Sofwave & Mental Health Impact?

Question

I had a Sofwave treatment done- I should not have as I see how on the website it states that anyone on psychiatric drugs should not receive the treatment. But anyway- a few days after I noticed increased energy and waking at night. It turned into full blown insomnia and I’ve been battling that and depression out of nowhere since the procedure. Is it possible this was caused by the procedure? And I’m curious as to why it’s not recommended for anyone on an SSRI.

Hello, thanks for your question. Sofwave is a treatment using microfocused ultrasound to stimulate new collagen and elastin formation in the skin, resulting in both smoothing and tightening with little to no downtime. There would be no mechanism by which this would interact with psychiatric medications. The heat is delivered at a depth of 1.5 mm in the skin. It would not have effects elsewhere. I would not expect that your insomnia was at all related to your procedure. Detailed safety information is available a the link I have provided below.
