Skin concerns don’t stop at the face. Loose skin on the knees, crepey texture on the arms, dimpling on the thighs, and softness in the abdomen are common, especially after weight changes, pregnancy, or years of Arizona sun. If you’re in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, or North Scottsdale and want a nonsurgical option, Med 44 Arcadia offers two approaches worth knowing about.
Sofwave for the Body
Sofwave is a non-invasive, ultrasound-based treatment that delivers energy to the mid-layers of the skin, where collagen is produced. Beyond the face and neck, Med 44 Arcadia offers Sofwave for the:
The goal is to support your skin’s natural collagen response, helping skin look firmer and smoother over time. Most patients return to daily activities right away, and results build gradually over weeks to months.
RF Microneedling for the Body
RF microneedling pairs tiny needles with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin. On the body, it may help improve skin texture, laxity, and the look of scarring or stretch marks. Vivace and Potenza are available at Med 44 Arcadia, and your provider will recommend the better fit for your skin and goals.
Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Many patients combine both, since each works differently. Your provider will decide what to use and in what order.
What to Expect
Sofwave is generally comfortable, with possible temporary redness or tenderness. RF microneedling involves numbing beforehand, then redness, mild swelling, or a rough texture for a few days. Most body areas need a series of sessions, and results vary from person to person. Your provider will set realistic expectations before you begin.
Is It Right for You?
Skin tone, medications, medical history, and recent sun exposure all affect which treatment is appropriate. Body treatments are not a replacement for weight loss or surgical contouring. They are best for improving skin quality and firmness. That’s why every plan starts with an in-person consultation with a medically trained provider.
Timing in Arizona
Fall and winter are popular times to begin, since it’s easier to cover treated areas and limit sun. Daily SPF 30 or higher is a must year-round.
