I love science.
I love it even more when someone takes good science and uses technology to apply that science in what is a simple treatment platform. That is why I introduced CoolSculpting almost 2 years ago when it was emerging in the Canadian aesthetics market, and why in 2018 we were one of the busiest CoolSculpting clinics in the lower mainland. While at a conference recently I heard that some of the leading clinics were using a new technology to enhance results for their CoolSculpting clients.
I had to learn more…..Enter ZWave!!!
ZWave is a Game Changer
It works as a stand alone treatment for cellulite and stretch marks, but also as an amazing combination treatment with fat freezing; CoolSculpting. And what’s’ more as treatment platform it is incredibly affordable.
Smooth, firm skin is a common desire for most patients, not just for their face but all over their body. Patients have struggled with cellulite, stretch marks, and scarring. Feelings of embarrassment is not unusual, yet nearly all of us suffer from some form of cellulite.
ZWave is an advanced FDA approved cellulite treatment without surgery or invasive measures. In a similar vein to the CoolSculpting marketing hype. No needles, no surgery, no downtime.
What is Cellulite and Why Is It So Hard to Reduce?
Many patients struggle to reduce the appearance of cellulite. In fact, although cellulite is cosmetically unappealing, it is completely normal. Most women have cellulite and so do many men.
The dimpled appearance that we know as cellulite is caused by the fibrous tethers running through pockets of fat that are pulling on the fascia that lies underneath your skin. It is not just a collection of fat but actually in the structure.
It is more common for women to have cellulite because of how their connective tissue is put together. Fat goes through women’s connective tissue much easier than men. Where you get cellulite can have to do with genetics. This is why some patients only have cellulite on their upper thighs and others have cellulite it on many other areas of their bodies.
Unfortunately, a healthy lifestyle and fitness routine to lose weight will not always reduce cellulite. Even patients that are in great physical shape have cellulite.
There is no proven exercise to get rid of cellulite. No magic lotions or creams have been found to reduce cellulite either. Many skincare products that do claim to lessen the appearance of cellulite only tighten the top layer of skin. This gives the appearances of tighter and firmer skin, but will wear off within a few hours.
Due to how common cellulite is and how difficult it is to reduce, the ZWave treatment that is FDA approved to treat cellulite is a great option to help patients get the results that they desire.

Before Treatment
Before After
How ZWave Works
The first step is to book your complimentary consultation. During this consult, you will learn more about the treatment and ensure that this is the right procedure for you. If you feel comfortable with what the treatment entails, then we will either begin the treatment there and then or schedule an appointment for the procedure in the future.
All Z wave treatments require a minimum of three treatments, but six is recommended.
Most patients experience no discomfort or pain during their treatment. ZWave uses a device to precisely target your problem areas to disrupt the fatty tissue. The device’s handheld applicator is directly applied onto the treatment areas.
Patients can have multiple sessions a week. Each ZWave treatment usually takes twenty to thirty minutes to complete. This time will vary depending on how many areas are being treated and the size of the treatment area.
What is Recovery Like After A ZWave Cellulite Treatment?
Following your ZWave treatment there is little to no downtime due to the noninvasive nature of the treatment. Many patients are able to return to their normal activities following their session. You will notice gradual improvement in the texture of your skin as you continue the course of your treatments.
What Results to Expect After Treatment?
When paired with a healthy lifestyle and continued treatments, ZWave can provide long lasting results. You may begin to notice visible results after your first two to three treatments. Each following treatment you will notice that your skin is becoming smoother and tighter. Optimal results can be seen after six to ten treatments.
Regular touch ups may be needed to maintain these results.
Every patient is different and after your consultation a better time line for when to expect maximum results may be able to be given.
Are You a Good Candidate for ZWave?
ZWave is a safe, clinically tested, and effective treatment for many patients, but it is not a perfect fit for everyone This is why an initial consultation is one of the best ways to determine what treatments can give you your desired results.
An ideal candidate for ZWave will already be in good health, at a healthy weight. Patients looking to reduce cellulite, stretch marks, and scarring make the best candidates.
ZWave can also be used in conjunction with CoolSculpting and radiofrequency treatments.
