Softwave is a shock wave therapy device that has the power to accelerate the body’s healing processes, minimizing side effects and discomfort along the way. Whether you are receiving a major cosmetic surgery or you’re simply experiencing unwanted symptoms from a minor treatment, Softwave can transform your recovery experience. Below, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about Softwave.
How Does Softwave Work?
Softwave is a shock wave therapy device, which delivers gentle waves of energy to the body in a desired treatment area. As the tissue receives these pulses of energy, the body responds in a number of ways. First, this energy stimulates blood flow and other natural processes. The energy delivered can soothe inflammation, release tension and trigger points and even accelerate collagen production. When you combine all these benefits, the Softwave treatment can address nearly any side effects or symptoms that develop as a result of surgery, injury and other conditions.
When Can Softwave Be Used?
Softwave is most commonly used in sports therapy, but there are many appropriate applications for this treatment. For example, a regimen of Softwave treatments following a surgery can help heal body tissue, reduce inflammation and discomfort and even enhance your results. Furthermore, the advanced Softwave device can be used on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, belly and knees. So whether you are experiencing chronic pain, temporary side effects or simply looking to enhance your treatment experience, Softwave may be a good fit.
What is the Softwave Treatment Experience Like?
Before your Softwave treatment, a topical gel will be applied to the treatment area. This gel helps facilitate the delivery of shock waves and ensures an effective treatment. During treatment, the handheld Softwave device will be used to deliver pulses of energy throughout the treatment area. This is a well-tolerated process that is most often described as a mild discomfort. You may begin to experience the benefits of Softwave immediately after your treatment with instant pain relief. For optimal long-term results, however, we may recommend a series of Softwave treatments. Fortunately, there is no downtime required from Softwave, and at most, you can expect some temporary soreness following treatment.
