Weight loss from GLP-1 medications is a victory, but it comes with unwanted side effects: skin laxity and muscle loss. Losing the weight is only half the battle. Sofwave™ has been scientifically and clinically proven to lift and tighten skin without causing fat loss — a critical differentiator for this patient population.

In this episode, ASDS board certified dermatologist Dr. Arisa Ortiz sits down with Louis Scafuri, CEO of Sofwave™, and James Bartholomeusz, Chief Innovation Officer at Sofwave™, to explore the science and strategy behind skin lifting and tightening.

The conversation dives into why a combined treatment protocol — using Sofwave™ for skin lifting and tightening of the face and body, and Pure Impact for muscle toning and strengthening — delivers comprehensive results. Listeners will gain insight into how this synergistic approach creates a total noninvasive solution and enhances patient outcomes.

In this episode, ASDS board certified dermatologists Drs. Shilpi Khetarpal, Rohit Kakar and Mara Weinstein Velez break down why combination therapies often deliver better outcomes and more natural-looking results than single cosmetic treatments.

They explain how “combination therapy” means strategically stacking multiple cosmetic procedures — sometimes in the same visit, other times in a thoughtful sequence — to maximize results while minimizing downtime. You’ll hear practical, real-world examples, including multifactorial approaches to hair loss, acne and acne scarring, anti-aging and more — plus how personalized treatment plans can outperform one-size-fits-all fixes.

If you want to level up your skin care strategy with smarter, more efficient treatments, this episode is for you.
