Unlike other devices that utilize needles or a laser beam to break the skin, Sofwave™ uses Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ energy to bypass the skin’s epidermis and target the mid-dermis to stimulate new collagen and elastin, as well as your hyaluronic acid production.  

The ultrasound technology heats the mid-dermis and causes micro injuries, inducing the body’s healing response. As these injuries heal, new collagen and elastin are created. Newly created collagen strengthens the skin matrix, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, and volume loss.

Sofwave™ provides many extraordinary benefits that make it a unique treatment choice. 

Skin Lifting and Contouring

As we age, skin laxity increases while volume and hydration decrease, resulting in less definition in our neck, jawline and mid face area. The Sofwave™ treatment causes sagging skin to lift and contours the cheek, eyebrow and neck area. 

Smooth Wrinkles and Improve Skin Glow

Increasing collagen production in the skin allows for a more smooth and youthful appearance. Hyaluronic acid production is also stimulated and increased, improving skin bounce, texture, and tone. 

Downtime and Minimal Pain

Patients who are treated with the Sofwave™  technology experience very little pain during treatment. The Sofwave™ handpiece boasts an integrated cooling system that cools the skin down after a pulse is delivered. This technology allows for a very comfortable patient experience. Patients also love the face that there is no downtime with this procedure, allowing them to return to daily life activities immediately after getting a treatment. 

When our patients elect to schedule their first Sofwave™  treatment with us, they can expect to arrive early to have numbing cream applied. Your  Sofwave™ provider may apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area, ensuring you feel no pain or discomfort.

The Sofwave™ treatment can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the treatment plan. During treatment, patients will also have a cooling device called the Zimmer, which blows cold air over the skin and allows for a more comfortable experience. 

Sofwave™ is a non-invasive treatment, and recovery is very minimal. The skin may feel warm to the touch, with some possible redness. Both warmth and redness will subside one to two hours after treatment. Most patients can return to work or school immediately following treatments.

Yes. Other light-based treatments put darker-skinned patients at risk for hyperpigmentation or changes in skin tone. Sofwave™ ultrasound technology passes through the epidermis and only affects the deeper tissues, making this treatment safe for all skin types and tones.

Most patients see results after one treatment session. However, your results will vary depending on the severity of concerns, the number of areas treated, and your natural healing process. Your Sofwave™ provider will create a customized treatment plan that may involve more than one session for optimum results.

Sofwave™ treatments can provide long-lasting repair and revitalization. Once optimum results have been achieved, it is recommended that you maintain your rejuvenated skin with yearly treatments.
