Shockmaster FAQs

What does Shockmaster involve?
Shockmaster is a combination therapy, beginning with Acoustic wave therapy (AWT), followed immediately afterwards by lipomassage with Endermologie, to enhance lymphatic drainage.

 

What is AWT?
AWT system penetrates deep into the tissue emitting shock waves, also known as acoustic waves to treat cellulite. Shock waves are used medically for breaking up kidney stones and also treats muscular injuries i.e Hamstring injuries and Tennis Elbow. When AWT was used to treat hamstring injuries, it was discovered that it also improved cellulite. AWT was then launched into the beauty market as a result. AWT is now better than ever due to its new deep impact hand piece, which penetrates deeper, for ever better results than before.

 

What does the treatment involve?
An ultrasound gel is applied to the affected body areas, and the AWT applicator is passed over the area emitting radial pressure waves that relaxes the connective tissue & strengthening it producing a smoother surface. AWT also helps to thicken the dermis, decreasing fat protrusion. AWT feels like a gentle pummelling sensation. Endermology , a mechanical suction massage, is performed immediately after AWT , to aid in drainage of toxins & broken down fat. Endermology feels like a deep tissue massage.

 

Will it tone up the muscles as well?
Many clients find they have improved muscle tone after the AWT treatment. The vibration of the pressure waves against the skin, cause muscles to tone up.

 

Will I get INCH LOSS?
