Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sofwave?
Sofwave is a non-invasive treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to improve skin laxity, lift, and add volume, giving you a more youthful appearance. It’s a great way to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin without needing needles or surgery. It is the ultimate lunchtime treatment – you can achieve noticeable results in a 30–45-minute session and return to your day!
Why should I choose Sofwave?
Sofwave™ is the leader in non-invasive energy-based solutions. Our proprietary technology is proven to trigger neocollagenesis, which increases collagen and stimulates elastin and hyaluronic acid production. This triple action counteracts the signs of aging, delivering noticeable natural results after just one treatment.
Is Sofwave approved to treat all skin types?
Yes, Sofwave is FDA-cleared to treat all skin types.
How long is the Sofwave™ treatment?
Most Sofwave™ treatments take just 30-45 minutes, so you can easily fit it into your busy schedule.
What does the Sofwave™ Treatment feel like?
Everyone experiences treatment a little differently! Patients may feel a warm sensation on their skin as the ultrasound energy is delivered, which can be resolved by applying a topical anesthetic cream just before the treatment.
When do the results appear, and how long do they last?
You might notice some initial improvement within a week. Still, the magic happens gradually over the next 12 weeks as your skin naturally regenerates and produces new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Clinical studies have shown that Sofwave results can last up to a year or more after just one treatment!
Of course, everyone’s skin is different, and factors like your age, genetics, lifestyle, and skincare habits can all affect how long your results last.
Can I go right back to work after my Sofwave treatment?
Yes, you should be able to return to your normal activities immediately following your Sofwave treatment! Some may experience mild redness or swelling, typically subsiding within a few hours. No special post-treatment care is required. You can apply makeup and resume your day as usual.
How many Sofwave treatments will I need?
One of the best things about Sofwave is that most people only need one treatment to see results! Unlike procedures requiring multiple sessions, Sofwave delivers noticeable improvements after one visit. And the best part? Your results will continue to improve in the weeks and months following your treatment.
Can Sofwave™ replace a surgical procedure?
Sofwave™ is an excellent alternative for those who are not ready to take that extra step and undergo plastic surgery. The results will be more dramatic in a surgical procedure, but there are risks involved with a surgical procedure, such as anesthesia and the occurrence of scar tissue.
How does Sofwave work to improve the appearance of cellulite?
Sofwave™ uses ultrasound energy to heat the dermis, the middle layer of skin where collagen and elastin fibers are produced. The healing process that follows the thermal effect stimulates the growth of elastin and collagen fibers. This, in turn, lifts the skin and improves wrinkles and skin laxity, which leads to an improvement in the appearance of cellulite.
Can Sofwave improve Acne scars?
Sofwave is a non-invasive treatment option that uses ultrasound technology to revitalize the skin’s foundation. By stimulating collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production in the mid-dermal layer, it effectively diminishes the appearance of acne scars. In several cases, improvement was noted following the 1st treatment session.
How many Sofwave™ treatments will I need to see results when treating upper arm laxity, and when can I expect to see them?
Our clinical study included two treatments, 4-6 weeks apart. You might notice some initial improvement within a week or two of the first treatment, but the best results usually appear gradually over the next 12 weeks after the second treatment as your skin naturally rebuilds collagen and elastin. Everyone’s skin responds differently; factors like age and skin condition can influence your results.
Does Sofwave™ cause fat loss?
No, Sofwave does not cause fat loss.
Sofwave’s unique parallel beam technology targets the middle layer of your skin, the dermis, at a precise depth of 1.5 mm. This stimulates your body to produce new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. By design, Sofwave avoids the subcutaneous fat layer, which typically begins at a depth of 3mm. This means your fat cells remain untouched, ensuring a natural lift without compromising facial volume.
