Skin elasticity decreases with age. The typical orange peel appearance on thighs, buttocks and upper arms affects 80% of all women. Cellulite has become a big issue in our affluent society and thus has a signifi cant impact on the quality of life and joy of living.
Acoustic Wave Treatment is a modern, highly effective treatment method characterised by the application of acoustic sound 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 to cellulite or to reverse and eliminate visible signs of cellulite.
Cellulite typically appears on the thighs, buttocks and upper arms. The connective tissue is soft and elastic and exhibits a wide-meshed network of collagen fibres to en-able stretching during pregnancy. An imbalance between fat production (lipogenesis) and fat breakdown (lipolysis) within the cells leads to the formation of large fat cells that are typical of cellulite, giving the skin the typical dimpled orange peel appearance.
What is Acoustic Wave Therapy™ and why is it effective in cellulite treatment?
Acoustic Wave Treatment uses acoustic sound waves which are gently introduced into the affected body regions. Acoustic waves have been used in medicine with great success since 1980 for the disintegration of kidney stones and since 1990 for the treatment of tendon and muscle disorders. Modern cellulite treatment applies acoustic sound waves to cellulite regions.
The results are:
- skin smoothing and rejuvenation
- breakdown of fat deposits
- connective tissue tightening
- improved retention of fat cells in the subcutis
- reduced circumference of affected body regions (Slimming)
Measurable and visible results
Studies conducted in Switzerland, Germany and the US have shown a 110% improvement in skin elasticity in the female patients treated. All patients participating in the study were highly satisfied with the Acoustic Wave Treatment.

Treatment procedure
Contact gel or skin oil is applied to the treatment region to ensure that the acoustic sound waves are introduced into the body without energy loss. Treatment is completely painless.
Treatment duration and frequency
On average, each cellulite treatment session takes about 30 minutes. Depending on the degree of cellulite, 6 to 10 sessions at 3 to 4 days intervals may be necessary.
Recommended accompanying measures
Acoustic Wave Treatment should be accompanied by 30 minutes physical exercise per day, a low-fat diet and 2 to 3 litres of liquid per day to ensure rapid elimination of waste products.
