What to Expect

During Your Visit

Depending on the diagnosis or treatment area, each visit averages around 10 to 15 minutes. A gel is applied to the surface of the area, then the StemWave applicator is applied to the treatment area delivering focused waves. This treatment is non-invasive and does not require anesthesia or numbing creams.

Your Care Plan

Care plans commonly range between 8 and 12 sessions. Patients typically experience significant improvement after 3 to 4 treatments, however we often see a noticeable improvement after the first treatment. Subsequent treatments that follow will offer continual improvement and sustained results.
