Sound wave tech has emerged as a ground-breaking non-invasive solution in many medical applications. As part of that innovation, Cliovana™ is a new innovative advance in the realm of sexual wellness. Cliovana uses sound wave technology to increase sensitivity which can increase orgasm frequency and intensity. Okay great! But what exactly is sound wave technology and how does it work? Sound wave technology is actually quite straightforward and backed by science.
Shockwaves vs Pressure Waves
Pressure or acoustic waves are also known as radial shockwaves. In fact Radial shockwaves, or Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) uses acoustic or pressure waves to promote healing and repair. In terms of physics, Radial waves are not true shockwaves, but we talk about them along with Focused shockwaves as a family. This is because many indications and therapy results of Radial shockwaves are similar to those of Focused shockwaves. True shockwaves are created when a wave propagates through a medium at a speed faster than the speed of sound travels through that medium. Sound waves propagate through a medium, typically air or water, by transferring energy from one particle to another. (1) In the case of radial pressure waves, compressed air accellorates a transmitter head outside the body, that creates acoustic waves that reach a lower peak pressure, a slower rise time.
Sound Waves have wide ranging medical applications
In the medical field, shockwaves have wide-ranging applications. For example, lithotripsy employs high intensity sound waves to break down kidney stones, making it a non-invasive alternative to surgery. Many musculoskeletal conditions are treated with Radial pressure waves, or sound waves. Focused Shockwave therapy is used to treat conditions such as erectile dysfunction. Meanwhile, CliovanaTM has harnessed acoustic or sound waves (also known as radial shockwaves) to improve sexual health for women.
When it comes to sexual wellness, acoustic waves do three things painlessly and non-invasively that can help increase sensitivity and arousal leading to increased frequency and intensity of orgasms:
1. Increased vascularity: shockwaves create a reaction intracellularly that increases endothelial growth factor, which gives you new blood vessels.
2. Increased blood flow: by stimulating the formation of new blood vessels, this improves blood flow to the clitoral region, which is an important step in sexual arousal.
3. Neurogenesis: or the growth and development of nerve tissue, is stimulated by sound waves leading to increased sensation.
As a result, CliovanaTM can be an effective procedure to improve your sex life and is non-invasive, safe and 100% pain free.
