AWT
"Acoustic wave therapy (AWT) is a therapy method that uses bundled sound waves to trigger both physical and biological effects in the skin. These stimulations, which are perceived as vibrations, are used to combat cellulite and scars and promote firm, healthy skin. Suitable areas for treatment are the face, arms, stomach, legs and bottom. AWT can be carried out all year round and does not involve any downtime. The treatment is suitable for all skin types."
AWT Mode of action
Acoustic wave therapy, also known as shock wave therapy, uses bundled sound waves of high energy and frequency to reach deep tissue layers. These high-energy waves trigger a series of physical and biological processes that lead to an improvement in skin structure. They increase the metabolism, improve microcirculation and increase tissue elasticity through the formation of new blood vessels and the activation of stem cells and growth factors. These processes lead to numerous positive effects that need to be exploited!
AWT Face can be combined with cupping. This enables two gentle, non-invasive treatments for skin tightening and improving skin quality.
AWT treatment options
Acoustic wave therapy (AWT) offers a wide range of treatment options. Among these, it can be used to treat the following conditions:
- Anti-cellulite treatment: AWT is effective in reducing cellulite, especially on the stomach, legs, buttocks, and upper arms.
- Body shaping: For shaping the body and reducing fat deposits.
- Support for weight loss: Tissue activation and lymphatic drainage support the body's natural functions.
- Treatment of stretch marks: AWT promotes skin renewal and improves the appearance of stretch marks.
- Facial treatments: To firm the tissue or as part of a smart aging program.
- Tattoo removal: We use the properties of lymphatic drainage in addition to laser treatment to remove tattoos more quickly. This allows the pigments to be transported away more quickly by the lymphatic system.
AWT Procedure
Preparation for the treatment: Before the treatment, a personal consultation is held with the doctor to discuss the concerns and treatment goals and to receive instructions for optimal preparation. If volume reduction is desired, the patient is advised to follow a calorie-reduced diet.
During the treatment: The duration of the AWT depends on the area to be treated. In a typical 50-minute session, up to three palm-sized areas can be treated. The therapy itself is relatively painless and requires no downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily lives immediately. The first effect can be felt immediately after the treatment!
After the treatment: To support the effect of the treatment, we recommend staying active after the treatment and drinking 2-3 liters of water throughout the day. Muscle development and regular exercise are crucial for improving the appearance of the skin after treatment. In addition, a free analysis with the InBody device is offered to objectively monitor progress and customize further consultations.
