Sofwave
Sofwave uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten skin along the brow, jawline, and neck, with no surgery and no downtime.
What Does Sofwave Treat?
Starting in your mid-20s, collagen and elastin naturally begin to break down, which can lead to a lax brow, a softened jawline, and fine lines across the face. Sofwave is a non-invasive treatment that addresses these early signs of aging by delivering ultrasound energy beneath the skin's surface. This stimulates new collagen production without any incisions or injections.
Sofwave is FDA-cleared to lift the eyebrow, tighten lax skin under the chin and along the neck, and smooth facial lines and wrinkles. Because it works with your body's own collagen-building process, results develop gradually and look natural, never overdone.
What Happens at Your Appointment?
Your Sofwave visit is designed to be simple, comfortable, and easy to fit into your day.

Your Experience With Sofwave
Sofwave works with your body's own collagen production, so results build gradually rather than appearing all at once. Many patients notice early changes within the first week, with continued improvement as new collagen forms over the following months. Most people see one treatment as enough to notice a difference, though your provider can recommend a plan personalized to your skin and goals.

When you walk through the doors of Anne Arundel Dermatology, you know it’s going to be a pleasant visit. I have been there twice and the front desk staff have been consistently professional, pleasant, and inviting. As far as dermatology services, I see Allison Scaduto. She is very cordial and personable. I will continue to see her in the future. The front waiting area, patient rooms, and the restrooms are very clean and welcoming. This is quite important to me as is the friendliness of the staff and Allison Scaduto. I would “highly” recommend this office to anyone seeking exceptional dermatology service!
Becky M.

Becky M.
Staff is always pleasant and professional.

Staff seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. Will recommend. New patient appointment only required about 45 minutes of my busy day. Thanks Dr. Gary and nurse Kim
Becky M.
This was my first visit to the establishment, and the experience was thoroughly positive from check-in to check-out.
Becky M.
I had such a great experience here from the moment I walked in the door. The women at the front desk were kind and welcoming and the check-in experience was easy. Then Ismeta came to bring me back to the room right away and I cannot properly express how warm her presence was. She was so deeply kind and caring and hospitable that it almost felt, not like a sterile doctor appointment, but like sharing a cup of tea with a trusted friend. And then Allie joined and she was also wonderful - knowledgeable and careful and patient. I left here feeling confident in my medical care and honestly just peaceful about the day moving forward. Thanks to the team!
Becky M.
Dr Zook took excellent care of me!

I had surgery on my back today to remove a melanoma. Dr. Harvey and the nurse (I am so sorry I did not get her name) were absolutely wonderful. I felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. Now, at 11:00 p.m., I have no pain and have taken no pain medication. If the operation was not so serious I could honestly say I enjoyed it! Have all the information and medication I need to heal me quickly and completely.
Becky M.
First time at a dermatologist. Everyone was friendly. They were efficient and explained everything detail.
Becky M.
I had a wonderful experience as a new patient here. I called after having severe flare ups with my chronic skin condition, HS, and was able to be seen by a dermatologist the next day! Everyone from the front desk staff to the assistants were warm and pleasant to speak with. Lina Weber was absolutely amazing. I was very nervous after having to have an abscess drained but she was patient and explained every step of the process to me as well as gave me several recommendations for daily products and long term treatment. I look forward to visiting this office again during my next visit!
Becky M.
Great staff, friendly, great service.

Becky M.
I was very pleased with the professional care I received with Dr Paige. She answered any questions I had and very polite. I was however, very disappointed with the unprofessional front office staff, due to their personal conversations constantly going on during my wait. I am a strong advocate for superb and professional customer service during interaction with clients. Perhaps they should enroll in a class
Becky M.
Excellent!!!

I was greeted with a warm smile. My experience was very comforting because I truly felt that my condition mattered to them and I really felt heard. Awesome level of care.

