Sofwave® at Dennis Gross Dermatology
Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology generates heat at 1.5mm within the mid-dermis of the skin. This ensures a uniform effect in the tissue and repeatable, controllable energy deposition in the skin without damaging the epidermal (outer) skin. Sofwave’s unique technology enables the controlled delivery of energy while protecting the skin surface with SofCool™, our proprietary integrated cooling mechanism. Even better, there is minimal downtime.
How much does Sofwave Cost?
The cost of Sofwave® in New York depends on the area you want to treat, whether it’s face, neck, or body. Please contact us so we can develop a tailored treatment plan to help you reach your aesthetic goals.
Could Sofwave® Replace a Facelift?
Sofwave® builds collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid within the skin but will not duplicate the results of a facelift. Sofwave® is a great adjunctive treatment for those looking to build collagen in their skin starting in their 30’s.
How Many Sofwave® Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients only need one treatment. However, based on the degree of skin laxity, the area of the body, the biological response to ultrasound energy and the individual’s collagen-building process, some patients benefit from a second treatment.
What does the Sofwave™ treatment feel like?
Patients may feel a warm sensation on their skin as the ultrasound energy is delivered, which can be resolved by applying a topical anesthetic cream just before the treatment. Following treatment, there are no sensations, and there is no need to apply special care to the skin. Patients may resume their daily activities quickly post-treatment.
When can I expect to see results?
Some patients see results 6 weeks following the treatment but most patients see results at 3 months or longer depending on specific condition of the skin and whether a 2nd session is recommended. Sofwave’s clinical evidence shows a significant effect up to one year following a single treatment.
