“I want a lifting treatment — but I’m worried about the pain.”
This is one of the most common concerns we hear from patients considering skin tightening procedures. The good news is that technology has come a long way.
We are pleased to introduce CoolSoniq®, our newest lifting device that delivers powerful results while keeping discomfort to a minimum — thanks to a built-in cooling system that works simultaneously with the ultrasound energy.
1. What Is CoolSoniq®?
- CoolSoniq® is an ultrasound lifting treatment that firms and tightens skin from deep within — without surgery, needles, or significant downtime
- It works by delivering focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin surface, stimulating the body’s own collagen production
- As collagen rebuilds over the following weeks, skin gradually becomes firmer, smoother, and more lifted
- The key difference from older ultrasound devices: CoolSoniq® cools the skin surface at the same time as it delivers energy — so the treatment is far more comfortable than what many patients have experienced before
- Think of it this way: traditional ultrasound lifting can feel like a sharp, burning snap beneath the skin
- CoolSoniq® gently chills the surface as it works, so the heat is directed precisely where it’s needed — deep in the tissue — without causing unnecessary discomfort at the surface
- The result: stronger energy, less pain
2. What Areas Can CoolSoniq® Improve?
- Sagging or loose skin on the face and neck: Firms the overall facial contour and restores a more lifted appearance
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines): Softens the deep lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth
- Marionette lines and jowls: Reduces the heaviness and drooping around the lower cheeks and mouth corners
- Double chin: Tightens the skin and underlying tissue beneath the chin for a cleaner jawline
- Forehead lines: Smooths horizontal lines and gives the brow a subtle lift
- Fine lines around the eyes: Addresses delicate crow’s feet and under-eye skin laxity
- CoolSoniq® may be right for you if:
- You’ve been curious about lifting treatments but put them off because of pain concerns
- You’ve noticed your face looking a little less defined or your skin feeling less firm
- You want real, visible results without going under the knife
- You have sensitive skin and worry about how your skin will react
- You tried a lifting treatment in the past and found it too uncomfortable to complete or repeat
3. Is It Really Less Painful — and Does It Still Work?
- This is the question we hear most often — and the answer is: yes, and yes.
- The cooling system protects the outer layer of skin, which is where most of the discomfort in traditional ultrasound lifting comes from
- By keeping the surface calm and cool, the device can actually deliver more energy to the deeper layers — not less
- Many patients who previously described lifting treatments as very painful find CoolSoniq® to be a much more manageable experience
- Less pain does not mean less effective — in fact, the targeted energy delivery means better results with fewer unwanted side effects
4. What to Expect: Before, During, and After
- Before your appointment: We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your concerns and goals
- A numbing cream is applied ahead of the session to ensure your comfort
- Please avoid heavy sun exposure and any irritating skincare products for a few days before your visit
- During the session: A smooth gel is applied to the skin, and the CoolSoniq® device is gently moved across the treatment areas
- Most patients feel mild warmth or light pressure — but not the sharp discomfort associated with older lifting devices
- A full-face session takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes
- You can return to your normal routine the same day
- After the session: Some mild redness or slight puffiness is normal and typically fades within a few hours
- Results are not instant — collagen rebuilds gradually, and most patients see the best results 2 to 3 months after treatment
- For lasting improvement, we recommend 2 to 3 sessions spaced about a month apart
- Continue wearing sunscreen daily — protecting your skin after treatment helps maintain and extend your results
