Sofwave™ is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive treatment for lifting the skin on the neck, chin (submental), forehead, brows and upper arms, and it can also be used to address fine lines and wrinkles and cellulite. Sofwave relies on next-generation SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology.
This new technology uses a fractional heating effect created by Sofwave’s unique ultrasound delivery to revitalize the skin and stimulate the production of new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid deep within the skin.
Sofwave requires minimal downtime and treats all skin types.
Sofwave FAQs
Typically, the treatment protocol calls for 1-2 treatments, depending on the patient’s skin condition.
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel warmness of the skin. Treatment is comfortable simply by applying a topical anesthetic cream just prior to the treatment. Following the treatment, there are no sensations and there is no need to apply special care on the skin. Daily care can be resumed immediately post treatment.
The collagen regeneration process can sometimes take up to 12 weeks, so patients are expected to see ongoing improvements in the 3-month period after their treatment.
In Sofwave’s clinical trials, patients saw results after one treatment.
Sofwave is non-invasive, and clinical trials have shown the technology to be effective and safe.
Immediately post treatment, the skin may appear slightly red with limited swelling for up to a few hours post treatment.
