My Sofwave "Facelift" Experience
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I start shooting a film in a few weeks, so I want something that can make me look great quickly with no downtime. My doctor, Dr. Christie Prendergast recommended Sofwave™ as the first treatment in my journey to Graceful Aging. Sofwave™ is FDA cleared and clinically proven to remodel collagen, which improves facial lines and wrinkles, and lifts the eyebrows, submental, and neck area.
Sofwave™ treatment performed by Dr. Christie Prendergast who is a double Board-Certified plastic surgeon. Sofwave™ is one of many non-surgical treatments offered by Dr. Christie at Curated Beauty.

You look so refreshed after the treatment. It’s good to know that there are non invasive options instead of having a face lift. Best to you and Howard. Xxxx
Exciting. Thanks for taking us along!
Very interesting thanks so much for making these videos Monique and Howard 💗

You look beautiful. It is fun to see how you get jour treatment. And I look forward to the next video. And I am looking forward to see the results in a few weeks.
WOW!! Monique i love it. Hope I can find a plastic surgeon that does the procedure!!!
Thanks for taking us along with you for this treatment. Never heard of it! You look great! Btw...would this be the equivalent of Ultherapy?? Thanks again, Monique!
I’m excited for you Monique, and I’m excited that this is a procedure I can do. I’m 69 and I’m told I look very young but I’m starting to see the jowls. I’m hoping to find this on the east coast. I loved that you were not afraid of the pain and leaned into the NO ( love that stuff) I want to do this . Ty❤ Howard do you have a brother 😂 great guy !
Thank you so much for sharing your 1st Tx. Of SoftWave. I’ve been starting research on Tx’s for wrinkles and saggy skin on my face and now, thanks to you I know what I want. Cannot wait to see your results and further Tx. Plan and experience! Thank you once again for taking us along with you and thank Dr. Christi for me. Hi, I’m Karla, 61 and so excited about the SoftWave Tx’s. New subscriber.

That was interesting. Hope you get the results you're looking for. I think you're pretty either way. But it's about being happy with ourselves. I'm trying something different right now too. Best wishes.
You look beautiful regardless of any procedure Monique, but I'm curious to know how long the lifting effect lasts for. If you have one treatment & it takes approx. 12 weeks to see the final results then how long does that final result last for before you need to go again for a top up?
Hi Monique: Thanks for your transparency in filming this (or Howard filming it) --- are you comfortable with disclosing the cost of this Sofwave treatment? Thank you in advance 💖
This was great!! It's fantastic to get your feedback on this type of procedure . Thank you for sharing this . I can't wait to see what it looks like at 12 weeks. These procedures are a fantastic option for those who would not get a face lift. It is also more affordable.

That was really interesting and thanks for sharing it with us. Obviously it's not my business but, I have to say, l'm a little disappointed that you're starting a different treatment so soon after this one as l would have loved to see how effective this one really is.
Would be very interested in researching this. Have tried Plasma Pen (downtime unfortunately) and Potenza Radiofrequency Microneedling (wow, that hurt!). I'm wondering if this is similar? I could have used the nitrous. The numbing cream just wasn't strong enough. No facelift for me. I prefer the less invasive route even if it doesn't last as long. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm not seeing a followup video to this. Would love to hear your results and also did you have more than one session?
This looks so interesting. Do you have an update after 12 weeks? Would love to know your thoughts on jowls

Had it done today. No numbing cream or nitrous. We used a cooling hose that basically freezes the face. Hardly felt anything except cold. We were able to get to the highest temps too with this process. Some redness and blotches afterwards. I am 55, hardly any wrinkles but have some laxitity issues in my jawline.
I can see a difference. Wow.

Monique thank you for sharing the first part of this experience and well done to the Cameraman Howard. He is so so good to be with you on the journey. Can't wait to see the next installment!
I used to experience the same symptoms from NO (nitrous oxide) biweekly, when I received over twenty+ intramuscular injections of a long-acting local anesthetic, and narcotic to my face, and occipital region as a treatment for severe chronic facial pain, jaw discomfort, and headaches due to my deteriorating left jaw joint. Unfortunately, although I still use it during the painful injections each time, I don't feel any of those side effects anymore. I hope it helped you with the discomfort that you felt, Monique! Have you ever tried red light therapy? After three weeks of wearing the mask daily for 1/2 hour, I had noticeable benefits, especially tightening with my neck! Thanks for sharing this procedure! Love, and hugs, Beautiful, Sherrey💕💕💕💕💕

High intensity Focused Ultrasound sounds very much like the non-surgical procedure Monique had that targets deep below all skin layers to lift, tighten, and contour areas of the face, chin and neck. Interestingly, HIFU is also used as a non-surgical treatment for early stage, low grade prostate cancer as it targets cancerous tissue precisely through high frequency sound waves while avoiding and protecting critical structures around the prostate, with minimal, non-invasive side effects. There is also less chance of incontinence, and erectile dysfunction post treatment! I am a retired urology nurse! Sherrey☺
