Sofwave

Sofwave offers proprietary next-generation ultrasound technology for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and eyebrow, submental, and neck lifting.

About Sofwave

Overview

Sofwave™ represents the cutting-edge technology for skin revitalization by employing innovative methods to stimulate the generation of new collagen. The Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology utilized by Sofwave™ has received FDA clearance for enhancing the appearance of the eyebrow, submental area, and neck, as well as diminishing the presence of fine lines and wrinkles.

Utilizing Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB technology, Sofwave delivers results in a single treatment session regardless of the season, skin type, or color.

Advantages

As people age, collagen and elastin breakdown causes wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity. Sofwave™ offers a noninvasive solution for collagen remodeling, targeting facial lines and wrinkles and providing a lifting effect on various areas.

Suitable candidates for Sofwave are usually individuals aged 30 and above with mild to moderate skin aging, showing fine lines and wrinkles. The technology stimulates new collagen production by creating heat in the mid-dermis, creating a more youthful look. The treatment is clinically proven to be effective in rejuvenating aging skin.

Pros

Pros of Sofwave treatment include safe, noninvasive firming and smoothing of the skin with visible results after one treatment.

Cons

Cons include the time it takes for new collagen to develop fully, the need for maintenance treatments, and less dramatic results compared to more invasive procedures.

What to Expect

Safety is paramount with Sofwave, as demonstrated by its strong safety profile and no serious adverse events reported in clinical studies. The integrated cooling mechanism, Sofcool, protects the skin from burning, further enhancing the treatment’s safety.

Treatment sessions generally last 30 to 60 minutes, varying depending on the area being treated such as the eyelids, lower face, full face, or neck; longer sessions may be required for multiple areas.

To minimize discomfort, your doctor may initially apply a topical anesthetic cream or offer ProNox (laughing gas) as an alternative or additional option.

After preparing the treatment area, the skin will be cleansed and a conductive gel will be applied before the Sofwave handpiece is used.

During the session, the handpiece will be moved across the skin to deliver ultrasound energy, which may produce a slight warming sensation; however, the cooling mechanism and anesthetic help ensure your comfort.

Recovery

Patients love that Sofwave™ is non-invasive and can fit into an active lifestyle. Patients can have the treatment and go back to their daily activities immediately.

Results

According to Sofwave, 72% of patients were very much or improved after a single treatment session, and clinical studies show that 80–88% of patients saw improvement after 12 weeks.

Safety Profile

Sofwave treatments are FDA-approved and clinically proven to be safe and effective for all skin types and colors.

Cost

The average cost of Sofwave treatment can range from $1,400 to $4,500, depending on the procedure, the provider’s experience, and the location of their practice
