Abstract: Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) has had a wide use in rehabilitation, and has presented positive effects in the treatment of unaesthetic affections. The objective of the present study was to search, in the literature, the mechanisms of action and the physiological aspects of shockwaves acting on the biological tissue to improve the condition of cellulite and localized fat. The systematic review of the literature was carried out in the period of September 2016 to February 2017 based on the bibliographic… Show more

“…The transmission of acoustic waves toward subcutaneous tissue seems to be a safe alternative in the GLD treatment . Evidence shows that shock waves of this technique—widely used in urology to fragment kidney stones—in GLD promote lipolysis when breaking the cellular wall of the adipocyte, improve local blood flow, and enable lymphatic drainage with the subsequent lymphedema decrease.…”

“…Nevertheless, technological evolution has been providing new resources for the reestablishment and improvement of health. ESWT is considered a relatively new technology in esthetic medicine which has a complex therapeutic objective that is treating cellulite demonstrating expressive results; this disorder, which bothers women to such a high extent, however, is not easy to be treated [9, 13].…”

“…According to Modena et al, 2017, ESWT began to be used in esthetic treatments after observations of the use of this therapy in orthopedic treatments, in which it became evident, besides the improvement in mobility and pain and the improvement of the aspect of skin and body contour, thus suggesting that there was a decrease in body circumference in the treated region [9, 13].…”

“…The therapy is also indicated for the treatment of skin flaccidity since scientific evidence demonstrates its benefits in this area. 4−6 According to Modena et al 4 ESWT promotes the stimulus of local microcirculation, increase of cell permeability, which leads to the reorganization of the extracellular matrix, with consequent collagen remodeling by the realignment of the dermal fibers, improving the aspect and texture of skin. Therefore, the proposed objective of this study was to present the effects of the association of ESWT and RF in the treatment of abdominal skin flaccidity in two cases with different etiologies.…”
