Thanks to technology, more and more non-invasive procedures are accessible. One of them is Sofwave that uses ultrasound technology to revitalize the skin by increasing the skin’s production of collagen. This treatment targets eyebrows, submental, neck, wrinkles, and fine lines, resulting in a more youthful look.
At an event hosted by SpectruMed, they had a special guest, California dermatologist Dr. Arisa Ortiz who shared her thoughts on this treatment. Not only is it cleared twice by the US FDA for lifting and tightening, it also uses Superb-Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology. It uses fractional healing via ultrasound delivery, stimulating new collagen and elastin production that eventually reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and even tightens the skin. Best of all, the built-in cooling feature SofCool™ makes the procedure comfortable by cooling and soothing the skin, and protects the surface of the skin while the machine works on collagen stimulation. A real-time temperature monitor also helps the doctor make sure that the right amount of heat is delivered.
Now, the best news to hear from a patient’s point of view is that there is barely any downtime—maybe a little red and swelling for only a few hours after the treatment. The procedure itself only takes about 30 to 45 minutes for the full face. “It kind of sets the clock back, and helps preserve our youth. So the results can take up to a month to see improvement because collagen production takes time; and it will continue to improve for six months after treatment,” explains Ortiz to Manila Bulletin Lifestyle, adding that it’s best to avail of this once a year. Some of her patients, though, go to her clinic three to six months post treatment.
“All patients are good candidates, all patients need good collagen,” she adds. Ortiz also adds that it is the most in-demand treatment when it comes to reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Her patients have availed of this more than once due to its non-invasive feature and effective results. “Number one is patient satisfaction. Patients had to come back happy with their results. If patients are unhappy, it doesn’t matter how good the technology is, right? My patients have been very happy. Number two is comfortable treatment. There’s no downtime, so it’s easier to have it done during your lunch time or during your busy schedule, because you don’t have to plan it so much. I’d say those are the things that make it successful.”
