Shock wave: repairing impulses

What are Shock Waves?

Shock waves are high-energy acoustic waves that propagate radially in biological tissues. These waves are characterized by a sudden pressure spike, followed by a negative phase that generates cavitation, which induces the initiation of a major localized metabolic acceleration process.

Main Application Fields

Shock waves are extremely effective in deep stimulation and oxygenation, tissue regeneration, and reduction of myofascial pain. This makes them a versatile technology suitable for a variety of applications.

Aesthetic Medicine

Elasticizing Massage, Skin Rejuvenation, Cutaneous Firming, Edematous, Fibrous, Sclerotic Cellulite, Scars, Lymphatic Drainage.

Extensive studies of shock wave therapy have demonstrated a success rate of more than 90% (1), evaluating it as a safe and effective methodology, finding significant reduction in pain, improvement in functional activities and quality of life.

Therapies are generally performed once a week for a duration of about 10 minutes; most injuries require a minimum of 3 sessions, so ideally, 3 consecutive weeks of treatment should be scheduled.
