The acoustic waves were also found to be highly effective in improving the elasticity of subcutaneous connective tissues and disrupting the fibrous tissue responsible for the appearance of cellulite. Besides, acoustic waves can break up fat cells and improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
