A comprehensive consultation evaluates facial anatomy, collagen quality, and treatment goals to fully customize treatment parameters.
Precise depth targeting and energy calibration are essential to achieving optimal collagen stimulation while minimizing unnecessary thermal injury. This physician-led approach differentiates dermatologist-administered Sofwave from medspa treatments and ensures integration into a broader aesthetic strategy focused on long-term skin health and natural rejuvenation.
