Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Sarolta Szabo

Sourced directly from Dr. Sarolta Szabo's social posts and replies.

What is Sofwave and what are its benefits?
Sofwave is a non-invasive treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate the skin's natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which are essential for firm, smooth, and refreshed-looking skin. It requires little to no preparation or downtime, and patients can immediately return to their normal routine. Improvements are gradual and natural-looking, occurring over several weeks as the skin regenerates. Sofwave is FDA-cleared to improve facial fine lines and wrinkles, lift the eyebrow, submental (under the chin) and neck tissues, improve skin laxity on the upper arms, and treat acne scars.

What is the difference between 'tech neck' and 'turkey neck'?
Tech neck refers to muscle strain and discomfort caused by prolonged downward posture while looking at phones, tablets, or computers, and is a posture and muscle-related concern, not a skin concern. Turkey neck, however, refers to changes in the skin, including laxity, thinning, wrinkles, and loss of firmness that can happen as we age.

What is Dr. Szabo's approach to treating aging skin?
There is no overnight 'quick fix' for aging skin. The best results come from a personalized approach based on your individual skin, goals, and lifestyle. The right treatment plan starts with understanding what is causing your concern, and a consultation is used to create a customized plan.
Source →
What are the correct guidelines for sunscreen application?
Not using enough sunscreen is one of the biggest mistakes people make, as most apply far less than the amount needed to achieve the SPF listed on the bottle, reducing its effectiveness. Sunscreen should be applied generously to cover all exposed skin and reapplied at least every 2 hours when outdoors, or sooner after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. Correct application helps protect skin from sunburn, premature aging, and reduces the risk of skin cancer.

How can I protect my skin from blue light?
Blue light, also known as high-energy visible light, originates from the sun and digital devices and can contribute to oxidative stress, potentially worsening pigmentation concerns, especially in individuals prone to melasma or hyperpigmentation. To protect your skin, wear a daily sunscreen (even indoors), choose a tinted sunscreen containing iron oxides for added visible light protection, reapply throughout the day during extended periods of light exposure, and support your skin barrier with antioxidant-rich skincare. Skin protection is necessary 365 days a year.

How does aging affect muscles, and why is muscle strength important?
As people age, they naturally experience a decline in muscle mass, strength, and function, a process known as sarcopenia. This can affect more than just appearance. Maintaining muscle strength supports mobility, balance, independence, and overall wellness, making building and preserving muscle an important part of healthy aging.
Source →
What is Lutronic Accufit™ and how does it work?
Lutronic Accufit™ is an advanced muscle activation technology that uses targeted energy to stimulate muscle contractions through a personalized 'workout' approach. It is designed to support muscles by helping them engage, strengthen, and stay active. The practice emphasizes that feeling strong isn’t just about how you look, but also how you move, feel, and age.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$1,057

Payments

37

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Sarolta Szabo received $1,057 across 37 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
