Exciting news! Sofwave, the skin-tightening facial treatment that we trust as a solid solution for lines & wrinkles, is now approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the reduction of cellulite.
Sofwave has been an innovative technology for enhancement to the face & neck in our practice. The approval of use in cellulite treatment represents a vital addition to our cosmetic toolbox!
About Sofwave Skin Tightening
The Sofwave treatment rejuvenates skin using high-frequency, low-divergence ultrasound and heat to reach the deep layers of the dermis where collagen formation is stimulated. It uses a Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam, or SUPERB, technology, which has now been deemed safe for smoothing cellulite dimples as well.
In a clinical study, 68 female participants received two treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart on the upper thighs and buttocks. Photographs taken at baseline and the three-month post-procedure mark were assessed by blinded independent reviewers to identify and grade the pre-treatment and post-treatment images. The reviewers correctly identified the post-treatment images for 89 percent of the cases.
Cellulite Treatments with Sofwave
Cellulite affects most women worldwide at some point in life. It can be a complicated condition to treat, and often takes a multi-modal approach. Total body rejuvenation often requires a combination of different treatments including skin care, tightening, fat reduction, and muscle toning for your best results.
That’s why our body shaping center also offers CoolSculpting+ with Z-Wave, Vanquish, Exilis, and more!
At Dermatology & Laser of Alabama, we exclusively combine CoolSculpting with an additional treatment step (at no extra charge) to maximize results that are proven, noticeable, and lasting.
