Introduction:
Acoustic Wave Therapy offers a cutting-edge solution to various health concerns, from improving skin appearance to addressing musculoskeletal pain. To make the most out of the procedure and to ensure safety, patients should adhere to the following aftercare guidelines.

Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours):

1. Bruising & Redness: Some patients may experience slight bruising or redness in the treated area. This is a normal response and should subside within a few days.


2. Cooling: If there's any discomfort or swelling, you can apply cold compresses. However, avoid direct ice application.


3. Hydration: Drinking ample water facilitates the body's natural elimination process, which is crucial after cellulite treatments.


4. Activity: Light to moderate activity is encouraged, such as walking, to promote blood circulation. However, refrain from intense workouts immediately post-treatment.

Continued Care (Days 3 and Beyond):

1. Moisturise & Massage: If undergoing AWT for cellulite or skin conditions, keep the area moisturised. Gentle massage can also stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage.


2. Avoid Tight Clothing: Wearing non-restrictive clothing can prevent additional pressure or irritation to the treated areas.


3. Maintain a Healthy Diet: This is particularly relevant for cellulite treatments. A balanced diet can support the treatment's effectiveness.

Potential Issues to Monitor:

1. Prolonged Pain or Discomfort: While some soreness is typical, if pain continues or becomes severe, it's crucial to consult your practitioner.


2. Signs of Infection: Swelling, increased redness, warmth, or pus at the treatment site can indicate an infection. Seek medical attention if these symptoms occur.


3. Allergic Reactions: Although rare, notify your provider if you experience rash, hives, or severe itching.

Follow-Up Appointments:
Regular sessions may be required for optimal results. Attend all scheduled post-treatment check-ups to assess the progress and discuss any concerns. This allows your practitioner to offer guidance tailored to your response to the treatment.
