What Is Shockwave?
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused acoustic energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing and regenerative processes. It’s a versatile technology with a wide range of applications—from relieving chronic pain to rejuvenating skin and reducing the appearance of cellulite.
At Regen3, we offer two core types of shockwave therapy:
Therapeutic Shockwave Therapy: Ideal for treating musculoskeletal conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, joint pain, and muscle stiffness. The acoustic waves promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair—helping you recover faster and move with less pain.
Aesthetic Shockwave Therapy: A non-surgical solution for skin tightening, cellulite reduction, and overall skin rejuvenation. The treatment stimulates collagen production and improves lymphatic drainage, resulting in firmer, smoother skin and enhanced tone.
How It Works
Shockwave therapy delivers high-frequency sound waves to targeted areas of the body. These waves penetrate deep into tissue, where they create a controlled microtrauma that triggers the body’s natural healing response. This leads to increased blood flow, reduced inflammation, and cellular regeneration.
For Pain Relief: The therapy breaks up calcified deposits, boosts circulation, and promotes tissue repair in tendons, muscles, and ligaments.
For Aesthetic Goals: It enhances collagen production, tightens connective tissue, and improves skin elasticity—without needles, surgery, or downtime.

FAQs
Is shockwave therapy safe?
Yes. Shockwave therapy has been extensively studied and is FDA-cleared for multiple medical and aesthetic uses.

For therapeutic relief, 3–6 sessions are typical. Aesthetic treatments often require 6–10 sessions for best results, depending on the concern.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as mildly uncomfortable but tolerable. The intensity can be adjusted during the session.
