It is used primarily to break down fat and stimulate collagen production to help reduce the levels of pinchable fat, as well as improve the appearance of cellulite. By increasing skin elasticity, the skin will retract more efficiently and give a tighter look and feel to the area treated. Shockwave treatment works through accelerating lymphatic draining in the body to give fast results.
Undergoing a treatment to reshape and recontour the body can help to restore self-confidence through achieving a more desirable body shape. A healthy lifestyle is followed by many of us, eating a balanced diet and undertaking regular exercise to maintain a healthy body and a shapely body profile. When pinchable pockets of fat will not shift, despite concerted efforts it can lead to feelings of frustration.
Shockwave is a treatment that can be used independently to improve the skin’s structure and connective tissue, or as part of a combination treatment with other body contouring applications. Simply and effectively delivered through the use of probe technology that is precisely targeted to the area of concern, Shockwave delivers high energy radial waves to disrupt the molecular structure which leads to the collapse of gas bubbles within the fat cell and ensure destabilisation of the structure of the fat.
Typical treatment areas are:
- Upper Arm Fat
- Cellulite
- Thigh Fat
- Lower Abdominal Fat
- Stretch Marks

FAQ's
Am i suitable for Shockwave?
Shockwave is a treatment that is effective at removing stubborn areas of fat from a variety of places on the body. The outcome is more successful on people whose weight is close to their ideal. This treatment is not an intended substitute for following a healthy lifestyle and a method of losing significant amounts of weight.
Is Shockwave safe?
This treatment has NICEguidance and FDA approval, deeming it a safe method of fat reduction from the body. When performed by trained professionals the procedure has a low risk rate and is more likely to produce a successful end result. PPP has a team of expert doctors who are highly skilled and trained, with a wealth of medical knowledge and understanding for treatments of this nature.
Will it hurt?
Shockwave is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that produces very little discomfort for the patient. During the treatment it is common for small pulses to be felt on the skin. This may cause some slight discomfort but it should not be painful. This should also only last for a few minutes, making it a tolerable sensation.
Are there any associated side effects or risks?
It is common for patients to experience some mild swelling, bruising and redness at the site of treatment. In some cases the patient also feels a tingling sensation or numbness to the skin. These effects have usually subsided within a period of 24 hours, however for some patients, a day or two may need to be allowed.
How much downtime can i expect?
As a non-surgical procedure, expected downtime is minimal. If sensitivity takes a couple of days to settle then patients may also prefer to stay at home for a couple of days too. In most cases it is normal for patients to resume their normal routine within 24 hours.
