How important is practitioner skill for Sofwave?

Thanks for your excellent question. Practitioner skill can certainly affect the results from a Sofwave treatment, though it is still a safe treatment even in inexperienced hands. The practitioner needs to ensure that the energy is delivered evenly so that the result too is even. Also, they have the ability to select different temperature settings (within a certain range) depending on the area being treated. And, importantly, they are making a decision about the number of passes they are doing (between 2 and 4) according to the client's needs. A 2 pass treatment will not produce as much collagen as a 3 to 4 pass treatment, but not everyone 'needs' 4 passes. So, this is really not just "plug and play" so to speak. It is customized to the client's needs and thus practitioner skill does come into play in terms of delivering the very best experience and outcome.

As a plastic surgeon, I like to perform the Sofwave on my patients focusing on their aesthetic concerns and my knowledge of anatomy. Initial consultation is important to help determine patient goals, examine who is a candidate and discuss realistic expectations.
