Sofwave™

Sofwave™ is a next-generation ultrasound technology targeting the mid-dermis layer to lift, firm and tighten skin, including the face, neck, eyebrows, and submental skin, reducing fine lines & wrinkles without damaging the epidermis layer, allowing patients to return to their active lifestyle without disruptions or downtime. Most patients only need one Sofwave™ treatment to see their desired results, but some may require another treatment. The FDA-cleared and clinically proven non-invasive Sofwave™ treatment uses ultrasound instead of light-based or laser treatments, which means it is safe for any season, skin color or skin type.

How Does It Work?

Sofwave™ targets precisely 1.5mm in the mid-dermis layer, the exact depth for treating wrinkles. While Sofwave’s Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology stimulates heat within the mid-dermis layer, a cooling mechanism, Sofcool ™, protects the uppermost layer of the skin from burning.

As the ultrasound technology heats the cells to a specific temperature, the targeted treatment areas are affected by cellular disruption. The cellular disruption causes a healing response in the mid-dermis layer, creating regeneration and increased levels of collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles while also causing skin tightening.

What Is The Downtime For Sofwave™?

The dual technology of Sofwave™ is non-invasive and allows patients to return to their daily lives quickly. Each treatment is between 30 – 40 minutes, utilizing Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology with integrated cooling Sofcool™, making it the perfect treatment to get before a holiday or fit into any busy schedule as it does not damage the top layer of skin.

Who Is A Candidate For Sofwave™?

In our mid-20s, collagen and elastin degradation starts, resulting in wrinkles and reduced skin elasticity. As Sofwave™ helps improve and increase collagen production, anyone over 20 years old can benefit from being treated. Sofwave is excellent for prevention and helps improve skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles.
