Ultrasound Treatment.

"Softwave is extremely effective if you read one of the clinical studies looking at patients that were treated with one treatment of Softwave, 88% of patients had a significant improvement in fine lines, wrinkles and lifting on the face. There was also high patient satisfaction with the treatment as well. There is some pain involved with Softwave because it is a very powerful treatment, but we have some good tactics to actually help with pain. We numb the area for a good hour prior to the procedure. There's also contact cooling in the hand that we can turn up that quickly reduces the heat that is experienced from the procedure. We also have the ability to inject anesthesia for very sensitive areas as well as some analgesia in the form of a gas that can be used during the procedure as well. So there are many different strategies that can make the procedure a lot more comfortable. Majority of patients are absolutely fine just with topical anesthetic, but we have a number of different strategies to help you."

"They go in with this ultrasound machine called Softwave and they do it on your face. They do it on your neck. They can do it on other parts of your body too. But I've only done my face and neck area and it feels kind of like it's a little bit painful in bony areas because it does heat up for like a split second. But it feels like they're shrink wrapping your skin and I'm like, 'Yes, please please shrink wrap it to my face again.' You do it like once a year unless your skin's like really really saggy. Then you have to do it maybe like two times a year. But I only do it once a year. Honestly, it's not that bad. [...] The pain is like a fast pain. It's like heating, heating, heating. And just when it's like unbearable, it stops. [...] I didn't find it that unbearable. You don't really see the results until 3 months."
