Welcome to another empowering article from The Cellulite Site blog. Did you know that over 90% of women experience cellulite at some point in their lives? What if I told you there’s another revolutionary treatment that uses sound waves to combat it? Join me as I provide an overview of Resonic cellulite treatment and see if it can really blast away cellulite using just sound waves!
New York City—there’s something magical about the buzz of this place! Every corner is alive with energy, and for someone like me, who’s always on the lookout for the latest and greatest in cellulite treatments, this city is like Disneyland for the beauty-obsessed.
I’m here for you, of course, exploring new avenues (pun intended) to help all of us tackle cellulite with a sense of confidence and flair. You know how much I love digging into the science, but let’s be honest—I also love the thrill of walking the bustling streets, hunting down the clinics that have the inside scoop on the latest cellulite-busting secrets. It’s research… with a glamorous twist.
So, imagine me strolling through Manhattan, skyscrapers towering above, a coffee in one hand, my curiosity in the other. I’m on a mission. I heard about the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York through Resonic’s website, which helps you easily locate providers. Let me tell you, once I found out that this place was using Resonic technology, I couldn’t resist.
Now, NYC is known for staying ahead of the curve. The women here know what they want—whether it’s a bold red lip, a chic black dress, or—yes—smoother thighs. And it turns out, Resonic is the talk of the town. I couldn’t wait to see firsthand how this sound-wave-powered miracle device was helping NYC ladies fight the battle against cellulite.
When I think of the Laser & Skin Surgery Center, I half-imagine being greeted by Carrie Bradshaw herself, offering me a Cosmopolitan and asking if I’ve tried Resonic yet. While that’s just my imagination, I’ve heard the vibe is just as fabulous! The team at the center are pros in their field, known for walking patients through how Resonic’s RAP technology is shaking things up—literally! What stands out most to me is their advanced, science-backed approach to tackling what can be such a frustrating issue for many of us.
What’s really fascinating—and why I adore traveling for these stories—is that no two cities seem to tackle cellulite the same way. In Monaco, I found clinics that focus on luxury body wraps and high-end spa treatments that feel like something out of a James Bond film. In Paris, the women are all about natural treatments and lymphatic drainage massages—of course, in that effortlessly chic French way. But New York? This city is all about technology and precision, which makes sense, given its fast-paced vibe.
Ironically, the other two cellulite reduction treatments offered at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center are Aveli and Cellfina. We’ll be releasing episodes on these treatments in October, so be sure to like and subscribe if you’d like to learn more about these innovative options.
But here’s the kicker: the Resonic technology seems to be working. The Laser & Skin Surgery Center has been helping women smooth out their skin with Resonic, and the results have been nothing short of impressive. Patients come in seeking an effective, non-invasive solution, and Resonic delivers. It’s hard not to get excited about how this technology can change lives—and legs!
And that’s what keeps me going on these journeys—bringing you the inside scoop on what really works, from the glitz of Monaco to the hustle of New York City. Each destination reveals something new, something exciting. Plus, it’s a great excuse to indulge in a little people-watching and maybe even a slice of New York pizza (research can be exhausting, after all!).
So here I am, soaking up the energy of the city, sipping my coffee, and thinking about the next adventure. Who knows where the next cellulite-busting discovery will take me? But for now, it’s safe to say New York’s got some serious muscle when it comes to fighting cellulite with Resonic.
We’ve covered a lot of modalities that use sound waves for cellulite reduction.
In this blog (and podcast), we’ll explore Resonic, another groundbreaking cellulite treatment that harnesses the power of sound waves to help you achieve smoother skin.
How Resonic Works
Now, for the brainiacs out there, let’s dive into the nuts and bolts of how Resonic works and why it’s shaking things up in the cellulite treatment game—literally! Resonic uses a process called “acoustic subcision.” This device emits high-frequency sound waves, up to 50-100 times per second, directly into the skin. These rapid pulses physically break apart the fibrous bands beneath the surface, called septa, which are responsible for those pesky cellulite dimples. The result? Smoother skin and a visible reduction in cellulite. What sets Resonic apart from other treatments is that it doesn’t just slap a Band-Aid on the problem—it targets the root cause of cellulite.
