Shock wave therapy (OCD) presents itself as a resource recently used for aesthetic purposes, due to its ability to activate tissue remodeling processes. This research was characterized as a randomized controlled clinical trial, carried out with 2 female participants, whose main complaint was the flaccidity of the face. The parameters used were: 4 applications, each with 2500 pulses, frequency 17 Hz and intensity 2.5 Bar. The study ended up observing that shock wave therapy is recommended for the treatment of facial flaccidity.
