ZWave Body Contouring, Inner Image
What is ZWave?
ZWave Pro Radial Pulse Technology by Zimmer was developed in Europe. It employs acoustic waves (also referred to as radial shockwaves). These pulsing waves cause pockets of fat and gas beneath the skin to break up. This results in a smoother skin appearance.
ZWave treatments promote angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. This can support healing and also reduce swelling. The treatment is non-invasive. Far from causing pain, it has been described by patients as being pleasurable, not unlike a massage. There is no skin numbing or anesthesia needed in this non-invasive, non-surgical treatment.
When is ZWave Body Contouring Used?
ZWave can have benefits in addressing a number of issues:
- Smoothing the appearance of cellulite
- Tightening and contouring following liposuction
- Scar treatment
- Skin tightening in combination fat reduction treatments, such as CoolSculpting
- Reducing the appearance of stretch marks

How long does treatment take?

How soon will I see results?
The time needed to see visible improvements will vary, based upon the treatment area and the current condition of your skin. It should be noted that multiple treatment sessions are required for the best results from ZWave therapy. Many of our patients see visible improvements after two or three treatments. You may not see the full results you are hoping to achieve until you have received six to ten treatments. The staff at Inner Image will be able to outline the program that will be best for you.
How long do the results last?
The results from your initial series of treatments will be long-lasting, particularly for those who follow a healthy diet and consistent exercise routine.
