In acoustic sound wave therapy, the fats in the treatment area are destroyed and the cell membrane permeability is increased, so that the excess fat in the membrane is removed from the body. In addition to self-repair of the skin, thanks to the sound waves that support the network system formed for the tightening of the connective tissues, the appearance of cellulite decreases and regional thinning occurs, while at the same time, thanks to the repair under the skin, tightening is observed in the treatment area. In the acoustic sound wave therapy treatment, which supports the production of collagen in the skin and helps the skin to repair itself by the pressure exerted by high pressure sound waves on the skin tissues, patients do not feel any pain or ache while all these changes occur under the skin.
