Loss of collagen comes with age, and it can lead to lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. While a facelift can restore your youthful features, it comes with all the risks and recovery of a major surgery. Sofwave™ is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that leaves your skin firmer and smoother while barely missing a minute out of your busy routine.
What is Sofwave™ Skin Tightening?
Sofwave™ is a non-surgical skin tightening procedure that uses ultrasound energy to firm and lift your skin and define your features. Sofwave™ can be used almost anywhere on the face and neck. Popular uses include lifting drooping brows and tightening the appearance of jowls. Sofwave™ also addresses fine lines and deep wrinkles for dramatic improvements without surgery.
How Does Sofwave™ Work?
You may be familiar with ultrasound energy due to the use of this technology in medical tests. Sofwave™ uses non-invasive Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology (SUPERB™). This form of ultrasound energy uses a wavelength that travels harmlessly through the skin and targets the deep layers of the dermis at a depth of precisely 1.5mm.
Cells in the dermis produce collagen, and when stimulated by ultrasound energy, they increase their activity, making more collagen that lifts and smooths your skin. Sofwave™ is one of the most effective ways to trigger new collagen production without causing injury to the skin. Your collagen production will stay at increased levels for several months or more.
Is There Any Downtime After Sofwave™?
One of the benefits of Sofwave™ is the lack of recovery time. Unlike many other skin tightening procedures, Sofwave™ has no downtime. You can return to your daily routine immediately after your treatment, although your skin may look flushed or feel warm for a short time afterward. Use consistent sun protection to keep UV rays from damaging your new collagen.
What Results Will I See With Sofwave™ Skin Tightening?
While other skin tightening treatments usually require a series of sessions to achieve results, most people will only need one Sofwave™ treatment. You may start to see the benefits of new collagen formation within a month or two, but full results typically take at least three months to develop.
We recommend annual treatments to maintain your results as long as you want, although how often you need a touch-up may vary. We also recommend medical-grade skincare to stimulate even more collagen formation and boost your results.
Am I a Candidate for Sofwave™?
Sofwave™ is safe for all skin types and tones. As a non-invasive treatment, it has fewer risks than surgery and no recovery time. Good candidates have reasonable expectations and want to tighten and lift their facial and neck skin. People with certain medical conditions may not be good candidates for Sofwave™, although this is unusual for this safe, non-surgical treatment option.
