AWT is now available nationwide and geographically accessible to an ever-growing number of consumers

More than 1,800 women have received Acoustic Wave Therapy -- a new treatment program to smooth and firm dimpled skin -- since the service was launched in September 2006. AWT has been widely praised for its results by both physicians and patients, and has earned television and newspaper coverage in more than 35 markets.

“AWT is now available nationwide and geographically accessible to an ever-growing number of consumers,” said Rob Huckels, vice president of marketing for MedSurge Advances. “Through the AWT Physician Finder, interested consumers simply enter their ZIP code to identify a doctor near them who offers this treatment program.”

Dimpled or uneven skin is a nagging problem for millions of women, including those who work hard to keep fit. Through Acoustic Wave Therapy, women can achieve smoother skin in the areas where cellulite commonly forms -- the thighs, buttocks and abdomen.

AWT was created by the Swiss company Storz Medical, which adapted technology originally designed to ease the pain associated with poor circulation and stiff joints. MedSurge Advances is the exclusive U.S. distributor for AWT.
