How Effective is SofWave™ Treatment for Acne Scars?

Treating acne scars can be a challenge. At-home methods rarely work, and lasers can have side effects or require downtime. SofWave™ is now FDA-cleared to treat and dramatically improve acne scars. While some people enjoy this treatment for its skin-tightening benefits, SofWave™ can now help those struggling with lasting acne damage.

What is SofWave™ for Acne Scars?

SofWave™ uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam technology (SUPERB™). This form of fractional ultrasound energy works at a depth of 1.5 mm to heat cells in the dermis. This heat triggers cells to produce more collagen, the structural protein that keeps skin firm and smooth. While this technology has powerful effects on skin laxity, it can also effectively smooth acne scars without many risks associated with a laser.

How Effective is SofWave™ Treatment?

Testing performed during the FDA clearance process demonstrated how effective SofWave™ can be for acne scar treatment. Researchers found that 97% of those treated experienced improvements in acne scars. 88% reported being highly satisfied with their results after three treatment sessions.

SofWave™ technology has proven effective by earning FDA clearance for skin tightening and cellulite treatments. SofWave™ is one of the most effective non-surgical ways to firm and smooth the skin. It makes an excellent treatment option for those with mild to moderate skin laxity who are not interested in surgery.

What Results Will I See With SofWave™?

Most people benefit from three SofWave™ treatments for their acne scars. Results typically take several weeks to appear as your skin produces new collagen. People who get SofWave™ treatment for skin tightening may benefit from a single session, depending on the treatment area and the desired results. Most people need occasional maintenance treatments to keep collagen production at high levels. We can also help you develop an acne treatment routine to prevent new scars from forming.

Is There Any Downtime After SofWave™?

Non-invasive SofWave™ requires no downtime. You can return to all your usual activities immediately after treatment. Your skin may look flushed and feel warm for up to a few hours. Avoid excess sun exposure to protect your developing collagen from UV damage. Research testing has shown that SofWave™ has no serious side effects during or after the procedure.

Am I a Good Candidate for SofWave™for Acne Scars?

Almost anyone makes a good candidate for non-invasive SofWave™. Unlike many lasers, SofWave™ is safe for all skin types and tones and will not cause pigmentation changes. Ideal candidates want to see improvements in their acne scars without recovery time. SofWave™ treatments typically take an hour or less, making them easy to fit into a busy schedule.

★★★★★ 5/5

I’ve now had two procedures with NY Skin & Vein—one injection and one laser treatment. The care providers put me at ease by answering my questions. They’re clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. The staff in the office is professional and warm. I also appreciate their holistic approach to skincare (dermatological & cosmetic injections and laser services, as well as ZO skincare products). Looking forward to my next visit.

What a fantastic group of people that are employed at the Binghamton office. Always treat you like family and put you at ease IF you are the least bit apprehensive about procedures. DR. Stanley Anderson is absolutely amazing. Unbelievable with fantastic results. Love the way he explained EVERY little detail and options.Most appreciative of his patience with me.Highly recommend.

Doctor Dohner and his staff (at multiple locations I've visited) are all amazing. I visited the Binghamton office today after not being seen in 7 years. I was able to get a quick appointment, when I arrived they had everything ready for me and I was taken right back and had my procedure done. I have never experienced anything but professionalism and compassion from Dr. Dohner. I highly recommend seeing him and his excellent staff for anything vein related.

I went in to get my lips enhanced and some fillers. Though it wasn't the most pleasant procedure I've ever gone through. Erin and Dr. Dohner kept my mind busy with their witty and funny banter. My lips look great! Dr. Dohner and his staff are professional, compassionate, and they make sure you are comfortable and ready for your procedures. They will definitely be seeing more of me.

I came to Dr. Dohner with aching/ throbbing, leg pain, bulging veins, and tired/heavy legs. Dr. Dohner did an in office vein procedure to fix my veins. The office got me in to have the procedure within one week, before the new year because I had already met my deductible. What a wonderful experience. Thank You everyone so much.

I came to see Dr. Dohner because my legs really ached, and I had a difficult time to put a sock on my left leg because of swelling and tender to the touch. He did an in office procedure to close my veins. I can now put my sock on with no problem. I walk a lot better and can climb stairs without them aching. It was great that I didn’t have to fast and could be awake during the procedure.
