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
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.
Great Experience. Happy with Results! - Very pleased with the service I received here! Dr. Lyle made me feel very comfortable during every visit from the consultation to the post-op visits. He was straight forward with what to expect as well, which I really appreciate. The nurses and office staff was amazing as well! I had a facial done and it was so relaxing! I had a mommy makeover done that included a tummy tuck and breast lift. One year later and I'm very pleased with my results! People ask me who did my work and I proudly recommend him. He was a good fit for me. I'm considering one more procedure! If I decide to proceed I will definitely consult with him!As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.
From the moment we met Dr. Lyle, we knew we had chosen the perfect doctor to perform my daughter’s breast reduction. The entire office and surgical staff was kind and welcoming and calmed her nerves. My daughter absolutely loved Brittany (Dr. Lyle’s nurse) and Haley (Dr. Lyle’s physician assistant). We had a phenomenal experience her day of surgery. As a nurse mom, my standards are high. I felt incredibly comfortable knowing she was in the capable hands of an experienced nurse anesthetist doing her anesthesia (thank you Claire) Dr. Lyle’s has been practicing for nearly 30 years. His experience and expertise put me at ease. He is a true artist. My daughter’s surgery went smoothly and she was absolutely thrilled with her results. Dr. Lyle and his team gave her the gift of self confidence and I cannot thank them enough!
I have, literally, always been self-conscious about the shape of my breasts. Over the years, this got so bad that I started avoiding mirrors when changing, and I truly believed there was nothing that could be done. But, this past August I worked up the courage to speak with a plastic surgeon. After reading his other reviews and looking at his gallery online, I decided to speak with Dr. Lyle in person. It was the best decision I ever made for my self-esteem. Every single person I've had the pleasure of meeting at his office has been an absolute joy. From the cheerful reception staff, to the nurses, to the scheduling team, I was completely at ease and knew I was in good hands. My surgery turned out even better than I'd hoped, and I cannot adequately describe how much this changed my life. If you are thinking about having a breast lift, please give the team a call. And thank you to everyone at the office who gave me back a part of myself I thought I'd lost.
