Shock Wave Therapy

Shock wave therapy integrates effectively into Image's multidisciplinary approach to body remodeling, combining advanced technologies with complementary treatments like injective ozone therapy and mesotherapy. The acoustic waves stimulate the body's natural biological processes, improving skin tone, lymphatic drainage, and significantly reducing cellulite appearance. Injective ozone therapy enhances these effects by improving microcirculation and tissue oxygenation. Image's unique protocol leverages operator expertise and anatomy knowledge for optimal machine use, ensuring harmonious and lasting results.

About the Treatment

Shock Wave Therapy

Originally developed for kidney stones, shock wave technology uses high-energy acoustic waves to activate natural body regeneration. The V-ACTOR system complements the main handpiece with high-frequency vibrations, improving lymphatic drainage and tissue oxygenation.

The therapy works deep within tissues, stimulating extracellular matrix and collagen/elastin production. Clinical studies show average leg circumference reduction of 3cm every two sessions, with 89% patient satisfaction.
