Sofwave’s unique approach makes it suitable for a range of areas, from the face and neck to the arms and abdomen, and safe for all skin tones. Dr. Franco also discusses Pure Impact, a muscle-toning technology that mimics the effects of targeted workouts through electrical stimulation. Perfect for patients on weight loss journeys or fitness enthusiasts, Pure Impact offers tailored muscle enhancement for the abdomen, buttocks, and more, helping patients maintain muscle tone effectively. With future potential for AI-driven customization in these treatments, Dr. Franco envisions even more personalized results on the horizon.
