What is a facial aesthetics treatment?

Facial aesthetic procedures are advanced treatments with rejuvenating properties for enhancing your appearance and improving your self-image and pride. Today’s innovative facial aesthetic treatments and skincare combine both art and modern science, so that even small changes can provide dramatic facial improvements. These treatments can soften wrinkles, fill acne pockmarks, contour the face, and define certain facial features.

What are your facial aesthetic issues?

Do you have blemishes? Wrinkles? Sagging skin? A crooked nose? An unattractive scar? If you are unhappy with a specific facial feature, this negative feeling can affect your self-confidence and self-esteem.

When considering options for facial aesthetics, you should contact a medical professional for a consultation, as there are effective non-surgical and surgical procedures that can improve facial appearances.

What are the most popular procedures for surgical facial aesthetics?

In the U.S., board-certified doctors often perform these surgical facial plastic procedures:

  • Rhinoplasty: Reshaping the nose

  • Blepharoplasty: Reducing excess skin on upper and/or lower eyelids

  • Browlift: Improving forehead wrinkles and droopy eyebrows

  • Rhytidectomy: Tightening the skin on the face and neck

  • Liposuction: Removing excess fat under the chin or in the neck

  • Facial implants: Making certain facial features more defined

  • Otoplasty: Reshaping the ears

  • Facial reconstruction: Repairing defects with reconstructive surgery

What are the traditional non-surgical types of facial aesthetics?

Non-surgical facial aesthetics can include everything from skincare to non-invasive procedures performed by qualified medical professionals.

What are some of the traditional non surgical treatments

What are some of the traditional non-surgical treatments?

Traditional non-surgical facial aesthetics treatments include:

  • Botulinum toxin: (Botox) injections and collagen injections

  • Topical treatments: Skin care and other products such as hyaluronic acid, alpha hydroxy acid, glycolic acid, and retinoid products

  • Dermal fillers and fat transfer procedures

  • Exfoliation processes: Chemical peels, dermabrasion, and microdermabrasion

  • Photodynamic rejuvenation: Photodynamic rejuvenation and laser/light resurfacing treatments

  • Laser resurfacing: Laser resurfacing and laser skin rejuvenation

  • Ultrasound: Devices such as Sofwave to cause collagen remodelling

Of these traditional methods, what is the most popular treatment?

Botox injections are among the most popular cosmetic medical procedures. Botulinum toxin blocks the transmitters between the motor nerves that innervate the muscle, which simply means Botox is a type of muscle relaxer.

Once the motor nerve endings are interrupted, the muscle cannot contract – and when that muscle stops contracting, the dynamic motion that causes wrinkles also stops. Consequently, the skin smooths out.

How has Sofwave™ revolutionized non surgical facial aesthetics

How has Sofwave™ revolutionized non-surgical facial aesthetics?

In 2020, Sofwave™ unveiled its next-generation ultrasound technology for treating wrinkles and lax skin. Sofwave™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology is now a preferred treatment for many doctors and their clients. The ultrasound energy precisely passes through the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen and elastin fibers, improving facial and neck appearances.

How safe is Sofwave™ technology?

Physicians and patients worldwide appreciate the safety features of this Sofwave™ SUPERB™ advanced technology.

With these treatments, doctors require no needles, no incisions, and no anesthesia to safely restore your skin to a more youthful appearance.

How is this safety achieved?

Sofwave™ ultrasound energy cannot penetrate deeper than 2 mm, thus preventing skin injuries.

The system’s Sofcool™ cooling mechanism provides safety through real-time skin temperature monitoring, protecting the uppermost skin layer from burning. Treated patients feel only minimal discomfort during the 45-minute procedure.

Can Sofwave™ treatments replace surgical procedures

Has the U.S. FDA cleared these Sofwave™ treatments?

Sofwave™ SUPERB™ technology has is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment to improve facial lines and wrinkles and for lifting eyebrows and lax neck and submental tissue.

Can Sofwave™ treatments replace surgical procedures?

Depending on the goal, Sofwave™ can be an effective solution vs. plastic surgery. To obtain more information and locate a Sofwave™ provider near you, please contact us.
