Benefits

Sofwave™ is a highly effective treatment that can deliver visible results in a single treatment. However, a series of Sofwave™ treatments may be needed for some patients. Differences in skin quality, elasticity, degree of skin sagging, and wrinkle depth can all impact the number of treatment sessions that are needed to obtain the desired result.

This treatment is perfect for those wanting to achieve improvement with no downtime and can be done on all skin types. While this treatment can be used on any area of the body where patients have mild to moderate sagging skin (including the upper arms and abdomen), the most common treatment locations include the face, eyebrows, neck, jawline, and submental area (under the chin).

How It Works

Collagan and elastin are proteins that give skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm and toned. As we age, they break down and the result is sagging skin. Sofwave™’s Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology generates heat at a depth in the mid-dermis to promote the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in tighter, firmer, more contoured skin.

What To Expect

How it Feels

As ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel momentary heat on the skin. Following the treatment, there typically are no lingering sensations and the skin will appear normal with slight redness. Daily skincare and activities can be resumed immediately post treatment.

Collagen and elastin regeneration will occur over the next 4-12 weeks. Patients should expect to see ongoing improvements for up to 6 months after their treatment.

 

Treatment Time

The treatment will take about 45-120 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Downtime

Patients can resume daily activities immediately after the treatment. While some may experience mild redness, this is temporary and typically subsides quickly.

Frequency

Generally, 1 treatment, or a series of 2–3 treatments at 2-3 month intervals will be done, followed by maintenance annually or every other year.
