SOFWAVE OR XERF?

Not everything new belongs in my office.

Before I offer a new device, I study the data, speak with the engineers and scientists who built it, and look closely at safety and reproducibility.

I also do the treatment on myself, family, and friends before I decide to bring it in.

I don’t have every laser or machine, and I refer patients to other physicians if something else is a better fit.

But I won’t recommend something just because it’s new.

Here’s how I think about Sofwave vs XeRF:

🌟Sofwave
– Focused ultrasound
– FDA-cleared for 7 aesthetic indications (including face, neck, arm looseness; wrinkles)
– Multiple peer-reviewed studies showing collagen and elastin remodelling

🌟XERF
– Radiofrequency
– FDA-cleared for electrocoagulation and hemostasis (stops bleeding)
– Less published data on lifting, collagen, elastin remodelling so far

There’s a lot of buzz about newer devices.

And adoption often moves faster than evidence.

If you’ve had this done: did anyone explain the mechanism?
