When patients visit Buffalo Plastic Surgery with Dr. Tamara Dawli, they often ask about non-invasive options for body contouring and skin tightening. For patients who want smoother, tighter, more youthful-looking skin on the arms, abdomen, or other areas, we recommend Sofwave, the latest FDA-cleared technology for skin tightening and collagen stimulation.
When Fat-Freezing Isn’t Enough
While CoolSculpting can reduce fat it is not designed to treat loose skin. In some cases fat reduction without skin tightening can make skin laxity more noticeable. That’s why many patients who initially consider CoolSculpting ultimately realize that what they’re truly bothered by is loose skin, not stubborn fat.
Why Sofwave is a Better Fit for Many Buffalo Patients
Sofwave uses synchronous ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. This results in gradual tightening, lifting, and improved skin quality without surgery or downtime.
- Best for: tightening and lifting the jawline, tightening loose or crepey skin on the arms, abdomen, thighs, or knees, and improving the appearance of cellulite
- Downtime: none — you can get back to your day right away
- Results: gradual improvements over 3–6 months as your body builds new collagen
Expectations with Sofwave
Patients love that Sofwave offers natural, gradual results. Unlike fat-freezing treatments, which can leave patients disappointed if skin laxity was their true concern, Sofwave directly addresses skin structure and firmness. At Buffalo Plastic Surgery, we often see patients who initially came in asking about CoolSculpting but leave realizing Sofwave is the solution they were truly looking for.
