Using powerful ultrasound energy, Sofwave™ gives you firmer skin with fewer lines and wrinkles in just one treatment.

What is Sofwave™ Skin Tightening?

Sofwave™ is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, tightening the skin and visibly reducing lines and wrinkles. Sofwave™ works to tighten the skin around the brows as well as in the submental (under the chin) and neck areas. It also works on the rest of the face to reduce lines and wrinkles by firming the skin. 

How Does Sofwave™ Work?

Using powerful high-intensity ultrasound, Sofwave™ transfers its energy to the skin at a consistent depth of 1.5mm, an ideal depth for producing skin tightening results while minimizing any discomfort or downtime. The ultrasound energy produces heat, which causes controlled damage to the cells in this layer of skin. 

As a result of this damage, cells begin a repair and rejuvenation process that includes the production of collagen. A natural protein that gives our skin its strength and structure, collagen declines with age. By enhancing collagen production, skin can look tighter, younger, and smoother. 

What is Sofwave™ Skin Tightening Like?

Your treatment will last from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. You will receive a numbing cream applied to the skin, and the Sofwave™ technology includes proprietary Sofcool™ skin protecting treatment that will keep you comfortable. Unlike some other ultrasound treatments, Sofwave™ acts at the ideal depth to achieve skin tightening and wrinkle reduction without causing any noticeable discomfort or downtime. 

What Results Will I See With Sofwave™ Skin Tightening?

Although individual results vary, you are expected to see tighter skin in the brow area, under the chin, and around the neck. You will also see decreased lines and wrinkles in the treated areas and skin that looks overall smoother and firmer. The new collagen will give skin a healthy, resilient appearance. Your results will fully appear after about twelve weeks, and you can expect them to last about a year. Maintenance treatments every year can keep skin tight and wrinkles under control. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Sofwave™?

Most people make good candidates for Sofwave™. This treatment works for all skin tones and types, unlike many laser skin tightening treatments. The ideal candidate has some loose skin around the neck or jawline, sagging in the brow area, or lines and wrinkles. However, if the individual has significant loose skin, we may recommend a different type of treatment for maximum results. 

Is There Any Downtime with Sofwave™?

You can resume all of your regular activities after treatment with Sofwave™. The cooling technology keeps the skin from experiencing any damage, so most people see no residual effects other than some mild redness for a day or two.
