Am I a good candidate for Regenerate?
If you are experiencing wrinkles, fine lines, or skin laxity, then Regenerate could be a good option for you. There are no restrictions on skin type or complexion, and it can address many areas of the face and neck, which makes it an incredibly versatile treatment.
It is extremely important that you have realistic expectations about the results that this treatment can provide. During your consultation with Dr. Klemperer will guide you to decide if the treatment is appropriate for you and your needs.
What should I expect with recovery from Regenerate?
Here is some of the best news: you can expect minimal recovery, if any at all, from Sofwave ultrasound technology. The advanced Sofcool technology prevents the kinds of damage associated with other nonsurgical skin tightening treatments and drastically reduces the amount of redness or soreness you will experience after the procedure.
You can resume normal activities and skin care immediately following treatment.
How is Sofwave better than other technologies?
There are a number of energy-based technologies that address lines and wrinkles. More aggressive options can cause significant damage to the skin surface, leading to potential side effects, long healing periods, and considerable downtime. Gentler solutions have shown less clinical efficacy and often require multiple treatments. Sofwave is safe, effective, and has no downtime.
How Many Treatments are needed?
Typically, only 1-2 treatments are needed, depending on your skin condition.
What does Sofwave feel like?

Treatment is made more comfortable by applying a topical anesthetic cream prior to the treatment along with use of a special cryotherapy device during treatment.

When can I expect to see results?
The collagen and elastic regeneration process typically takes up to 12 weeks, but ongoing improvement can continue for 6 months. The results will last for about one year, at which point it may be recommended to repeat the treatment for maintenance.
