Can Sofwave Be Combined With Other Aesthetic Treatments?

When it comes to facial rejuvenation, there is rarely a single solution that addresses every sign of aging. While some patients focus on skin laxity, others are concerned with volume loss, deep-set wrinkles, or uneven texture. At Treat Medspa, Dr. Ryan Bloch believes that the most impactful results come from a multi-dimensional approach. Because Sofwave is non-invasive and targets a specific layer of the dermis, it acts as a perfect “anchor” for a comprehensive aesthetic plan.

The Strategy Behind Combination Therapy

The aging process affects the face in different ways simultaneously. As collagen diminishes, the skin begins to sag; as fat pads shift, we lose volume in the cheeks; and as facial muscles repeat expressions, dynamic wrinkles form.

Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to stimulate new collagen production specifically at a depth of 1.5mm. This is ideal for lifting and tightening, but it does not address volume or muscle-induced lines. By layering treatments, Dr. Ryan Bloch can customize a plan that treats every “level” of facial aging.

Sofwave and Dermal Fillers: Volume Meets Lift

One of the most powerful pairings in modern aesthetics is combining ultrasound tightening with dermal fillers. These two procedures work in tandem to restore youthful contours:

Sofwave for Structural Support: The ultrasound energy firms the skin “envelope,” providing a tighter surface.
Fillers for Restoration: Hyaluronic acid fillers, like Juvederm or Restylane, replace the volume lost in areas like the mid-face, temples, or jawline.

By tightening the skin with Sofwave first, Dr. Ryan Bloch can often achieve a more natural result with fillers. When the skin is firmer, less product is needed to create a lifted, refreshed appearance, avoiding the “over-filled” look that can occur when fillers are used to compensate for significant sagging.

Relaxing and Refining: Sofwave and Neurotoxins

While Sofwave improves the elasticity of the skin, neurotoxins like Botox or Dysport address the underlying muscle activity that causes wrinkles.

The Synergy: Sofwave focuses on the structural health of the skin, while neurotoxins relax the muscles that cause “11” lines between the brows or crow’s feet.
Timing: Many patients at Treat Medspa choose to receive their Sofwave treatment and their “tox” injections in the same timeframe. Because Sofwave protects the outer layer of the skin with its built-in cooling technology, there is no conflict between the heat of the ultrasound and the precision of the injection.

Surface Perfection: Peels and Microneedling

Sofwave is a “deep” treatment, meaning it leaves the surface of your skin completely intact. This makes it a great companion for surface-level resurfacing.

If you are concerned about large pores, acne scarring, or rough texture, Dr. Ryan Bloch may recommend pairing Sofwave with microneedling or professional chemical peels. While the Sofwave works beneath the surface to lift the jawline or brow, the resurfacing treatment polishes the exterior for a “glow” that ultrasound alone cannot provide.

Why the Sequence Matters

At Treat Medspa, the order of operations is key to your safety and your results. Dr. Ryan Bloch typically recommends performing Sofwave as the foundational step. Once the skin begins its collagen-remodeling phase, injectables or surface treatments can be added to refine the final look.

If you have recently had fillers, Dr. Bloch may suggest waiting a few weeks before your Sofwave session to ensure the heat energy does not interfere with the initial settling of the injectable product. This level of medical oversight ensures that each technology performs at its peak without compromising the others.

A Personalized Blueprint at Treat Medspa

No two faces age in the same way, which is why a “one-size-fits-all” approach never delivers the best results. During a consultation at Treat Medspa, Dr. Ryan Bloch examines your skin quality, bone structure, and specific concerns to map out a personalized aesthetic blueprint.

Whether you want to focus strictly on a “non-surgical brow lift” or you are looking for a full-face transformation using a “3D” approach (Lift, Volume, and Texture), Sofwave provides a safe, effective, and versatile starting point.

Conclusion

Can Sofwave be combined with other aesthetic treatments? Absolutely. In fact, it is often the preferred way to achieve a look that is both comprehensive and authentically yours. By integrating ultrasound technology with the artistry of injectables and the precision of skincare, you can address all the layers of aging with no surgery and minimal downtime.
