If you have dreaded cellulite that won’t budge, no matter what you try, then Skin Tech Clinic can help with Shockwave.
Our award-winning, latest 3D Lipo Shockwave technology helps you visibly and drastically smooth out your cellulite with a course of treatments. In some cases, it is completely eliminated in that area. The shockwave energy is very focused and the pressure encourages the breakdown of hard fibrous cellulite.
Shockwave originated from the medical field where it was pioneered to break down kidney stones. Recent studies have shown that acoustic waves may stimulate the metabolic process and improve connective tissue elasticity. It works in four ways:
Cellulite is much more common in women due to the difference in the way our collagen and elastin fibres are structured.
If you have cellulite – no doubt you’ve noticed it gets worse over time. It rarely gets better unless you make huge lifestyle changes, such as:
A combination of all these would certainly help over time and you should do what you can to help your body in these positive ways.

It has been described as not painful but only occasionally uncomfortable.
The area will look red due to increased blood flow.
Occasionally there may be bruising but these bruises will be very small.
Results are seen immediately and improve over the next 2-3 weeks. These treatments build on themselves and you will see improvements each time.
Results will be permanent or long-lasting as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle and exercise.
It is good to see shockwave therapy as part of a bigger picture, where you are committed to becoming healthier, have good diet, don’t drink regularly to excess and take some regular exercise as well as ensuring your body is well hydrated to ensure cellulite is kept at bay but you can have more than one course of treatments in the year.
Most people can be treated with Shockwave therapy but we always recommend you have a consultation with a trained and experienced practitioner to discuss your concerns, expectations and medical background.
It is important you feel confident that you have chosen a treatment that is right for you.
You may have other areas of concern such as loose skin or cellulite, which we can also work on. This will be discussed at consultation to make sure all your concerns are being treated.
