AWT is a new treatment to smooth the dimpling effect of cellulite. AWT is nonsurgical and noninvasive. It uses acoustic pulses to treat cellulite. Treatments are about a half hour, twice a week for three weeks. Noticeable improvement may occur after three to four treatments but may take longer. There is no cure for cellulite but AWT can help in a majority of cases.
