We specialize in surgical and non-surgical skin tightening treatments, including Sofwave™. But can it replace surgery? What skin concerns can it address?

Here’s what our trusted team has to say about this innovative ultrasound technology’s capabilities.

The Benefits of Sofwave

We offer Sofwave in Manhattan, NYC, because it’s clinically proven to address a variety of common skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin laxity in the submentum (beneath the chin)
  • Drooping of the jawline
  • Sagging brows
  • Crepey skin texture
  • Acne scars

Uniquely safe for patients of all skin types, Sofwave requires no incisions, needles, or downtime.

Sofwave vs Ultherapy

While both devices use ultrasound technology, they differ in depth and clinical purpose.

Sofwave delivers Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) energy deep into the skin to trigger collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production in the dermis—essential components for youthful, resilient skin. All three of these resources decline with age, leading to the gradual onset of wrinkles and a loss of firmness. This makes Sofwave ideal for patients in their 30s through 50s struggling with early skin laxity and texture concerns.

Ultherapy, on the other hand, uses ultrasound energy in the deeper SMAS layers—the same tissues that Dr. Pearlman repositions during a facelift. This approach is better suited for more advanced skin laxity, targeting the underlying cause.

The Limitations of Sofwave

While Sofwave is a revolutionary tool that can offer meaningful improvements for many individuals, it is not a substitute for surgery. For those struggling with advanced skin laxity, Dr. Pearlman may recommend a facelift or “mini” facelift in NYC to surgically lift the facial tissues and muscles, called the SMAS, and remove excess skin, which energy-based devices cannot do.

Is Sofwave Right for You?

There is no one-size-fits-all skin rejuvenation treatment, so the best way to determine if Sofwave in Manhattan is your best option is to meet with Dr. Pearlman. Schedule your consultation to unlock expert guidance, whether you’re seeking a subtle refresh or long-term rejuvenation.
