About Zimmer Z Wave

Overview

Aesthetic providers utilize the Zimmer Z Wave device for the noninvasive tightening and firming of skin. This device functions by emitting radio shockwaves into the skin, thereby stimulating the production of new collagen and enhancing blood circulation.

Z Wave can be utilized independently to diminish the visibility of cellulite and stretch marks, although it is commonly combined with fat reduction procedures such as fat reduction devices such as TruSculpt iD, Coolsculpting, Sculpsure, etc.

Advantages

Using ZWave can potentially improve the efficacy and consistency of fat reduction treatments compared to manual techniques.

Pros

CoolSculpting/TruSculpt iD/Sculpsure and ZWave combination may offer a more efficient alternative to manual massage post fat-reduction procedures
Can enhances fat reduction in a single treatment session
Noninvasive treatment option with no downtime, except for patients who have undergone surgical liposuction

Cons

Some providers do not believe Z Wave is not more effective than manual massage post-CoolSculpting
Discomfort may be felt during Z Wave treatment
Up to 10 sessions may be required for optimal results when using Z Wave for cellulite or stretch marks

What to Expect

When the Z Wave handheld device is applied to the treatment area, individuals may experience a sensation of burning or tingling. This is a result of the numbing effect caused by cryolipolysis, with the Z Wave device subsequently facilitating a rapid increase in blood flow to the area. This sensation can be likened to the feeling of placing cold hands under hot water.

The entire procedure typically lasts only a few minutes.

Recovery

Individuals can resume their normal activities immediately afterwards as there is no downtime required.

Results

Results may vary based on treatment goals and how many sessions.

Cost

The average cost of Zimmer Z wave per treatment typically ranges from $100 to $200. In order to achieve optimal results, a series of 8 to 10 treatments may be necessary. This cost may vary depending on the provider and location.
