SofPulse® Electroceutical Therapy
SofPulse® uses targeted microcurrents to transmit gentle pulses to the tissue to help reduce swelling and speed up the natural recovery process. The low levels of microcurrent are completely safe and in fact, are 1000 times lower than those emitted by a mobile phone. Treatment with SofPulse allows you to better manage pain without the adverse side effects of narcotics and anti-inflammatory medication. SofPulse reduces edema, the resulting pain level and thereby decreases the requirement for medication. With less pain and less medication, you can move around sooner, which stimulates the body’s natural response to healing.
Pain, Edema and Narcotic Use
Studies have been performed to evaluate the impact of SofPulse on pain and narcotic use after breast reduction and breast augmentation procedures. Double blinded, sham-controlled studies were performed where patients were randomized to either SofPulse or sham. Pain levels were measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) and narcotic use was recorded as amount of pills consumed. These studies showed that SofPulse significantly reduced postoperative pain and narcotic use after breast reduction and augmentation procedures.
