Contact UsWhat is Sofwave™?
Over the course of our younger days, we get to benefit from a lavish reserve of natural nutrients, which makes our complexion supple and firm. In time, this essential stock of nutrients will most likely diminish, making the skin lose elasticity. This leads to fine lines and skin that droops. When you would like to improve the aesthetic appeal of your complexion without surgery, then you might want to consider Sofwave skin tightening at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center. By using a unique technology, Sofwave's synchronous ultrasound parallel beam technology helps to nonsurgically lift the submental, brow, and neck areas to help you get firmer, healthier skin. More recently, Sofwave has shown benefits to tighten arms, abdomen, knees and even improve cellulite. Dr. Glenn Lyle and his team in Raleigh, NC are ready to offer Sofwave treatments for those who desire to rejuvenate and enhance their skin with long-lasting noninvasive procedures.
How does Sofwave work?
Sofwave™ uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to deliver controlled heat to the mid dermis and beyond which enables your body's natural healing response to stimulate collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. These all lead to a tighter more youthful appearance to the skin. The lifting effect is enhanced by ourhighly qualified aesthetic nurse's ability to apply the device in a precise fashion that creates vectors of tightening rather than simply treating the entire area.
When you arrive at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center for your Sofwave session, we'll start by thoroughly cleansing the necessary sites. Topical numbing agents are applied and allowed to absorb to make the treatment more comfortable. After preparing your skin, we will smoothly run the Sofwave instrument over your skin several times for optimal outcomes. This method helps encourage your own natural regeneration of collagen and elastin, which makes the skin supple and taut over the long term. The Sofwave device has an integrated cooling system that helps keep your skin cool and comfortable throughout the treatment. Your procedure can last approximately 30 – 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of the area being treated. When the treatment session is over, you can go right back to your normal activities.
FAQs
1. Does the treatment hurt?
Sofwave™ can be an uncomfortable treatment. In addition to topical numbing, we utilize a number of techniques to help ensure comfort. For example, Pronox™ -and inhaled gas like a dentist uses can be administered to reduce pain. Often called laughing gas, this nitrous oxide-based treatment is lighter than typical used in dentistry and goes away almost immediately allowing you to drive home after having a Sofwave™ procedure Oral sedatives or pain medications can also be prescribed. In some cases, nerve blocks were utilized to reduce discomfort.
2. What is the down time?
There is minimal if any down time with Sofwave™ treatments. You may experience mild redness, but it typically goes away in a few hours on rare occasions mild to moderate swelling occurs that may take a few days to recover but generally you can resume all normal activities after a treatment.
3. How long will my results last?
The effect of the energy treatment is permanent however as we continued age, it is important to use medical grade skin care and SPF daily. Many patients will have ongoing treatments every year or so to maintain the results as the aging process is relentless. This is true of almost all energy base device treatments.
4. What areas of the body can be treated?
Face, neck, acne scars, arms abdomen, thighs and knees can be treated and cellulite of the buttock and thighs can also improve with treatment
5. How long will it take to see results?
Typically, 3-6 months as it takes time to build new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Patient's report continued improvement even beyond 6 months.
Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center Reviews
WOW! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lyle and his team! I had a breast augmentation done last month and the entire experience has been nothing short of wonderful! I was nervous beginning this journey, but Dr. Lyle and everyone at his practice made me feel very comfortable and were so supportive from start to finish. I honestly wish I could do it all over again! Dr. Lyle is very calming, listens to his patients, and truly is an artist at what he does! I have had several people ask me who my surgeon was and of course I am proud and excited to tell them Dr. Lyle and his wonderful team at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center! I could not be happier with the results! My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner!! I am an RN and had pretty high standards beginning this process but Dr. Lyle and his team far exceeded them! The office is absolutely beautiful as well, even my husband commented on how relaxed he felt sitting in the waiting room. They have an awesome Instagram page too with really good information and education about different types of procedures, aesthetic treatments, surgeries, etc. The whole experience has me wanting to become an aesthetic nurse! Thank you to Dr. Lyle and his incredible team!!
Team is amazing, surgery perfect, realistic expectations and after care. Had three consultations before hand. Made the right choice with Dr.Lyle! (Tummy tuck)
I had a fantastic experience at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics! From start to finish, the staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. I got lip fillers and the entire process was smooth and comfortable. My aesthetic nurse, Haley took the time to understand my goals and delivered beautiful, natural-looking results. I’m beyond happy with my experience and will definitely be returning for future treatments. Highly recommend!
Dr. Lyle and his staff members are amazing! While visiting his office, I met with an esthetician, financial advisor, nurses, PA's and Dr. Lyle himself. Every experience at this office has been fantastic, everyone is so nice and kind. I had a tummy tuck performed and my stomach looks better than it did in high school! I am so pleased with the outcome...and so is my husband 😊! I would highly recommend Dr. Lyle and will be returning for anything I might need in the future.
Can’t say enough great things about Lyle Plastic Surgery! From the appearance of the office, professionalism and knowledge of their team to the results! Stephanie is an amazing injector! Highly recommend.