Becky M.
Always a great experience for myself and my children
Becky M.
I feel like i won the lottery when Dr. Christopher Dolan ended up being my skin cancer surgeon. I was very apprehensive about having any surgery, as this is only the second time in my long life to have had to have surgery. In talking to an old boss of mine, who also had skin cancer removed from his face, and the pain he related associated with its removal, as well as his dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome, made me very nervous. But the nurses who assisted in prepping me for my surgery were wonderful, always inquiring whether i was experiencing any pain, and working to ensure that i wouldn't feel any during my surgery were spot on great. Dr. Dolan, as others have mentioned for them as well, called me the following day, to inquire whether i had any questions or concerns, was further reinforcement of my belief that Dr. Dolan and his staff are the best of the best, and that i am blessed to have had them treat me.
Becky M.
Always seen at the time of my appointment. Never left waiting. Doctors are very thorough. Appointments are easy to make.
Becky M.
I have always found the staff to be courteous and helpful. They are also interested in how you are after any procedure. Always willing to help scheduling appointments around patient's schedule.

Becky M.
Amy is truly exceptional! From the very first consultation to the procedure itself, she was absolutely incredible. Her bedside manner is unmatched, her communication is clear and reassuring, and she made me feel completely comfortable and confident every step of the way. She’s professional, kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about her patients. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn’t trust my dermatologic care to anyone else. If you’re looking for the best of the best, Amy is it—cannot recommend her highly enough!
Becky M.
Great service from start to finish!

Awesome provider!!! Excellent service friendly staff. I couldn't ask for better people.
Becky M.
They were amazing. Absolutely a 10/10 experience for me. They made me feel heard, they explained things in a way that made sense, and showed me a clear path to recovery that I didn't think was possible. In addition to this, I had a medical episode at the end of my appointment, and they all did an amazing job at helping me and not making me feel bad about what happened. They are all so sweet, professional, and I can tell they care about their patients. If the doctor, nurses, and student doctor/nurse that was there is reading this. Thank you! You all did amazing and I will be getting some help about the medical episode I had, and I feel way better now. Thank you! I will 100% be coming back to North Atlanta Dermatology at Buford again!

Becky M.
Great job by entire staff!
Becky M.
When I checked in at the reception desk, the receptionist had everything ready for me. Waiting room is comfortable. My appointment started on time. The nurse, Georgina, gave me a thorough pre-brief. Dr. Montemarano explained the condition I had and the procedure he planned to use in a very calming and comforting manner. I would recommend him and this center to anyone who would need such care.
Becky M.
Great customer service.
Becky M.
Super friendly and helpful staff! Best at Botox.
Becky M.
I was very pleased with the staff they made me feel very important. I had gone to another one first and was not treated well at all and they did nothing for me. Today I was so happy to have a good Dermatologist. I will tell everyone that needs to go to one to come to this place.

If you have not had a hydra facial, schedule you appointment with Amanda at Meridiem Derm Spa at AA Dermatology. She gives an excellent HydraFacial and you leave with a very clean face, free of built up dirt and lotions. The procedure takes under an hour, but the results last 5-6 weeks. Amanda explains all the steps she is taking to make that glow happen. It is painless and the results are immediate. Very satisfied Customer, Pennie Burroughs

i visited dr.boswell a few years ago to get some assistance on adult acne and they really took their time to listen while i explained the history of my skin. my skincare routine is now much more simple and is the clearest it has ever been. i recently visited (with dr.johanna young) due to a persistent, painful contact dermatitis rash which no one was able to clear. they (again) took their time listening to me and truly made me feel cared for and it was 90% cleared within two days. i am a forever patient 😭 great doctors and great staff. thank you so much!!
Becky M.
Love this place!! Their prices are reasonable and their employees use the utmost respect and professionalism while meeting every need.

Your Sofwave Questions, Answered
Some patients notice early changes within the first week, with continued improvement over the following months as new collagen forms.
Most patients feel warmth during treatment, which a topical numbing cream can help ease. There's no pain or discomfort afterward.
None. You can resume your normal routine immediately after treatment.
Sofwave uses ultrasound energy to target the skin's mid-layer, where collagen forms, offering a non-surgical option with minimal risk and no recovery time.
Many patients see results after one session, though your provider may recommend a personalized plan based on your goals.
Sofwave works well for patients noticing early signs of skin laxity around the brow, jawline, or neck. A consultation with your provider is the best way to confirm it's right for you.
