Let's discuss how the procedure goes.
- Consultation:
If you take the treatment from a reliable source, like MedAmor, a thorough consultation is always performed by highly qualified HCPs before the procedure. It may involve an assessment form and the patient’s medical history, which will help the doctor know about the effective range of shockwave procedure that needs to be administered.
- Preparation:
On the day of the procedure, the patient is advised to clean the area where shockwaves are going to be applied. Topical anaesthesia might also be given to keep the patient convenient during the session.
- Shockwave therapy application:
After the patient’s consent, the hand-held shockwave device is placed over the targeted area, and releases high-energy sound wave impulses, while it is monitored via a screen. When delivered, these sound impulses penetrate in different layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue, triggering the breakage of the lipid cells in subcutaneous tissue and/or healing mechanism in different tissue layers.
- Collagen production:
The sound waves, with their healing mechanism activation, stimulate collagen production and maintain the tone and elasticity of the skin. The new collagen fibres tighten the skin and rejuvenate it, providing a smooth texture.
- Increased blood circulation:
The therapy also increases the blood circulation in the region. It helps capillaries and the treated area with a better exchange mechanism, removing the toxins and unwanted material, and increasing the absorption of essential nutrients that maintain a healthy tissue.

One of the superiorities of this procedure is its minimal downtime and clients can continue their daily activities early after the treatment session.
