Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2025.ABSTRACT Background Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) is a particular shock wave treatment that combines focused and radial shock waves, resulting in particular efficiency in the body's superficial layers. Its application before fat grafting has the potential to enhance it, favoring a better result of the graft.
