Sofwave™is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment of fine lines and wrinkles using a next-generation SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology. In December 2022, Sofwave™ was approved by the FDA for the short-term improvement of cellulite, making it another viable option for cellulite.
The fractional heating effect created by Sofwave’s unique ultrasound delivery stimulates the collagen production process, leading to the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Results are safe and effective across a range of skin tones.
How does Sofwave™ work?
The depth for treating wrinkles is 1.5mm in the mid dermal tissue. Our unique Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology generates heat at just the right depth. Additionally, an integrated cooling mechanism, Sofcool ™, protects the uppermost skin layer from burning.
The impacted treatment zones stimulate a healing response called neo-collagenases, which increases and regenerates the collagen in the skin, leading to the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles and helps improve facial lines long-term.
HOW IS SOFWAVE™ BETTER THAN OTHER EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES?
Today there are various energy-based technologies designed to treat facial lines and wrinkles. Aggressive options (such as lasers) can cause significant damage to the skin surface, leading to a long healing period and considerable downtime, and may have a high risk of side effects. Even RF microneedling treatments, which have recently become popular, can be uncomfortable, risky, and require downtime.
Gentler, non-invasive solutions (such as IPL and noninvasive RF) have shown limited efficacy and, in most cases, require multiple treatments.
Sofwave™’s clinically proven technology enables the controlled delivery of energy, in terms of amount and location, while protecting the skin surface with an integrated cooling mechanism. Even better, there is no downtime, making it an ideal choice for patients with skin laxity who want effective results without downtime or the need for a surgical procedure.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
Typically, the treatment protocol calls for 1-2 treatments, depending on the patient’s skin condition and degree of skin laxity.
WHAT DOES THE SOFWAVE™ TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel warmness of the skin. Treatment is comfortable simply by applying a topical anesthetic cream just prior to the treatment.
Following the treatment, there are no sensations, and there is no need to apply special care to the skin in the treatment area. Most patients can resume daily care immediately post-treatment.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?
The collagen regeneration process can sometimes take up to 12 weeks, so patients are expected to see ongoing improvements in the 3-month period after their treatment. In Sofwave™’s clinical trials, results have been shown after as little as one treatment.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS WITH SOFWAVE?
Sofwave™ is a non-invasive treatment for skin tightening. Clinical trials have shown the technology to be effective and safe. Immediately post-treatment, the skin may appear slightly red with limited swelling for up to a few hours.
