What is Cellushock?
For millions of women around the world, cellulite is a major cosmetic problem. Unlike normal fat, cellulite cannot be eliminated with conventional exercise and diet alone and also worsens over time when left untreated. One of the highly effective treatments for cellulite, and in fact pleasant and completely safe, is acoustic ultrasound or acoustic wave therapy (AWT).
Shockwave therapy uses oscillating acoustic ultrasound to create sound waves and vibrations that are sent beneath the surface of the skin. In that way it breaks down and relaxes the connective tissue fibers that pull down the skin and cause cellulite and the characteristic dimpling.It also enhances blood circulation in the tissues and stimulates collagen production. This results in stronger and smoother skin and a noticeable reduction in cellulite, in a completely natural way.
Initially, acoustic ultrasound was used in Urology, as a method of extracorporeal lithotripsy to break up kidney stones and then in Orthopedics, as a method of relaxing stiffness in muscles and tendons. So its abilities for mechanical breakdown of hardenings, such as kidney stones, were the trigger to test it in the breakdown of cellulite fibers, where it also had excellent results. If acoustic ultrasound has the ability to break up kidney stones, imagine what it can do to cellulite fibrosis.

Cellushock Treatment Step by Step
Marking
The first step of treatment involves photographing the treatment areas so that treatment progress can be referenced and recorded over time. Then the marking is done, i.e. the marking of the areas to be treated, which must always be done in an upright position, for better evaluation of the problem.
Headpiece Selection
Then a special gel is applied to the treatment area, so that the headpiece that will be selected can slide easily and not cause any kind of irritation to the skin. Then, depending on the thickness of the skin and the extent of the problem, the appropriate headpiece is selected.
Intensity Selection
The ability to adjust the intensity and depth of action of the acoustic waves to the specific needs of each person and each area where the treatment will be applied, makes the Cellushock Acoustic Wave Therapy technology extremely effective. For lipolysis and reduction of local fat, the acoustic wave adjustment is focused to a depth of about 20 millimeters so that the energy can act on the fatty tissue.
This leads to the liquefaction of fat and the reduction of the number of fat cells, in order to reduce the thickness of fat accumulation in the area. On the contrary, for addressing skin laxity and cellulite’s fibers breakdown, the acoustic wave adjustment is focused more superficially at a depth of just 2-6mm.
Thus the energy acts on the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, relaxing and breaking down the fibers that pull down the skin and activating fibroblasts to cause production of new collagen. This leads to skin tightening and improvement of skin tone.
Application of Treatment and Temperature’s Control
The treatment begins and successive passages of the headpiece are made in the treatment area, until the vibrations are given uniformly at the intensity and at the desired depth, so that hyperemia appears in the area.
Instructions and Rescheduling of Next Appointment
After treatment, we will record the treatment plan in your medical file. This includes details of the areas treated, the intensities used and any other important information.
Then the next appointment is rescheduled, which for better and faster results should not exceed 7 days.
All you need to know about Shockwave Therapy
Instructions Before the Cellushock Treatment
You should adjust your diet and drink plenty of water for better metabolism and faster elimination of toxins.
The treatment with acoustic ultrasound can be uncomfortable on the days of menstruation and especially in the abdominal area and you might need to schedule your appointments not around these days.
Instructions After the Cellushock Treatment
If there is any redness after the treatment, apply a nourishing moisturizing cream or a soothing aloe vera cream to the area.
Immediately after the treatment, it would be good to continue with the increased consumption of water, approximately around 2 liters per day, to eliminate the toxins of the body, through urination.
Limit salt and alcohol intake, which causes fluid retention.
Try to do some form of aerobic exercise every day, such as walking or cycling or any other activity that pleases you, as this increases your metabolism and optimizes the results of your treatments.
Myths & Truths about Cellushock
Myth: Cellulite creams work just as well as Acoustic Wave Therapy
Truth: Cellulite creams may promise impressive results, but their results are usually modest and temporary. Most creams cannot penetrate deep enough into the skin to provide long-lasting tightening results. On the contrary, the treatment with acoustic ultrasound is much more effective as it causes the breakdown of cellulite fibers and at the same time tightens the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen from the inside, with more impressive and more permanent results.
Myth: I can have Shockwave Therapy during pregnancy
Truth: Unfortunately “mothers to be” will have to be a little patient, because pregnancy is one of the few contraindications of this treatment and it is better to postpone your treatment after your pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Myth: Shockwave Therapy is very expensive
Truth: Prices for shockwave therapy can vary depending on the extent of the treatment areas and the total length of the treatment protocol. In any case, this treatment is very affordable, compared to other medical procedures for cellulite.
Frequent Questions about Cellushock
Shockwave therapy is not only pain-free, but also provides wellness sensation and a deep tissue massage sensation, with a feeling of relaxation during your treatment. In essence, the procedure is completely painless and pleasant, as the only thing that is noticeable is the feeling of the headpiece sliding over the application areas.
As with any medical treatment, there are some people who cannot perform it. These include breastfeeding and pregnant women , as well as people who have metal implantsbecause they can interact with the energy of the sound waves and cause complications. Also, special attention is required for people with a severe problem of phlebitis and with varicose veins in the legs, as these may worsen.
