Are you trying to get rid of stubborn cellulite? A course of Shockwave therapy can greatly reduce the appearance of cellulite. Healthy skin requires good blood flow and consistent levels of fat. Shockwave therapy will improve blood flow to the skin and reduce the volume of fat by helping your cells flush away unwanted fatty acids.

Shockwave therapy works by stimulating fat breakdown, collagen synthesis, and lymphatic drainage. It is delivered by placing a probe up against the areas of cellulite. As it passes over the area, it emits Radial Waves through the skin.
