Conditions treated with focal shock waves

Focal shock waves

DUOLITH® SD1 T-TOP Ultra

Swiss Precision in Urological Medicine

Developed by STORZ MEDICAL, the DUOLITH® system is the gold standard in non-invasive regenerative treatments. Its focal technology concentrates acoustic energy directly on the vascular or cellular source of the problem, preventing superficial dispersion.

RADIAL SHOCK WAVES

T-TOP ULTRA FOCAL SHOCK WAVES

Precise targeting at the tissue depth

Maximum Focal Accuracy

It targets the energy directly at the blood vessels or deep fibrous plaques, whilst protecting the surrounding healthy tissue.

Cell Regeneration

It naturally stimulates angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and reduces inflammation in the nerve endings.

Outpatient Efficiency

Quick 20–30-minute sessions at the clinic. No surgery, no anaesthesia and no disruption to your sex life or work.

Treatment

How is focal shockwave therapy carried out?

The treatment is carried out in the clinic. During the session, the specialist applies focal shock waves to the areas indicated, based on the patient’s diagnosis and symptoms.

The procedure is usually well tolerated and does not require anaesthesia in most cases. The number of sessions and their frequency are determined on an individual basis following a medical assessment.

Before starting treatment, the case is assessed, the symptoms are reviewed and it is determined whether DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP Ultra is a suitable option. In some cases, this treatment may be combined with other medical, gynaecological, hormonal or pelvic floor rehabilitation measures to optimise the management of the problem.

Indications

When might focal shockwave therapy be considered?

Treatment with focal shockwave therapy may be considered for patients with intimate, urinary or vulvovaginal symptoms that affect their comfort, sexual function or quality of life.

Conditions that can be assessed during a consultation include:

urinary incontinence
vaginal dryness
vaginal atrophy
vaginitis or persistent vulvovaginal discomfort, always after ruling out active infection or other specific causes
discomfort during or after sexual activity
vulvovaginal irritation or tenderness
intimate symptoms associated with hormonal changes or the menopause

Whether treatment is indicated always depends on an individual medical assessment. Not all cases are suitable for treatment, particularly where symptoms may be related to infections, active inflammation or other causes that require a specific approach.

Urinary incontinence

Strengthening the urethral support

How does DUOLITH work?

Urinary leakage (whether stress-related or due to urgency) is usually caused by weakness in the connective and muscle tissue that supports the urethra. Focal shockwave technology penetrates to the exact depth of the pelvic floor to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

  • The result: The strength and elasticity of the pelvic floor are restored non-invasively, helping you to regain control and confidence in your daily life from the very first sessions.

Vaginal dryness and vaginal atrophy

Natural regeneration and lubrication

How does DUOLITH work?

A lack of oestrogen (due to the menopause, postpartum or medical treatments) reduces blood flow to the vagina, causing the tissue to become thin, stiff and dry. The DUOLITH system stimulates angiogenesis, that is, the formation of microvessels in the vaginal walls.

  • The result: As circulation is restored, the skin automatically regains its thickness, elasticity and natural moisture. Say goodbye to that tight, stinging sensation and persistent irritation – without the need for hormones.

Discomfort during or after sexual activity

Flexibility and pain relief

How does DUOLITH work?

Pain or discomfort during and after sexual activity is usually caused by a lack of elasticity in the vaginal canal or by hypersensitivity of the nerve endings in the area (caused by micro-tears or chronic inflammation). Focal shock waves reduce inflammation in the deep tissues and relax the affected nerve fibres.

  • The result: By relaxing the vaginal walls and soothing areas that are overly sensitive to pain, the treatment restores intimate comfort, allowing you to enjoy a fulfilling sex life without fear of subsequent discomfort.
