How Does Shockwave Therapy Help The Body?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive and safe treatment for several ailments. It works by emitting waves into certain parts of the body, to impact the tissues within the skin.
This article explores the many ways in which shockwave therapy could improve your life.
Fat Reduction
Shockwave therapy releases sound waves that can help to reduce fat. The sound waves penetrate through the skin and into the fat layer, causing the separation of fatty acids and glycerol within fat cells. The treatment also aids the flow and drainage of the lymphatic system, which will help to remove the broken down fat cells from the body. As a result of this, shockwave therapy is ideal for areas of the body where fat is hard to get rid of through a healthy lifestyle.
Improve Cellulite
The sound waves released from the shockwave machine can also help to treat cellulite. Cellulite is when the skin appears dimpled, which is caused by fatty tissues being close to the surface of the skin. When the machine emits sound waves into the skin, they help to increase the blood circulation to the target area. In turn, this encourages the separation of fatty acids and glycerol as mentioned above, reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Skin Tightening
Increased blood circulation as caused by shockwave therapy also has benefits in regards to skin tightening. The reason for this is that it stimulates the production of the protein collagen, which works to tighten the skin. This is ideal for reducing signs of ageing such as lines and wrinkles.
Injuries
Shockwave therapy can treat a variety of injuries that are often attained when playing sports. Examples of these include tendonitis, tennis elbow and other soft tissue injuries. The pressure of the waves emitted tricks the body into producing a healing response. There is then an increase in blood circulation, and this accelerates the repair of the tissues by encouraging the regeneration of cells.
There are still multiple studies taking place to test the effectiveness of shockwave therapy in treating sports injuries. However, it is thought that this treatment is perhaps the most successful non-surgical procedure in targeting tendons and ligaments.
This only begins to show the potential of shockwave therapy to improve people’s physical health and wellbeing, as well as their appearance. We are thrilled to announce that we now offer shockwave therapy at VIVO Body Studio! In fact, by combining this treatment with Cryolipolysis, you can see greater results in regards to fat loss.
