Dermaclae
Dermaclae is an advanced regenerative aesthetic treatment designed to improve skin quality, texture, and overall firmness using biologically derived material to support natural tissue renewal. It is commonly chosen by patients who want subtle rejuvenation and long-lasting improvement in skin appearance without relying on traditional surgical procedures. Dermaclae helps restore smoother, healthier-looking skin while supporting natural collagen activity and overall skin integrity. This treatment is suitable for individuals seeking a more refreshed and youthful appearance in a gradual and natural-looking way.
What Is Dermaclae?
Dermaclae is a regenerative skin treatment that uses processed biologic material to support skin repair and rejuvenation at a deeper level. It works by encouraging the body’s natural healing response, which helps improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall tone. Unlike surface-level treatments, Dermaclae focuses on enhancing the underlying structure of the skin to deliver more sustained and natural-looking results. Dermaclae is essentially like fat grafting to the face, so it can be used in place of fillers for certain issues. It does not require a donor site (fat grafting would require liposuction from an area), and it offers stable and predictable volume enhancement, whereas grafted fat will result in at least 25% resorption. Dermaclae is often used for patients who want noticeable improvement in skin quality without the downtime or invasiveness of surgical procedures.

What to Expect With Dermaclae?
Initial Consultation
Your consultation begins with a detailed skin evaluation to understand your concerns and treatment goals. Dr. McIntosh or the treatment team will assess your skin condition, review your medical history, and determine if Dermaclae is the right option for your needs. This step ensures a safe and personalized treatment plan.
Choosing the Right Approach
Each Dermaclae treatment plan is tailored based on skin quality, treatment area, and desired outcome. The approach is customized to ensure balanced and natural-looking results while addressing specific concerns such as dullness, fine lines, or loss of firmness.
Pre-Treatment Preparations
Before treatment, patients may be advised to avoid certain skincare products or medications that can increase sensitivity. Keeping the skin clean and properly prepared helps support optimal results and reduces the risk of irritation.
Treatment Steps
During the procedure, Dermaclae is carefully applied or administered to targeted areas using precise techniques. The treatment works beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate regeneration and improve overall skin quality over time. The process is designed to be comfortable and minimally invasive.
Post-Treatment Care
After treatment, mild redness or sensitivity may occur but typically resolves quickly. Patients are advised to follow a gentle skincare routine and protect the skin from sun exposure. Improvements continue gradually as the skin naturally regenerates and strengthens over the following weeks.

Awards And Certifications
How soon will I see results with Sofwave?
Initial improvements may be visible within a few weeks, with optimal results appearing over 8 to 12 weeks as collagen continues to develop.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients experience mild warmth or tingling during the procedure. Topical numbing is typically not required, and discomfort is minimal.
How many sessions are recommended?
Many patients achieve noticeable results in a single session, though additional treatments can be performed based on individual goals and skin condition.
Can Sofwave replace a facelift?
Sofwave is a non-surgical alternative that can improve firmness and elasticity, but it does not provide the same dramatic lifting as a surgical facelift. It is ideal for early signs of aging or maintenance between surgical procedures.
Are there any side effects?
Mild redness or slight swelling may occur immediately after treatment, but these effects generally resolve within hours. Sofwave is safe for most skin types.
