Sofwave™ is the only non-invasive treatment that is FDA cleared for lifting portions of the face. It's a great alternative to going under the knife!
Sofwave™ is a revolutionary advancement in non-invasive skin rejuvenation, utilizing Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB™ to meet the increasing demand for effective treatments. This innovative technology delivers visible reduction in wrinkles, lifts sagging eyebrows and neck, and improves the appearance of lax skin in the submental neck region.
What exactly is Sofwave™?
Sofwave™ is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that harnesses the power of ultrasound technology. During the treatment process at Laser Skin Care Center, a topical numbing cream is applied for ninety minutes to ensure maximum comfort. Once the numbing cream is removed, a conductive gel is used in conjunction with the handpiece device.
With a larger handpiece design, Sofwave™ allows for shorter treatment times, making it a convenient option for busy individuals. The gradual heating sensation experienced during the treatment is well-tolerated, thanks to the cooling agent that protects the outer skin. By targeting the mid-dermis layer, Sofwave™ minimizes the risk of fat atrophy and eliminates the need for post-treatment care.
How does Sofwave™ deliver results?
Factors such as sun exposure, pollution, and aging contribute to the breakdown of collagen in our skin, leading to loss of volume, elasticity, and moisture. Sofwave™ utilizes fractional ultrasound technology to gently heat the mid-dermis at a depth of 1.5mm. This controlled thermal effect triggers the body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and restoring a youthful complexion to the skin.
Is the Sofwave™ treatment painful?
To ensure a comfortable experience, a topical numbing agent is applied before the treatment begins. Sofwave™ is equipped with a cooling mechanism that maintains optimal skin temperature throughout the procedure. While some patients may feel a warming sensation, the treatment in each area is completed before any discomfort arises. For those who may feel anxious, a sedative can be requested to help relax during the session.
What can you expect after a Sofwave™ treatment?
One of the standout features of Sofwave™ is the absence of downtime or recovery period post-treatment. Clinical trials and patient feedback have reported no adverse side effects, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. Initial results may be noticeable as early as 8 weeks after the treatment, with optimal outcomes typically achieved within 12 weeks. Sofwave™ effectively addresses fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity, providing visible improvements in overall skin appearance.
How many sessions of Sofwave™ are recommended?
In most cases, a single session of Sofwave™ is sufficient to achieve desired results, with skin tightening and wrinkle reduction lasting 8-12 months. To maintain rejuvenated skin, annual maintenance treatments are recommended by Laser Skin Care. For enhanced results, Sofwave™ can be combined with other skin rejuvenation treatments like Botox™, dermal fillers, or microneedling. During your consultation, discuss your goals and preferences with our experienced providers to tailor a personalized treatment plan.
Are you a suitable candidate for Sofwave™?
Ideal candidates for Sofwave™ are individuals in their mid-twenties seeking preventative treatment to boost collagen production and combat early signs of aging. Those with mild to moderate fine lines, wrinkles, neck sagging, or chin jowling are good candidates for Sofwave™. This treatment is safe for all skin types and tones, offering effective results without the need for invasive procedures. However, individuals with severe wrinkles or skin laxity may not be suitable candidates for Sofwave™ wrinkle reduction.
