How Sofwave™ Targets Wrinkles for Smoother Skin

Sofwave™ is designed to treat wrinkles at a precise depth of 1.5mm in the mid-dermis, where it can make the most impact. Using the advanced SUPERB™ technology, Sofwave™ gently heats this specific layer of your skin to stimulate collagen production. To keep your skin safe, Sofwave™ includes a special cooling system called Sofcool™ that protects the surface of your skin, so you don’t have to worry about burns or discomfort. As your skin responds to this treatment, it naturally boosts collagen production, leading to a significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. The result?

Collagen is a vital protein that keeps your skin firm and youthful. As we age, collagen naturally depletes, leading to sagging and wrinkles. Sofwave™ combats this by using its advanced SUPERB™ technology, which delivers targeted heat to the mid-dermis, stimulating the production of new collagen and helping to restore your skin’s youthful tone.

How Many Sofwave™ Sessions Will I Need?

Most patients require 1-2 sessions, depending on the condition of their skin.

an I Expect During a Sofwave™ Treatment?

During the treatment, you may feel a warming sensation as the ultrasound energy is applied. To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is typically used before the procedure. After the treatment, your skin will feel normal, with no need for special post-care. You can return to your regular skincare routine immediately.

When Will I See Results from My Sofwave™ Treatment?

Results develop gradually as collagen regeneration occurs, which can take up to 12 weeks. Many patients notice improvements within 3 months, with some seeing changes after just one session.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Sofwave™ is a safe, non-invasive skin tightening treatment. Clinical studies have confirmed its effectiveness and safety. After treatment, you might experience slight redness and minimal swelling, which typically subside within a few hours.
