Is it a magic wand for cellulite? In this Healthy Living report, a brand new treatment that doctors say really works!Like so many women, Theresa has battled cellulite for yeas, but she’s hoping to be bathing suit ready in just a few weeks.“I’m going on vacation and I like to stay in shape,” Theresa said.After trying other methods that didn’t work she’s now trying acoustic wave therapy.“To have smooth looking skin, not the dimples,” says Theresa.Acoustic Wave is one of the newest treatments for cellulite, and is different from other methods. “Acoustic Wave is non-invasive, no needles, no pins, no pain associated with it,” says Dr. Joe Eyring from Trubella MedSpa.This wand sends out sound waves to break up the connective tissue that causes the skin to dimple.
“You get the dimpling because these strands pull down on the skin. by breaking it up, you release that,” said Dr. Eyring.Before and after photos show the results. This treatment can be used on all skin types but a small percentage of patients don’t respond at all. Treatments take about five minutes, are completely non-invasive and pain free.“I think it actually feels like a nice deep tissue massage,” says aesthetician for Trubella Amy Curtis.
6 treatments are required, with occasional touch-ups and patients usually notice results after a few weeks. Doctors say it’s so new it’s too early to tell if the effects are long lasting.“Right now it’s a great therapy short term, it has no potential risks we’ve been able to find and it works,” says Dr. Eyring.If you take blood thinners you are not a candidate for this treatment.A package of 6 treatments at the spa where we shot our story, costs about $750.
