As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity, leading to laxity and sagging. Traditional surgical options can be daunting and come with significant downtime and risks. But with Sofwave™, you get a cutting-edge, nonsurgical alternative that delivers results without the need for invasive procedures.
Sofwave™ is one of the most exciting advancements in nonsurgical skin tightening. If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to lift and tighten your skin, this is it!
WHAT IS SOFWAVE™?
Sofwave™ is a treatment that uses fractional ultrasound waves to heat below the surface of your skin. This high-intensity energy stimulates hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin production. These are essential structural proteins that strengthen your skin and contribute to elasticity and hydration – which we have an abundance of in our youth, but diminishes over time as we age.
The Sofwave SUPERB technology➕ proprietary technology works synergistically to combat the signs of aging by:
- Targeting Tissue Depth: The thermal effect is localized between .5 and 2 mm centered at 1.5mm of depth. Essentially this means that the technology is controlled with how deep the energy goes into the layers of the skin, therefore it’s proven to be safe for all skin types and ages and does not affect fat.
- Time and Temperature at the Target Tissue: Optimal dermal stimulation is achieved by heating the dermis to the temperature of 6-70C for 4-5 seconds each pulse. The technology is integrated with real-time skin temperature monitoring to enhance treatment comfort and ensure safety.
- No damage to the outer layer of the skin – which means zero to minimal downtime after the treatment.
- No injury to underlying facial fat, nerves, blood vessels and bones.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT WITH SOFWAVE™?
- Appearance of smoother, tighter skin
- Lifts the eyebrows, jawline and neck
- Improves fine lines and wrinkles
- Treats acne scars
- Continued renewal of collagen and elastin
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM SOFWAVE™?
Sofwave is safe for all skin tones and can benefit most patients with skin laxity. Sofwave can be used in patients in their 20s or 30s as a “pre-juvenation” treatment to prevent signs of aging. Patients in their 40s and 50s with a loss of elasticity around the eyes, jawline and neck will see the most noticeable improvements.
If you have more advanced signs of aging, alternating Sofwave with other anti-aging treatments like laser skin resurfacing, and Morpheus8, will garner the best results.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOFWAVE AND MORPHEUS8?
Both Sofwave and Morpheus8 technologies offer excellent results depending on your skin concerns. Sofwave uses ultrasound technology where Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency and microneedling. Sofwave’s primary focus is on lifting and tightening the skin. Morpheus8 addresses skin texture and toning, while stimulating collagen through microneedling. Sofwave is typically done once or twice a year for optimal results, where Morpheus8 requires a series of 3-4 treatments. Sofwave compliments the results of Morpheus8, and vice versa, since they both offer skin tightening at different depths of the skin.
WHEN WILL I SEE SOFWAVE™ RESULTS?
Sofwave™ results build gradually since your body needs time to produce more collagen. Patients typically see improvements starting at four to six weeks, with the full benefits visible at three to six months. After that, maintenance treatments are recommended about once a year.
