What is Acoustic Wave Therapy?
Acoustic wave therapy is a treatment developed for purposes such as skin tightening, smoothness, shaping and thinning of the body. Its working principle is to separate the adipose tissue and the connective tissue from each other by the help of sound waves. In this way, the freed adipose tissue breaks down and dissolves and disappears. Sound waves affect not only adipose tissue, but also blood circulation and muscle tissue. By accelerating the blood circulation in the application area, the metabolic rate is increased, thus contributing to fat burning. At the end of the treatment, a firmer, toned, elastic and smooth aesthetic appearance is achieved. It is a very safe and painless treatment method for sagging skin, cracks, cellulite and regional lubrication.
For Which Situations Can it be Applied?
Cellulite formation is observed in areas of the body that are prone to lubrication due to daily habits such as poor diet, not consuming enough water, sedentary lifestyle or genetic predisposition. Cellulite is essentially roughness on the skin surface due to the irregular proliferation of adipose tissue. It usually concentrates on the hips, legs and arms. With the effect of acoustic waves reaching the tissues at a speed of 1500 m/s and the accelerated blood circulation, the fat tissue is removed from the area. At the end of 1-2 months, tightening, smoothing, reduction in adipose tissue and revitalization of the skin are observed in the area treated with acoustic wave therapy. In addition to a visible improvement in cellulite, new cellulite that may occur with acoustic wave therapy can also be prevented.
Acoustic wave therapy, which is also used for regional thinning, can achieve successful results in areas that are most prone to lubrication such as arms, legs, hips, and belly. The sagging problem of the skin in the relevant area is eliminated, visible thinning is recorded along with skin tightening and reduction in fat tissue. The jowl and cleavage, that is, the neck area, which is another problem that cannot be solved even if weight is lost most of the time, can be treated with special caps selected for these areas. With acoustic waves, the gravitational fat layer in the region is reduced, the skin is regained its old elasticity and a younger aesthetic appearance is achieved.
Acoustic wave therapy can also be a solution to the crack problem, which is often experienced in cases such as pregnancy. It is a method that can also be used to remove cracks with its tightening and regeneration effect on the skin.

Except for such special cases, there are no restrictions.
How is it Applied?
Working caps suitable for the application area are selected and cold gel is applied to the area. The device is applied on the skin surface in the form of massage. In the place where the device passes, a second-second pressure and vibration is felt with the effect of shock waves. The application rate varies according to the density of the fat tissue under the skin. It is applied to each area for about half an hour. After this procedure, which is extremely comfortable and painless, daily life can be continued as normal.
It is possible to get successful results after about 8 sessions. It is recommended to leave an interval of 3-4 days or 2-3 weeks between sessions by evaluating the situation. Better results are obtained if the treatment is supported by eating a diet low in fat and rich in protein, drinking 2-3 liters of water a day and exercising for half an hour during the treatment process. Especially water consumption is very important in terms of removing the fat tissue from the area. In this process, alcohol and cigarette consumption should be limited, blood thinners and antibiotics should be discontinued if used.
