Sofwave

Sofwave is an ultrasound skin tightening treatment that can address various concerns:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Skin laxity and loss of elasticity

  • Brow drooping

  • Jowls and submental fullness

  • Neck lines and wrinkles

Sofwave is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment designed to stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of the skin. It utilizes Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology, which delivers focused ultrasound energy to the mid-dermal layer of the skin. This layer is rich in collagen fibers, which play a crucial role in skin elasticity and smoothness.

    • Targeted Ultrasound Delivery: The technology delivers precisely controlled ultrasound beams to specific depths within the dermis, avoiding the surface of the skin.

    • Controlled Heating: The ultrasound energy gently heats the targeted tissue, inducing a controlled thermal injury.

    • Collagen Remodeling: This controlled injury triggers the body's natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen fibers.

    • Visible Results: As new collagen forms over time, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more lifted, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

  • No needles, incisions, or anesthesia required.

    Minimal downtime: Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

    Comfortable: Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.

    FDA-cleared: Safe and effective for all skin types and tones.

    Visible results: Many patients see noticeable improvements within weeks, with continued improvement over several months.

    Reduce the appearance of:

    • Fine lines and wrinkles

    • Skin laxity and loss of elasticity

    • Brow drooping

    • Jowls and submental fullness

    • Neck lines and wrinkles

  • Anyone with mild to moderate signs of aging: Sofwave excels at addressing fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, and mild drooping in areas like the brows, jawline, neck, and cheeks. It may not be as effective for deep wrinkles or significant sagging.

    Anyone who desires a non-invasive treatment: If you're looking for an alternative to surgery or injectables, Sofwave offers a comfortable option with minimal downtime.

    Anyone who has realistic expectations: While Sofwave offers noticeable results, it's not a miracle cure. It works by gradually stimulating collagen production, so visible improvements typically take weeks to months and require 2-3 treatments for optimal results.

    Anyone with healthy skin: If you have active skin conditions like acne or eczema, Sofwave may not be suitable. Consult your doctor to ensure treatment is safe for your specific situation.

  • Individual treatment length: Typically 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the treated area.

    Most patients see optimal results with 1-2 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Full results at the three month mark.

  • Immediate Aftercare

    • Mild tenderness: Some temporary tenderness or warmth in the treated area is normal. Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer or any recommended topical treatments as directed by your provider.

    • Sun protection: Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for at least a week after treatment. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when outdoors.

    • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and support your body's healing process.

    • Avoid strenuous activity: Refrain from vigorous physical activity for at least 24 hours after treatment to allow your skin to recover.

    • Makeup: You can usually apply makeup immediately after treatment, but choose gentle, non-irritating products.

    Long-Term Care & Monitoring:

    • Sun protection: Consistent sun protection with SPF 30+ is crucial even after the initial week. Sun exposure can hinder collagen production and reverse treatment results.

    • Skincare routine: Maintain a regular skincare routine focusing on hydration and gentle exfoliation to promote skin renewal. Consult your provider for any recommended products or adjustments to your routine.

    • Follow-up appointments: Schedule follow-up appointments with your provider to track your progress and ensure optimal results.

    • Avoid harsh treatments: Steer clear of aggressive exfoliating products, irritating skincare ingredients, and abrasive techniques for several weeks after treatment.

    • Listen to your body: If you experience any prolonged discomfort, swelling, or unexpected reactions, contact your provider promptly.
