Sofwave Updates
In a recent visit to Dr. Doris Day's NYC office I got to chat with Dr. Day and Vicka, the Sofwave practitioner about their longterm results. In comparing our notes, what has been observed in the past two years of Sofwaving, is that each treatment produces a firmer and "better fitting" skin over the mid and lower face especially. In the current times of people shunning the "overfilled" filler face, or the "fake looking" facelift results, a non-invasive treatment like Sofwave is so appreciated. We are also a bit "device-fatigued"- the over-reaching or lofty expectations that some technologies come with. The skepticism is understandable, when so many people have experienced disappointing results or outcomes that just "don't seem worth it." As a reference point, @dermnurseLara and I have experience with the Ultherapy device from the previous dermatology practice, and we can confidently say that Sofwave is a better tolerated and successful treatment for patients who want sagging skin improved!
Sofwave uses proprietary focused parallel beam ultrasound. It is an energy source used at very high frequencies to specific depth in the dermis, this stimulates the fibroblasts to create new collagen and elastin, the result is like "spanx for the face". The sagging or lax tissue that tends to gather around the jawline, jowls, chin and midface are drawn in and just appears to "fit better" after a series of Sofwave treatments. Two sessions is optimal but some patients feel great just after one, and some patients go on to enjoy more than two, if they seek even more firming.
3 things make Sofwave very unique:
Truly no downtime. You leave the office with NO redness, swelling, or inflammation.
Truly high predictability in outcomes. This means, if you have been properly evaluated and you are a good candidate for Sofwave treatment, even a single treatment tends to show some tissue tightening and laxity improvement.
The more treatment sessions you do, the better the results. This one, I wouldn't have known unless I saw it with my own eyes. @drdorisday has no problem sharing her age, and her strategies for ageing gracefully, and when I saw her in September I asked her if she had done anything surgically since earlier this year. She said no, and the only thing she could credit her remarkably refreshed face with was a little bit of midface filler (see below for more information on SKin Phi signature L-Lift) and 2 more Sofwave treatments. She had done 4 Sofwave treatment sessions over the past couple of years, and the change from March to Sept this year looks like she had the most tasteful mini-lift! There is a cumulative and gradual improvement with successive treatments, as you can see in her Instagram stories and posts. Such a beautiful and natural looking restoration of her upper and lower face. We are inspired to do even more eyelid and brow firming with the Sofwave since learning that Dr. Day's office has been doing this to the well-heeled of the Upper East Side with great success.
Brilliant Distinctions rewards and The Needle Whisperer special offering
Think of a visit to The Needle WhispererTM as an impactful and pleasant "make-under". Little tweaks and subtle engineering of your own features, as they once were. The ultimate time-saver (because you can skip on a lot of concealing makeup) and confidence booster, the angles of light reflectance make all the difference. This is the power of the L-Lift…using the humblest amount of Juvederm to restore the positioning of crucial midface ligaments, for optimal support of the overlayed skin cheek envelope. Juvederm Voluma and Volux are the only HA filler that can claim 24 months longevity, and this means you keep your correction and results for typically 2+ years. This is an investment in your vitality and reflecting your best self, with filler touchups typically every 2-3 years.
I think the recent over-filling phenomenon we are witnessing on the streets is a result of:
Injecting too much, too often. The perception drift and dysmorphia generally increases as people see social media and influencer types getting bigger and more and sadly, this becomes “normalized”. Let’s normalize PRETTY and attractiveness again!
Inexperienced injectors not knowing what a final result will look like at 2 month followup, and simply injecting to get “results” in real time (hyaluronic acid filler attracts water molecules and creates a cohesive and expansive gel over the following weeks post-injection)
Greed. Enough said.
The results we like to share are exemplary of what NATURAL results and realistic restoration can look like when filler is used tastefully and sparingly. It should be “undetectable”.
There's no better time to schedule this self-care treat, brilliantdistinctions.ca has different fall specials promotions going on, so you can be rewarded up to $200 for Juvederm now until December 15, and $200 for Botox and Skinvive Double the Points now till December 1.
Did you know that Juvederm Skinvive increases Aquaporin function in your cells? This is an important regulator in the skin of hydration and moisture-retaining properties in the dermal layers, creating healthy “bounce” and shine. At SKin Phi, 2 syringes of Skinvive is offered at just $1000 and can effectively treat the shadowy areas around the mouth and chin, back of hands, or crepey skin of the neck

Vitamins for the Skin. Say hello to Skinceuticals superstars
Medical-grade skincare simply means that there were clinical studies performed to back the marketing and labelling claims of the products. Not everything sold at Sephora does what it claims, but if a product line is "medical grade" they have met scientific criteria to PROVE they have efficacy. Skinceuticals might be the OG medical grade product line, and what we love about highlighting the most useful serum anti-oxidants is that you can layer these with your current skincare. To keep things simple yet effective.
We will only stock the most popular products, and it's not our intention to have you buy a dozen products that you don't need.... so consult with Lisa or one of our staff about what your skincare goals are and we can help you fine-tune your skincare regime at home.
NEW! The long awaited P-Tiox is like a swiss army knife antioxidant serum, which includes the Argirelene. This peptide has a wrinkle smoothing effect, and creates "glass-like" skin quality with regular use. While it can never replace injection of Botox injections directly into muscles that create deep movement wrinkles, P-Tiox will iron out the crepey lines of skin tension. We have been diligently using this ourselves, and so far...so good!
If you know what you like and it's serving your skincare needs, you can also enjoy FREE SHIPPING by using our SKin Phi Skinceuticals link to website.
