMEN, ARMS.
How the shockwave treatment comes:
The treatment consists oftissue aspirationby means of a handpiece applied to the skin. The vacuum maintains a constant plica in the skin by inducing superficial vasodilation, the compression acts on capillaries and the lymphatic system. The vacuum rhythm induces a persistent vasoconstriction effect, a kind of vascular gymnastics, the plica is 'bombed' by theShockwave. The sensation perceived during treatment may be of discomfort or slight pain. Post-treatment does not create any particular problems, the treated area may show some redness, sometimes bruising or broken capillaries may occur.
Shockwave costs:
A session of Shockwave costs between 100 and 150 €. At the MedikalBeauty Institute the shockwave treatment is often included in customised pathscombined with other technologies, the course is carried out under medical supervision and combined with dietary advice from an expert nutritionist. The check-up is free of charge and non-binding for more detailed information on your specific case.
The advice is to be wary of prices that are too low, which may be linked to underpowered or dysfunctional equipment and improvised operators. Remember that the treatment must be performed in medical clinics.
Contraindications
Shockwave treatment is usually well tolerated and there are few cases in which it cannot be applied, however, it is important to carefully read the information consent and undergo a medical check-up before treatment. It is important to go to a specialised centre; the treatment must be carried out in a doctor's surgery, by experienced personnel. A preliminary check-up is necessary to assess the individual case, here We can say, in general terms, that the shock wave, like other regenerative therapies, is not recommended for those suffering from heart disease, circulatory and oncological pathologies, pace maker wearers and in the presence of metal prostheses in the area to be treated. It is not recommended in cases of capillary fragility, as the mechanical action may increase capillary rupture.
