One of the most frequent complaints patients have about aging skin is the loss of the smooth, tight, and full appearance it had when they were younger. Traditional treatments to tighten skin involve surgical intervention or plumping with dermal fillers. While these solutions can be the best options in many cases, there are also situations where a less invasive or more subtle approach is required. SofWave is one of the leading non-invasive skin tightening procedures available, and we’re proud to offer this solution to U.S. Dermatology Partners patients. Keep reading to learn more about this innovative treatment option.
SofWave is a skin tightening and smoothing treatment that utilizes Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology. It’s utilized to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity around the chin and neck or the eyebrows. After numbing the face for approximately an hour, the procedure itself is completed within 30 to 45 minutes. Thanks to the innovative Sofcool technology and the use of a Zimmer chiller for additional cooling, the treatment is tolerated well by most patients.
SofWave technology allows your aesthetic provider to easily treat precise areas of skin deep in the dermis layers while protecting the outer layers of skin. The ultrasound waves heat the dermis layer of skin, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production and tightening existing collagen and elastin fibers, which leads to greater skin tightness and elasticity.
Some of the many benefits of SofWave treatment include:
Anyone who is interested in tightening the skin and improving the symptoms of mild to moderate skin aging may benefit from treatment using SofWave.
However, most people who utilize SofWave are adults around their mid-30s and older who want to reduce the appearance of skin laxity, fine, lines, wrinkles, and sagging on the neck or around the eyebrows. It can be used in lieu of more invasive procedures or as a way to postpone these procedures.
There are many reasons that SofWave is recommended above other skin tightening solutions, including:
While it doesn’t necessarily deliver the same level of change possible with surgical face and brow lift procedures, SofWave maximizes the results that are possible from non-surgical solutions. If you’re looking to age more gracefully and improve the overall elasticity of your skin, you should consult with a knowledgeable dermatologist about the benefits of SofWave.
