What is the downtime? Is there discomfort?
There is no downtime for these procedures and patients can resume regular activities immediately. There is a fractional pulsated heating sensation during treatment pulses, but Sofwave Ultrasound technology is integrated with cooling and is much more tolerable than other treatments such as Ulthera. At The Derm Institute, patients are numbed with a compounded topical numbing cream and also have the option to use PRO-NOX for increased comfort.
