Shockwave therapy is a body-aesthetics treatment that uses acoustic waves applied area by area to work on the look of cellulite and the feeling of skin firmness. At Nova Center (Les Corts, Barcelona) it is planned in sessions, within a body programme that can be combined with other contouring treatments. It may suit people who notice orange-peel skin on the legs, glutes or abdomen and want to care for their body contour as part of a routine. It is an aesthetic focus, not a medical or weight-loss method, and results vary from person to person, so the protocol, the number of sessions and the area are defined in a prior assessment, with no commitment.
