How effective is the Zimmer Z wave pro?

Question

Hi I had coolsculpting done a cpl months back and am considering a second treatment. My Dr says I don't need another I just have some skin laxity issues. She has a brand new machine, the Zimmer Z wave Pro, and she wants to use it on my abdomen. I am aware that it is to be used immediately after Coolsculpting in the place of manual massage. What else can u tell me about this treatment? What it involves? What results people are seeing? How effective it is? Etc? Thanks

We have used this device for many years and I am extremely familiar with its use and the clinical data available about it.  It does seem to make a real difference in outcomes when used immediately after CoolSculpting.  It has FDA clearance for cellulite treatment.  As far as treating your abdomen for skin laxity, I do not believe that ZWave is likely to be effective.  Without the opportunity to examine you I am unable to make a treatment recommendation.  Best of luck

The z wave treatments are a fancy way to get physicians to buy a unnecessary machine . Their “ science “ is based on a single study of 5 individuals . Basically all it showed was these people achieved their final results from Coolsculpting at 6-8 weeks as opposed  to 12 weeks . It did not prove or show additional fat reduction than the normal 22.5% that is obtained from Coolsculpting alone. So if there is a need to achieve results at 6 weeks as opposed to 12 weeks, then maybe the z wave is an option , but don’t drink the koolaid thinking it makes results better ( only slightly faster and on 5 people in the study )
