Acoustic Wave Treatment
Acoustic Wave Therapy: Your Skin and Body Renewal Solution
If you’re searching for a non-invasive, clinically backed treatment to revitalise your skin and sculpt your body, Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) is something you may want to consider. From targeting stubborn cellulite to improving skin texture and promoting healing from within, AWT is gaining popularity as treatment for body and skin renewal.
At DermClear, we use Acoustic Wave Therapy as part of our holistic, customisable aesthetic treatments to help you feel confident in your skin—without surgery or downtime.
How AWT Benefits the Body
Acoustic Wave Therapy offers a wide range of physiological benefits that go beyond surface-level aesthetics. It works by stimulating biological processes at the cellular level, supporting both internal regeneration and external transformation.
Stimulates Collagen Production
Collagen is the protein responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. As we age, collagen production slows down, leading to sagging and wrinkles. AWT stimulates fibroblasts—your skin’s collagen-producing cells—resulting in tighter, smoother and more youthful-looking skin.
Improves Blood Circulation
The acoustic pulses cause tiny vibrations that dilate blood vessels and increase microcirculation. This brings more oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, boosting your skin tone and texture.
Enhances Lymphatic Drainage
Poor lymphatic flow can lead to fluid retention and puffiness. AWT stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to flush out waste, reduce swelling and encourage detoxification at the cellular level.
Promotes Cell Regeneration
Acoustic waves activate dormant or damaged cells and promote new cell growth. This makes AWT especially effective in treating skin irregularities like stretch marks and scarring, where the skin structure has been compromised.
Reduces Inflammation
AWT can modulate inflammatory responses, making it beneficial not just for aesthetic improvements but also for pain relief and post-procedural recovery.
Aesthetic Applications of AWT
Cellulite Reduction
One of the most well-known uses of AWT is for treating cellulite. The acoustic waves break down fibrous connective tissue, improve microcirculation, and stimulate collagen—leading to smoother, more even skin over time. It’s a safe and effective alternative to surgical cellulite treatments.
Body Contouring and Fat Reduction
While not a fat-melting treatment on its own, AWT enhances the effects of other fat reduction modalities like cryolipolysis or RF lipolysis. It helps to improve skin tightness, reduce unevenness, and contour areas like the thighs, abdomen and arms.
Skin Rejuvenation
Whether on the face, neck, or décolletage, AWT can be used to firm and lift sagging skin, soften fine lines, and brighten dull complexions. It works particularly well in combination with other anti-ageing treatments.
Stretch Marks and Scarring
AWT supports tissue regeneration and collagen remodeling, helping to fade the appearance of stretch marks and improve the texture of surgical or acne scars. Results are most noticeable with a series of sessions.
What to Expect During an AWT Session
At DermClear, your Acoustic Wave Therapy journey starts with a consultation to assess your needs and goals. During the procedure:
- A handpiece is applied to the treatment area using a conductive gel.
- Acoustic waves are delivered in pulses—you may feel gentle tapping or a vibrating sensation.
- The session lasts 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated.
There is no need for anesthesia or special preparation. You can return to your normal activities immediately after.
Who is a Good Candidate for AWT?
You may be a suitable candidate for Acoustic Wave Therapy if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity or cellulite
- Want to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness
- Are close to your ideal body weight but want to refine contours
- Have stretch marks, scars, or post-liposuction irregularities
- Prefer non-invasive, downtime-free treatments
AWT is safe for most healthy individuals. However, it may not be suitable for those with pacemakers, bleeding disorders or certain skin conditions. During your consultation, we will review your medical history to ensure it’s the right fit.
Safety and Side Effects
AWT is generally well tolerated and low risk. Most patients experience only minor, temporary side effects, such as:
- Mild redness or warmth
- Slight tenderness or tingling
- Temporary bruising in sensitive areas
These symptoms typically subside within a few hours. Since AWT doesn’t break the skin or involve heat damage, there’s no risk of scarring, pigmentation changes, or infection when performed by trained professionals.
Results and Expectations
While you may notice some improvement after a single session, AWT results are cumulative. Most patients need a series of 6 to 10 weekly sessions for optimal results, depending on the concern being treated.
You should see improvements continue over the weeks following your final session as your body produces new collagen and repairs tissue. With a healthy lifestyle and maintenance sessions, your results can last several months or longer.
