Shockwave

Focussed vs Radial

Focussed

Focused Shockwaves generates the energy outside the body and is then delivered to a focal target area deep inside the body. Piezowave2 is the only technology that can create a shockwave which forms direct at the focus of treatment to ensure the delivered energy is maintained.

Radial

Radial Shockwaves are actually pressure waves and differ considerably from focused shockwaves. The energy spreads radially on contact with tissues and the density of energy dissipates rapidly through the top layers of the skin reducing penetration depth.

Radial shockwave is not as accurate, powerful or as comfortable as focused shockwave.
