In the Sept/Oct 2023 issue of The Aesthetic Guide, the Z Wave device by Zimmer MedizinSystems gained notable attention for its role in advancing aesthetic and plastic surgery treatments. The article titled “Shockwave Impacts Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Procedures” features insights from key opinion leaders (KOLs) in the field.
Christine Watson, MD, Medical Director and owner of Body Bar MD in Terre Haute, IN, elaborates on Z Wave‘s capabilities: “Z Wave sends radial shockwaves to the treatment area to break up the fibrous bands called septae and release the tissue, thereby decreasing the look of cellulite… We also use it as a post-liposuction treatment to improve the look of common side effects like skin irregularities.” Dr. Watson further mentioned the significant role Z Wave is playing in sexual health, citing the addition of established sexual medicine treatments that incorporate Z Wave.
Similarly, Anna Buinewicz, MD, co-owner of Buinewicz Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa in Doylestown, PA, adds her praise: “The ability to treat capsular contracture and prevent the patient from being subjected to an additional surgery and anesthesia is absolutely amazing!” Dr. Buinewicz also uses Z Wave as a highly effective and more professional alternative to hand massage after Coolsculpting™ procedures to reduce edema and enhance results.
Both physicians emphasized the role Z Wave plays in body contouring, post-surgical recovery, and as an adjunct therapy for various treatments. The device’s versatility is also highlighted as it can be used in conjunction with other treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and microneedling. Importantly, Z Wave is a non-invasive treatment, adding to its appeal.
