1. Cho et al., Cells (2020) — Laboratory research on developing human and mouse fat cells.
2. Fontes et al., Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology (2022) — A six-week human study of abdominal measurements with shockwave and exercise.
3. Knobloch et al., Dermatology and Therapy (2013) — Focused shockwave plus exercise compared with sham treatment plus the same exercise; cellulite scores at 12 weeks.
4. Modena et al., Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (2022) — Preliminary collagen findings in abdominal skin samples from 14 women.

0–15 seconds: The science is making waves. In laboratory tests, shockwaves reduced fat buildup in developing human and mouse fat cells, while changing signals that control fat cell formation.

15–30 seconds: The findings reach beyond the lab. In a six week human study, shockwave plus aerobic exercise produced greater waist reductions than exercise alone. Researchers measured the difference.

30–45 seconds: Cellulite research found visible change, too. With shockwave plus exercise, average cellulite scores improved from ten point nine to eight point three. Lower scores mean less severe cellulite.

45–60 seconds: Collagen showed a response, too. Researchers found more collagen in treated abdominal skin from fourteen women. Explore the science behind shockwave with Revitalize ALFA MD.
