Focused shockwaves are able to penetrate deeper into the tissues and provides all of its power at the designated depth. Focused shockwaves are generated electromagnetically through a cylindrical coil creating opposing magnetic fields when current is applied. This causes a submerged membrane to move and generate a pressure wave in the surrounding fluid medium. These propagate through the medium without any loss in energy with a small focal zone. At the site of actual wave generation the amount of energy dispersed is minimal.

What are difference between radial and focused shockwave?
Although both shockwave technologies produce the same therapeutic effects, a focused shockwave allows for an adjustable depth of penetration with constant maximum intensity, making the therapy suitable for treating both superficial and deep-lying tissues.
A radial shockwave allows changing the nature of the shock by using different types of shockwave transmitters. However, the maximum intensity is always concentrated superficially, which makes this therapy suitable for the treatment of superficially lying soft tissues.
What happens during shockwave therapy?
Shockwaves stimulate fibroblasts that are cells responsible for healing of connective tissue such as tendons. Diminishes pain by two mechanisms. Hyperstimulation anesthesia – local nerve endings are overwhelmed with so many stimuli that their activity diminishes resulting in short-term reduction in pain.
Focused and Linear shockwave therapy are both unbelieve medical treatments that are proven effective at treating ED.
