What is Sofwave?
As you age, collagen and elastin production begin to decline, causing the skin to develop laxity, or become loose. Sofwave is a new, non-invasive approach to skin tightening that can stimulate the production of collagen. We offer this treatment in our Manhattan skin care clinic.
What Can Sofwave Treat?
Sofwave can treat mild laxity of the face, neck, and other parts of the body.
The treatment may be safe and effective for all skin types, as opposed to laser and light-based therapies that may cause burns on those with darker skin.
Who is an ideal candidate?
Sofwave is an ultrasound treatment for men and women who are looking for skin tightening of the face and neck. The device is non-invasive and is safe to use on all skin tones and types, including darker skin. Sofwave treatments are well tolerated by most patients. We offer a variety of analgesics offered to our patients to ensure comfort during the procedure.
How Does Sofwave Work?
Sofwave uses a unique, Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Array technology that generates heat 1.5 mm in the mid-dermis, which is the optimal depth for wrinkle treatment, while the outer layer of skin is bypassed and protected. The emitted sound waves are converted to heat, causing the treatment zones to stimulate a healing response. As a result, collagen in the skin will be replenished, which may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as create a smoother and tighter skin complexion. Sofwave also comes with an integrated cooling mechanism that protects the outer layer of the skin during treatment, preventing it from burning.
How long is a typical treatment?
A single Sofwave treatment typically takes 45-60 minutes to complete.
When Will I See Results?
Results may be seen as soon as one week following treatment. The collagen regeneration process, however, can take up to 12 weeks to produce visible results. This means patients may consistently see improvements during the 3-month period after the treatment.
What Kind of Results Could I Acheive?
Because of Sofwave’s ability to stimulate your body’s production of collagen, which is the natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness, patients could achieve the following results:
Tighter, lifted appearance, especially in areas that have started to droop or sag (e.g., brows, cheeks, jawline, neck)
Toned and firmer skin with a youthful bounce (more elastic)
According to its clinical studies, 88% of patients were marked as improved or significantly improved in the appearance of facial wrinkles and necklines 12 weeks after a single Sofwave treatment. You can learn more about the latest Sofwave technology by visiting their website.
What is Recovery Like?
Because of the Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Array technology that precisely passes through the skin’s surface without damaging the epidermis or the underlying structures beneath the dermis, along with the device’s integrated cooling system, there is no required downtime after a Sofwave treatment. Patients will not likely feel pain following the treatment and may be able to immediately return to their normal activities. They may also resume their daily facial care regimen immediately after a treatment.
