Learn more about this innovative therapy, how it works, and what makes you a good candidate for Z-Wave treatments.
Z-Wave (acoustic wave therapy) is a noninvasive therapy that utilizes high-energy radial shockwaves to stimulate the skin and underlying tissues, promoting collagen production, improving circulation, and enhancing lymphatic drainage.
The gentle acoustic waves delivered by Z-Wave disrupt fat pockets, increase blood flow, and improve the skin’s elasticity.
Z-Wave can be used as a standalone treatment or as a complement to body contouring procedures like CoolSculpting or liposuction, helping refine results and reducing recovery time.
A typical Z-Wave session is quick, often lasting around 15-30 minutes. It's a comfortable procedure with no recovery time required afterward.
Though Z-Wave is a versatile treatment, it works best for individuals with specific cosmetic goals.
Dr. Sasaki may recommend Z-Wave for the following:
If you have visible dimpling on your thighs, buttocks, or other areas, Z-Wave can help smooth these imperfections.
Z-Wave is ideal for individuals who want to improve skin firmness and elasticity without surgery.
Z-Wave is perfect for anyone who has undergone body contouring procedures like CoolSculpting and wants to maximize their results.
Z-Wave can accelerate healing by reducing swelling and enhancing skin tightening.
However, Z-Wave may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with severe cellulite or skin concerns requiring surgical intervention may need alternative options.
During your consultation, Dr. Sasaki will determine if Z-Wave aligns with your needs, explain the details, and discuss the results you can expect from the treatment.
Your Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic provider starts the Z-Wave treatment by ensuring you are comfortable and then runs a handheld device over the targeted area, using firm, but not heavy, pressure.
You may feel a tapping sensation in the treatment area and mild tingling as blood flow increases, but the therapy is not painful.
Most patients find Z-Wave sessions comfortable, even relaxing. We often recommend a series of sessions, with the number of treatments varying based on your goals.
After a couple of sessions, you may notice improved skin texture, reduced dimpling, and a firmer appearance. However, Z-Wave benefits are cumulative, with optimal results typically visible after several sessions.
Low-risk and requiring no downtime, the treatment is an excellent choice for those with busy lifestyles. Studies by the American Academy of Dermatology indicate acoustic wave therapy is the top nonsurgical cellulite-reducing therapy available.
Z-Wave offers a path to smoother, more confident skin. Ready to take the first step? Schedule your consultation at Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic Center today.
