Sofwave in San Jose
A distinct ultrasound option in San Jose, with dermal energy delivery, surface cooling and an individual risk discussion.
A different ultrasound approach
Sofwave delivers ultrasound energy using a platform distinct from Ultherapy PRIME. Dermal thermal effects and integrated surface cooling are part of the approach. FDA clearances apply to specific labeled indications, not every use or marketing description.
A clinician should assess whether your concern is skin laxity, expression lines, pigment or volume loss. Sofwave does not address all of those in the same way and does not replace surgery.
Comfort and candidacy
Treatment can be uncomfortable despite cooling. Ask about pain-control options, the planned area and device-specific risks. Share prior filler, implants, skin conditions, medicines and earlier energy treatments.
Significant loose skin may be outside the change you can reasonably expect from a nonsurgical plan. A recommendation to wait, choose an alternative or seek surgical advice is a valid consultation outcome.
After the appointment
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness and other reactions can occur. Follow individualized care and contact instructions. Low downtime does not guarantee that you can schedule immediately before an event.
Improvement, if it occurs, develops over time and varies. Ask when reassessment will be useful and how the clinician separates early swelling from longer-term change.
Common questions
- Is Sofwave the same as Ultherapy PRIME?
- No. They are distinct ultrasound platforms with different delivery approaches and labeling.
- Is it painless?
- No such guarantee is appropriate. Sensation and pain-control needs vary.
- Can it restore missing facial volume?
- It is not an injectable volume replacement. The clinician should assess the cause of your concern.
