Recently cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this new skin tightening device is intended to be a game changer in treating facial lines and loose skin. Dr. Shelton says many of his patients who underwent skin tightening treatment achieved satisfied results with Sofwave.
Sofwave is not the only skin tightening procedure offered by Dr. Shelton at his practice. Ultherapy has long been one of the top-awarded non-surgical facelift treatment options. Ultherapy is also an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that tightens skin using ultrasound technology. Main difference between these two treatments is the depth of energy used during the treatment. Sofwave focuses on the middle to deep layer in the skin at 1.5mm depth where it promotes the collagen and elastin production. It minimizes discomfort and the time of treatment. Ultherapy delivers 1.5 mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm into the skin’s deeper layers, close to the bone which can cause a little discomfort. Ultherapy directs energy to a specific depth as a line of sequential single points whereas Sofwave targets a wider band at a specific depth and the energy is delivered at the same time along the whole area of treatment in that one pulse.
Both Sofwave and Ulthera treatments provide skin tightening and lifting. What is unique to Dr. Shelton’s practice is that he has more than 100 devices available to him to provide his patients the best treatment for their unique condition. He was the first physician in the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York to use both the Ultherapy and Sofwavedevices together, layering the Sofwave on top of the Utlherapy’s treatment depths and has found a synergistic improvement in the amount of skin that is lifted in his patients. He may be one of very few doctors in the world performing this combination treatment. It is important to consult Dr. Shelton and access accurately which treatment suits you. If you are looking for a no downtime skin tightening treatment, Sofwave or Ultherapy maybe for you.
