How AWT Works on Connective Tissue.
Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) mechanically vibrates connective tissue in affected areas of the body, improving the skin’s appearance by:
Causing the connective tissue to stretch, which increases its elasticity;
producing increased vascularisation (the organic process whereby body tissue develops capillaries), ensuring a better exchange process to the connective tissue;
producing an inflammatory reaction that triggers the release of healing mediators, creating fibroblastic proliferation leading to a new, thickened band of collagen being deposited in the upper and mid portions of the skin.

“To understand an effective treatment for cellulite we must first understand what causes the problem.”

BEFORE
		Enlarged fat cells push the skin up and compress the circulatory system, reducing inflow of nutrients and outflow of waste products. Diminished exchanges in circulation lead to a gradual stiffening of the connective tissue, pulling down on the skin. The push/pull effect creates the appearance of cellulite.
DURING
		The mechanical action of AWT: - Disrupts the connective tissue to firm and smooth the skin. - Causes neo-vascularisation, improving circulatory exchanges (the root cause of the problem). - Initiates an inflammatory process in the skin, leading to thicker, more elastic skin through collagen production.
AFTER
		The elasticity of the connective tissue is restored and the skin is smoother. The skin is thicker and more elastic with noticeable improvement in the skin’s texture.
