“…Other studies on noninvasive RF or laser treatments included 6‐20 treatment sessions (Harth et al, Lach et al, Mlosek et al, Manuskiatti et al, Wanitphakdeedecha et al). Targeted pressure energy studies for cellulite reduction included 6 sessions (Knobloch et al, Christ et al), 8 sessions (Schlaudraff et al Steinert et al Nassar et al), or 12 sessions (Hexsel et al). Suction‐based evidence then speaks about a minimum of 15 treatments (Kutlubay et al Gülec).…”

“…Nassar et al 23 showed that eight sessions of acoustic wave therapy over 4 weeks in 15 patients resulted in efficient improvement of body contour and cellulite appearance 3 months after treatment 21,22 Hexsel et al 25 also demonstrated that 12 sessions over 6 weeks was effective in reducing cellulite severity in 30 women at the 12‐week follow up. Aside from clinical outcome, the treatment also improved patients’ quality of life, and no serious adverse events were reported.…”

Edematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy, better known as cellulite, is a skin condition that affects 80%-98% of postpubertal women. Cellulite is believed to be a result of the effects of estrogen on the dermal and subcutaneous fat, including but not limited to fibroblast proliferation, lipogenesis, adipocyte hypertrophy, and collagen formation. These findings are most commonly located in the buttocks, thighs, and abdomen. Not surprisingly, many women seek out treatment to minimize the appearance of cellulite. With a growing understanding of cellulite, there has also been substantial growth in the treatment options available to target the problem. Topical agents, energy-based devices, injectable treatments, and surgical treatments have all been used to treat cellulite, with significant studies performed to ensure the safety and efficacy of each. In this article, we will discuss these available treatments for cellulite.

“…Acoustic wave treatment has been initially used to treat kidney stones [3] [4] and injuries in the musculoskeletal system and soft tissue [5] [6] [7]. The positive effects observed on skin and subcutaneous tissue after acoustic wave treatments led to be applied for cosmetic and aesthetic purposes [8].…”

“…Acoustic wave is a non-invasive technique based on the propagation of mechanical waves into the tissues [8]. It stimulates local blood circulation, cell metabolism, self-regenerating processes [9] [10], and cell proliferation of collagen and elastin fibres [9] [10] [11], and lipolysis [11].…”

Background: Acoustic wave has been used for many medical purposes, and although it is widely applied in cosmetic procedures, it has not been conducted for facial rejuvenation and tightening. Acoustic wave has been proven to penetrate deeper than subcutaneous tissue, independent of skin color, and to be beneficial for skin tightening and body contouring. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a single acoustic wave treatment session using unique focused and radial acoustic waves for facial tightening. Participants: Sixty Asian patients were treated between the years 2016 and 2018. The single acoustic wave treatment session consists of focused long planar acoustic pulses thought to have an effect on cells and their metabolism resulting in an increased release of fat, and radial short acoustic pulses thought to have an effect on tissues activating blood and lymphatic flow. Patients did not undergo any form of medical aesthetic treatment during the study. Measurements: Digital photographs and three-dimensional imaging were used to evaluate the results. Results: Objective assessments with digital photographs and superimposed three-dimensional color images showed preferable facial tightening effects and marked volumetric reduction on the lower one-third of the face. These results were obtained without the edematous reactions observed in laser and radiofrequency therapies, and were sustained up to 12 months. All of the patients reported satisfaction with the results and convenience of the procedure. Complications were minor and transitory, consisting of a slight tingly sensation to the teeth during the treatment, and mild erythema resolving within 5 hours. Side effects were not observed. Conclusions: The advantages of the single acoustic wave treatment are the high potency of facial tightening effects, reduction of discomfort and side effects. Taken together, these characteristics facilitate the ability to give repeated treatments and provide an alternative or adjunct treatment for patients with improved results.