For those of you who’ve tuned into my Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) podcast, you might be wondering, “What’s the difference between Resonic and AWT?” Great question!
Rapid Acoustic Pulse (RAP) Technology (used by Resonic): RAP delivers high-speed, high-pressure shockwaves—up to 100 pulses per second—designed to break apart the fibrous septa that cause cellulite. These shockwaves create mechanical disruption in the tissue, all while leaving the skin intact. This FDA-cleared technology is unique to the Resonic device, offering a non-invasive approach to smoothing cellulite.
Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT): In contrast, AWT typically uses lower-frequency sound waves that are delivered more slowly and with less intensity than RAP. AWT primarily works by increasing blood flow, stimulating collagen production, and breaking down fat deposits—often used for both body contouring and cellulite reduction. Devices like Zimmer’s Z Wave employ this technique, but the approach tends to be less focused on breaking down the bands that cause dimpling.
The Main Difference: The key distinction lies in the intensity, speed, and method of sound wave delivery. While both technologies aim to improve the appearance of cellulite, RAP is faster and focuses more on the underlying septa that cause dimpling, whereas AWT tends to promote skin tightening and fat breakdown.
According to the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, Resonic is the only medical device using RAP technology that’s FDA-cleared as a non-invasive treatment for improving cellulite’s appearance. Their board-certified dermatologists are among the first in the country to offer this revolutionary treatment. Shockwaves and ultrasound may sound similar, but the way they work is quite different. Think of sound waves as gentle ripples when a pebble hits water—those are like ultrasound. Shockwaves, on the other hand, are more like the V-shaped bow wave of a speeding boat. They penetrate deeply into the tissue without losing energy, unlike ultrasound, which can lose its punch as it travels and tends to produce heat.
So, how does this magic happen? Cellulite forms due to the presence of fibrous septa, which are connective tissue bands that help provide structure to the skin. Over time, these bands can become stiff and less flexible, while fat cells push up against the skin, causing the characteristic dimples and ridges of cellulite.
This results is that familiar ‘cottage cheese’ appearance, with bulges and dimples on the skin. Resonic’s RAP device sends rapid, high-pressure shockwaves at a rate of up to 100 pulses per second, targeting these fibrous septa. This breaks them apart at the cellular level without harming the skin, releasing the dimples and smoothing the surface. In some cases, skin-tightening treatments may also be combined with Resonic to further improve the results.
Benefits of Resonic
One of the key benefits of Resonic is its non-invasive nature. Unlike other treatments that may involve needles or lengthy recovery periods, Resonic offers a quick, relatively painless option with minimal discomfort. Many clients notice smoother skin after just one session, making it a convenient choice for anyone looking for fast and noticeable results. Plus, with no downtime, Resonic easily fits into even the busiest lifestyles.
The Procedure
So, what happens during a Resonic treatment? Each session typically lasts about an hour. The device is placed on the skin, where it emits the high-frequency sound waves that work to release the fibrous septa beneath the skin’s surface. Most patients describe the sensation as slight pressure or tingling—there’s no need for anesthetics, and once the treatment is over, you can resume your day as usual.
Results and Expectations
The best part about Resonic? You can expect to see results within a few days to a week after your session. Most patients notice smoother skin, and the effects last for several months. In a study, patients were surveyed at 12 weeks after treatment, and most either “agreed” or “strongly agreed” that their cellulite had improved. At a 52-week follow-up, a majority of the original participants continued to report significant improvements, showing that Resonic offers not only fast but long-lasting results.
Is Resonic Right for You?
If you’re looking for a quick, non-invasive way to tackle cellulite, Resonic might be just what you need. It’s best suited for those with mild to moderate cellulite – levels 1-3; and works best when combined with a healthy lifestyle. This treatment is perfect for anyone seeking a solution that doesn’t involve surgery or downtime but delivers lasting results.
Resonic’s cutting-edge sound wave technology is making waves—literally—in the world of cellulite reduction. With visible results after just one session, this revolutionary treatment could be the key to smoother, more confident skin. If you’re ready to take the next step, Resonic may be your perfect match.
So, if you ever find yourself strolling through the Big Apple with a little more dimpling than you’d like, why not make a pit stop at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York for a Resonic treatment? You might just leave the city with a slice of pizza and smoother skin! Win-win!
