Shockwave Treatment is non-invasive, safe and recognised treatment for the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite is often characterised by lumpy and uneven looking skin that typically effects up to 85% of women in the hips, buttocks and upper legs. At our Shockwave Centre in Worthing, we can help reduce the appearance of cellulite by targeting the connective tissue laying beneath the surface of the skin that causes cellulite. Shockwave Treatment can help you rediscover the smoother appearance you’re looking for within weeks.
Comfortable and Pain-Free Treatment
Our Shockwave Therapists use a completely painless application that only takes 20 minutes, whilst you lay comfortably in one of our modern treatment rooms. You can choose a male or female Shockwave Therapist at a time that suits you, Monday to Friday.
Backed up by Research
Shockwave shown to be safe and effective treatment options for cellulite.
(Sattler et al, 2008, Knobloch et al, 2013, Russe-Wilflingseder et al, 2013, Braun et al, 2005, Angehrn et al, 2007, Christ et al, 2008, Christ et al, 2008, Adatto et al, 2010, Kuhn et al, 2008)
Research has suggested pressure or acoustic waves are effective in disrupting the sclerotic fibrous tissue septae responsible for much of the uneven appearance of cellulite (Siems et al 2005). However other effects have been postulated; Braun et al (2005) said the stimulation of blood and lymph circulation, increased membrane permeability, and the stimulation of the exchange of blood lipids. Angehrn et al (2007) said shockwave stimulated the metabolism of fat cells and increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, endothelial nitric oxide synthase, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Christ et al (2008) said reduced oxidative stress. Siems et al (2005) thought increased antioxidants (including ascorbic acid). Kuhn et al (2008) described induction of neocollagenogenesis and neoelastinogenesis. Ferraro et al (2012) thought increased angiogenesis and apoptosis of fat cells triggered by inflammation, and activation of C nerve fibers in the skin and release of substance P according to Schlaudraff et al (2014).
Results
During your initial consultation we will discuss likely outcomes and treatment recommendations. At our Shockwave Centre we use the cellulite scale grading of 1-3. Lifestyle factors and genetic predisposition may impact results. An initial consultation includes a first treatment without any committment to follow up.
