Acoustic Shockwave Rejuvenation & Cellulite Therapy (AWT)

Acoustic wave therapy (AWT) using a Storz Medical Masterpuls MP100 radial shockwave device to firm skin and target cellulite and stretch marks. Acoustic pulses penetrate to around six centimetres, stimulating collagen remodelling, microcirculation and lymphatic flow while reducing fat-cell volume. At this Brno clinic the treatment has no social downtime — the skin briefly pinkens and there is only a tingling, vibrating sensation — and because it causes no photosensitivity it can be done year-round. The base programme is eight weekly sessions.

Acoustic wave therapy delivers rapid radial pressure pulses into the tissue, where the mechanical energy stimulates fibroblasts to remodel collagen, boosts microcirculation and lymphatic drainage, and disrupts the structure of enlarged fat lobules that contribute to the dimpled appearance of cellulite. At Ambulance estetické dermatologie MUDr. Mojmír Müller the device is a Storz Medical Masterpuls MP100, from the world's largest manufacturer of acoustic shockwave systems; its pulses reach effectively to about six centimetres of depth, allowing it to treat both fine facial skin and larger body zones such as the thighs, buttocks and abdomen, as well as stretch marks. A session involves passing the handpiece over the target area while a coupling gel transmits the pulses; the sensation is a tolerable tingling and vibration rather than pain. There is no social downtime — the skin may pinken briefly and then return to normal — and because the treatment does not cause photosensitivity it can be carried out at any time of year. The recommended base programme is eight sessions at weekly intervals, after which the skin continues to firm for a further two to three months as new collagen matures; maintenance every two to three months helps preserve the result. Prepaying a course of eight is substantially cheaper than single sessions, and combining several body areas in one programme can save up to a further ten percent. The treatment suits people wanting non-invasive skin firming or improvement in the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks without injections, downtime or anaesthesia; the dermatologist reviews suitability and contraindications before starting.
