Sofwave vs Halo - Does Sofwave give some benefits to preventing aging?

Question

I am a 37 YO with generally good skin. I usually get 3-4 Sciton BBL & 2 Halo laser treatments per year, and I LOVE my results from the Halo. Will the Sofwave give me the same "glow" that I get from the Halo treatments? I had a deep plane face lift and neck lift last year so laxity isn't a huge concern, but will the Sofwave still give me some benefit for preventing aging?

Laurie A. Casas, MD, FACS · Answer

The BBL uses intense pulse light to  target hyperpigmentation, redness, and  facial vessels. The HALO treatment treats skin tone and texture, discoloration, and reduces fine lines. Sofwave technology specifically targets the depth where collagen is the most abundant. The dermal tissue heating induces collagen production and remodeling. This combination results in tightening of the skin. Sofwave works below the surface of the skin and would be a great maintenance treatment to slow down the aging process.

Thanks for your question. Sofwave produces an excellent amount of collagen in the skin per session, making it a great treatment but also anti-aging/preventative measure. However, it does not resurface/exfoliate in the way that laser treatments do. So, you will see smoothing and tightening but I don't know about 'glow' per se. It does however have the advantage of no downtime, making it so easy to fit into your schedule. I hope that is helpful.
