La Peau Dermatology is now offering the latest in skincare technology, the Sofwave Ultrasound.
While lasers, needles and the like have become mainstream in the skincare world, you’re probably asking yourself — what is a Sofwave Ultrasound, and how can it improve the look of my skin?
The Sofwave Ultrasound targets fine lines by boosting collagen production. It penetrates 1.5 millimeters into the skin with its unique Intense Ultrasound Beam technology, designed to reach the deeper layers of the skin while protecting the outermost layer — allowing for no downtime.
“This treatment only targets the collagen beneath the surface of the skin,” said La Peau Dermatology founder Dr. Zaina Rashid. “You could complete the treatment in 45 minutes during your lunch hour then go back to work and nobody would even know you had anything done.”
Dr. Rashid recommends getting the Sofwave Ultrasound treatment once a year for optimal results, with results beginning to show at three months, and reaching their optimal levels at six months to one year.
“You’ll see significant improvements in elasticity, and fine lines, especially those around the cheeks and neck, and an overall tightening of the skin,” said Dr. Rashid.
She also recommends patients begin with this treatment, then add other aesthetic services such as fillers and lasers to achieve the healthiest and most youthful skin possible.
“This treatment can be added to any skincare regimen, or it’s a great place to start before adding other treatments later,” she said. “It’s recommended to be done before any fillers or Botox, then you can also add other anti-aging treatments like laser services.”
It’s also an ideal treatment for younger patients, who can use the Sofwave Ultrasound to prevent the wrinkles and fine lines brought on from sun exposure and aging.
“This treatment is ideal for people as young as those in their twenties,” said Dr. Rashid. “It’s preventative maintenance. Our biggest challenges in maintaining healthy, youthful skin are gravity and sun, so this treatment is able to help in reversing the gravity as time goes by and reduce sagging.”
As the only dermatologist offering the treatment in the East Valley, Dr. Rashid was eager to add the Sofwave Ultrasound to her list of services to help patients enjoy the newest and most advanced options for skincare.
“I wanted to add this service because it’s the newest technology,” she said. “Nobody else has it in the area and this is the only technology that’s ultrasound based that nudges the collagen at the deep layers with such few treatments needed.”
