WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR TREATMENT

  1. Your clinician will identify the site(s) to be treated. 

  2. They will apply a thin coat of coupling gel. This gel helps to translate the acoustic sound waves generated by the therapy head to the body tissues to be treated. 

  3. The clinician will start the treatment at a low output setting and increase the power to a level that you help define and is best suited for you condition. The output level and acoustic wave frequency rate will vary from location to location based on the depth and type of tissue being treated. 

  4. As the clinician moves the therapy source around the treatment area, you may feel a mild dull ache. The clinician will ask you to report when you feel the ache and will adjust the output of the device to the appropriate level for your treatment. They may also ask you to confirm that the therapy source is still creating the ache and may adjust the location of the treatment based on your feedback. If at anytime the treatment becomes uncomfortable, mention this to the clinician and they will adjust the output level. 

  5. After the treatment is completed, the coupling gel will be removed and you can return to your normal activities You may experience some minor aches or discomfort after treatment. It is not unusual for patients to notice flushed or reddened skin around the treatment site.
